what a fucking shitshow.

@peter this is goddamned spectacular

@peter “Do I look like I have time to clean up all these loaded guns I left lying around”
-
@peter oh my GAWD I am here for this.
-
@peter i dont know why he wouldnt just have his own moltbot or whatever review it? You can infinitely scale your productivity with more mac minis
-
Lol. Love how he is treating it like some entity he's powerless over. Just kill it, dude. Now, before the lawsuits catch up.
I pulled the skill to load moltbot this morning and it's a mile long. The whole place is a giant prompt injection playground.
@TheServitor @peter But... But... The innovation!

@peter "I don't have a magical team that verifies user generated content."
Just use clawdbot /s

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.
@peter @suzannealdrich Totally. If I had a dime for every tale of "I'd almost forgetten how to code it's been so long maaaan, what with my 7-figure VP job in Santa Clara and all…but then I picked up Claude Code and now I'm releasing 80 new apps every hour. This is the greatest thing in the history of mankind!"

@peter And it took barely a week or 2 between this dogshit AI "automaton" was released, alerts that this exact sort of abuse could be pushed and it happening.
The more I hear about AI, the less I understand the concept of FOMO.
I am definitely not missing out on anything. -

lol everything is happening because the Silicon Valley guys got old and are having a midlife crisis.
@peter good job all around, midlife crisis techbros

@peter Wake me up when Eternal September ends.

@enthraxxx @peter my condolences

@peter The AIristocrats!

@peter Came here [via a boost] to say exactly this. I’m LOL-ing and SIGH-ing at the same time.

@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.

Being pretty much exactly one of the stereotypes you describe, I like it because I can quickly bang out ideas I’ve had for years without all the drudgery.
Most ideas never came to fruition because I dreaded plowing through a bunch of boilerplate code.
Helping other developers solve complex problems makes me feel like I still got it.

@peter @GeekAndDad What part of this is surprising?
