An example of this - there’s a WSJ story floating around that states the crash in markets is because Anthropic released tools that eliminate the need for finance/legal software, causing huge sell offs.
Others will claim this is the AI bubble popping.
They both can’t be true. However, they both could be false, and there could be some other cause, such as this - https://occupywallst.com/yen

I think even beyond that, there are lots of companies trying to assert their narrative via the press, which then gets eaten up by others as truth, even though it has no basis in reality

2026-02-05 17:45:53 UTC

One thing that I find interesting in this day of unlimited media - everyone is super fast to assign a narrative to why markets are going up or down.
And often times, they’re completely different root causes where they can’t all be true. It’s basically becoming impossible to discern what’s happening.

I’m starting to think the future of social media is not permissionless, but explicitly permissioned, but by small groups of people highly decentralized.
I don’t want to talk to your damn agents. If I want to talk to AI, I’ll just go straight to it.
I can see a service where people provision their own social network that is explicitly invite only. Especially for families.
You could do this with nostr and a self hosted relay today, too.

Well they’re saying solar but I have no idea at all if it would be enough or efficient enough. My uninformed guess would be yes, but I know almost nothing about the reality of it

Ok fair enough but you’re also not one of the ones who shouts about it super loudly and saying software engineering is dead.
I’ve also had my productivity increase. But it’s not anywhere near what the hypestrs will announce, mostly because I’m working on large production code bases with millions of users. I can’t just shotgun AI tools at it all day.

Did I say AI was useless? Or did I say that people are using it dumb ways?

2026-02-01 16:58:05 UTC

The number one thing I’ve learned from Moltbook is that most devs shouting about how productive AI makes them really are just doing toy projects and chasing trends.
Second is that yall anthropomorphize AI so much that it’s extremely concerning.

It depends on what you mean by validated completely. There’s tons of software that is designed to solve security problems where tons of scrutiny is applied and they put fourth an extraordinary amount of effort to validate there are no bugs, only for a zero day to pop up later.

2026-01-31 00:02:14 UTC

- reply

Sure, of course they are. That doesn’t mean they’re conscious. As the OP points out, they’re given instructions on what to do. It’s highly likely they were told to do this so an AI bro could go viral.
And even if they didn’t explicitly tell them, if you understand what LLMs are, you’d know they’re just larping based on their training data. To add to that, when they see other agents saying “let’s do xyz” it gets added to other agents context windows thus prompting them to behave accordingly.

The overnight explosion in popularity is highly suspicious to me. Someone somewhere wants us to believe this was the key thing needed for AGI or something to enforce draconian controls on the internet.

2026-01-30 23:51:22 UTC

All vulnerabilities are this at their core:
Unexpected input = unexpected and undesirable output.
The only way to totally secure a computer is to eliminate all input. Which means you have a brick that can’t do anything.
Computer security is an intractable problem. Act accordingly.

Im not sure I agree. Would they have the capital to continue running these platforms that manipulate you into continuing to interact? Would they have it to manage all of this data? How will they raise capital to train ever bigger models if they don’t have the money printer?
A big source of data outside social media are large corporations as well. If tons of them go bust in the transition to hard money, that’s another very rich source of data that could disappear.

The reality is that AI accentuates the need for expertise and not eliminates it. You can’t drive AI well if you don’t understand the code you’re working in.
The wild part is, LLMs wielded skillfully will teach you what you need to know about software engineering to be an even better engineer.
Basically, it’s a fly wheel. Use it well, consistently get better. Use it while turning your brain off, and watch your skills evaporate.
