@peter While I stay away from OpenClaw (aka AutoGPT) or any such invasive tools, I can't help but shake my head at some of the comments in the screenshot.
"I made a knife. It cuts things."
"OMFG I just cut off my own pinky finger with your invention!!!11elf!1!!!1 Make it safe!"Sorry, but have some of these people been potty-trained yet?!

Peter Steinberger is a great example of how AI is catnip very specifically for middle-aged tech guys. they spend their 20s and 30s writing code, burn out or do management stuff for a decade, then come back in their late 40s/50s and want to try to throw that fastball again. Claude Code makes them feel like they still got it.

@jaredwhite @peter @suzannealdrich statistically (apparently) most UK motorcycling accidents are (or were) mid life crisis guys who had a bike in their youth, got a family and a car, kids grew up, and they wanted to feel young again and got an op bike with their extra income.

@peter Yeah, I really don’t understand it. I just spent my 40s writing code too, and now at the end of them I’m… writing code, because I never lost it. Just published a new thing yesterday, wrote it in C mostly without even autocomplete since I largely used BBEdit rather than Xcode.
I would be absolutely mortified if I had to use an LLM to be productive, and I would find admitting to using one deeply, deeply shameful.

lol everything is happening because the Silicon Valley guys got old and are having a midlife crisis.
@peter It would be laughable if it wasn't so sad.

@eschaton @peter The LLM isn't the problem, neither is it age, it's a techbro thing. Money to the exclusion of all else.
If we take a stereotypical attitude to aging it becomes harder to learn, and reactions slow down.
What you'd actually expect from a middle aged solution provider who has aged wisely is code that has been checked and tested before release (because you've learned not to trust either machines or people, and the consequences of not meeting a specification), slower more measured releases with plenty of detail (again : bitten by customer feedback), but most importantly the design being secure and protected against abuse (gestures at news articles for the past three decades).
You could only just, if you were lucky, get away with sub par security and design in the early 00s and it only got worse every year. This is not new, and anyone who doesn't account for it is both inept and doesn't care.
'oh no, what do you want me to do, it might stop my magic money tree because I don't care about you'

@peter really surprised? I mean the guy lets AI write code he des not review and blasts it in the world

@peter Ah, the guy Armin (mitsuhiko), the dev behind minijinja, credits for getting him into slop generation. He seems like an inspiration.

@scrwd @jaredwhite @peter @suzannealdrich Many years ago, a drinking pal was a social worker with a niche caseload. Young (for the most part) men who had suffered head injuries (and subsequent disablement) in motorcycle crashes. Mid-life guys pobably have a residual sense of survival.

@scrwd @jaredwhite @peter @suzannealdrich I remember reading about that.
It mostly seemed to come down to them underestimating how much two things had changed in the intervening years:- how badly their reflexes had slowed down, and
- how wildly the power and agility of sportsbikes had improved (the Fireblade was a legit game-changer).
It may have been about feeling young again, but it seems more often to have been that they feel they can pick it up again.
Me? I just never had kids :)
I see a common factor, in any case: seriously underestimating just how abruptly and how badly it can get out of hand.

@peter So, there's this guy that built a machine for people to avoid using their brains, and he's now telling people to use their brains? Did I get this right?

@peter @wendynather ageism is pretty cool. I’m sure this isn’t the fruit of the same poisoned corporate tree that caused companies to “adopt” open source literally because it was free

Why don't he just create a bunch of AI Agent Reviewer to support him?
It's so easy!/s

@peter I spent my childhood to mid-30s writing code, then a decade in teaching, then back to writing code and LLMs are *why* I'm now burning out.

@economia @fucinafibonacci va beh è mesi che chiedono soldi.
Facciano un po come vogliono, blocchino l'elettrico (che tanto non mi posso permettere ( ndr)) io ho ancora qualche tanica di gasolio agricolo in garage.

Se mai doveste passare o fermarvi a #mérida e vi va di mangiare un buon pasto vegetariano, vi suggerisco questo locale, lo "Shangri-La".
Ho preso un ottimo burrito con formaggio, seitan e verdure, seguito da crocchette di funghi in salsa di carote e champignons ripieni di radicchio, cipolla e formaggio.
Poi, 1 dolce alla banana e cioccolato bianco che a differenza di altri dolci spagnoli non ho trovato stucchevole. 21 €
Opzioni vegan.

@ramin_hal9001 Thanks for the suggestion. I am *really* trying to stick with gnome mobile for now but if/once I am finally broken then Phosh is the next UI I will try :)
I did do profiling, and when the bug happens >90% of my sampling was in the JS runtime. I reported my findings here: https://gitlab.gnome.org/verdre/gnome-shell-mobile/-/issues/70
Sadly no solution in sight yet, but would love to have more eyes look at this!

@justsoup normally it's fine, but once or twice a day it gets in a state where gnome-shell uses 100% of a CPU core. It does not let go until the process is restarted (relog or reboot). It'd be nice if it auto-rebooted when it happens honestly, the biggest thing with this is the battery life drain.
