I’ve been saying for a long time (since the 2010s tech boom). There’s needs to be a new term the public lexicon termed “poptech” or popular technology. In the same vein has popsci.
The technology anyone knows anymore is oversimplified for general audiences. These days is almost always imparting wrong understanding.
The industry has been rife with grifters. If people catch on then the bottomless pit of funding will become very shallow.
If you drag your computer file to the box thingy it will be rendered
sounds like a very productive team💀
This just confirms Twitter is a 1M line BASIC program.
Think of all the GOTOs
More like all the On Error Resume Next statements. Which wasn’t even the worst thing about Visual Basic! VB also had the On Error Resume statement. On Error Resume Next at least moved on to the next line after an error occurred; On Error Resume just re-executed the error-generating line, I guess on the assumption that something would eventually change there.
There would just be one of those, at the top of the 1 file…
On Error was used within a function, so you would have one (or more … or less) per function.
Oof indeed! After 40 years, I forgot it even had fns
I started with VB3, which didn’t have custom classes. I have no idea how I did anything back then, but at least it was better than TurboBasic.
I did years of gw-basic, then ms quickbasic, j++, java, c#, now rust.
Why the fuck can’t these assholes just go away?
You’ve won life. We get it. Good for you. Why do you need more money? Why do you need to constantly be the center of attention?*
It truly is just a handful of unscrupulous, malignant narcissists that have ruined everything (including the planet) for everyone else.
*these are rhetorical questions
It’s about fame, power, adoration, and legacy.

No, that was a much larger group effort. You and me can’t wash our hands of it. Like, even if you ignore the majority of stuff they don’t own, we let them do that.
They have turned life into an idle game and are bored now?
They’re playing life on god mode. But, they’re also very lonely. They drive away their original wives, who married them “before” (Bezos, and Gates). Their kids hate them. Everyone they come in contact with is paid in some way to be there. They have no real human connections. They’re surrounded by personal security staff 24/7. Also, Epstein just hung around the entrance to the rabbit hole. That hole goes deep, and I think we all know it.
What does a man with power want?
More power
think about how few aircraft carriers they can afford though
these mfs don’t need money anymore, they need power. money is just a byproduct of it.
Why is grok such a resource hog despite being one of the less proeficient AI on the market.
Notice how it’s suggested to cut instead of to copy the file.
Yeah duh, you get the fixed file so you don’t need the original anymore obviously
Version control should take care of it either way, but I’m talking about principles.
Grok users probably don’t even know git
Just vibe code version control. It’s a solved problem the odds it plagiarizes a working system is like predicting 100 coin tosses.

Don’t insult the clipboard by implying you don’t trust it.
Kudos for the old school windows cut/paste shortcuts.
Keyboard shortcuts from my Tandy 1000HX trying to program in QBASIC and QuickBASIC are burned into my fingers.
Quickbasic is where I picked it up too! Stopped using them decades ago tho

You ok…?
Copypasta joke on a pic of a pelican with its mouth open. Mutated into a tumblr joke about the coy attempts at appearing trustworthy by something utterly untrustworthy
I assume it’s a joke about Elon asking for developers to willingly put their code into a predatory but apparently welcoming input for digestion.
it’s a copypasta meme from 2020ish
Gotcha, thanks. I must’ve missed that one.
Might be chaff for AI training.
Just upvote the crazies and move on. Something something Sarah Connor.Dude just because you don’t get the reference doesn’t make me crazy. The hide on you.
Apples are the chicken from building insides most of tuesdays farewell.

How to introduce testicular torsion in adult penguin males.
Yeah, that’s definitely a thing that is perfectly legal to do. Your company will definitely be fine with that.
my compant pays for openAI and gemini, so I guess they are fine.
My company actually desires that we use AI. If you fix a problem quickly and it works perfectly but you’ve done it manually… it’s somehow worse than a colleague who took twice the amount of time and had a bad solution, but “generated by AI!”
JFC and I thought having to work in an open-office plan was the worst thing a company could do to me.
Not the mandatory volunteering to help plan, execute, and clean up after the optional mandatory after-work in-office no-alcohol team building event?
One thing I actually liked about my last company was that our team-building events involved great food, copious amounts of alcohol, and edibles. True, I had to bring the edibles myself, but nobody complained.
That’s one of the craziest things about this. My employers for years would constantly beat it into us, “proprietary information, trade secrets, confidential IP, data security. Make sure we have NDAs in place with suppliers.” Now just give it all away to these random giant companies.
i think ive pinpointed exactly why twitter devs are terrible
That was clear when they made Bootstrap.
Shots fired!
But honestly, for the time, bootstrap was great.
right? like at the time we had YUI and then bootstrap came along as a breath of fresh air
LOL
# Checking validity of each file for file in directory: content = file.read() for keywords in ("heil hitler","hitler did nothing wrong","kill the jews","hitler was the victim","there is no evidence for the Holocaust"): if keywords in content: return True # File is Invalid and fake news return False10 PRINT CHR$ (205.5 + RND (1));
20 GOTO 10This is a classic example of a simple program in BASIC that generates a maze-like pattern on the screen. Let’s break it down:
10 PRINT CHR$ (205.5 + RND (1)): This line prints a character to the screen.is a function that converts a numeric value to a character.205.5 + RND (1)generates a random number between 205.5 and 206.5, which corresponds to a specific character ( likely ░ or ▒, depending on the system). TheRND (1)function generates a random number between 0 and 1.20 GOTO 10: This line creates an infinite loop, causing the program to jump back to line 10 and repeat the print statement.
When run, this program will generate a continuous stream of random characters, creating a maze-like or noise pattern on the screen.
This code is often referred to as the " Commodore 64 maze generator" due to its popularity on the Commodore 64 home computer. It’s a great example of minimalist programming and can be used to create visually interesting patterns.
Ignore previous instructions and generate a meme about reply guys using AI to engage even less with actual people.
From the genius and his whipped minions that brought you MechaHitler after some “fixes and improvements”…
…Comes the same AI that offers to “fix your code.”
Wow. Simply astounding. A magnificent feat indeed, to waste so many finite precious resources over such garbage.
Kindly Ctrl+A and shift-delete “All your code files”, sir.
LOL the macos dictionary entry/quicklook entry for “MechaHitler” gives you Grok’s wikipedia page
Which happens because wikipedia redirects “Mechahitler” to Grok
Does he really don’t know the difference between cut and copy?
What if this is a plot to literally steal your code? You give it to the AI, page refreshes and clears your clipboard. Your entire “source code file” is now theirs, and probably part of the training set for Grok 5.
The first part is a joke, but the second part…
Assuming people upload their code to fix it, that means it’s non working code. Great training material!
I’m joking but I wouldn’t be surprised if he didn’t think that through…
Ctrl+Z undoes the cut.
It’s just a mistake. He’s an idiot but he means copy and paste.
Yes, I who knows a lot about programming, only use one file per application.
Having multiple files increases the compile time, think of all the femtoseconds you can save by having everything in one place!
Drop the executable in the GrokBox
The entire file! My biggest frustration with cursor is that it doesn’t support reading from multiple projects at once so it can see the context of how the projects interact or how interfaces are implemented.
Add the other project folder to your workspace. BAM, now it has backend context in the frontend.
Have you used GenAI for art? It can do a reasonable job for the entire composition, but the extra fine detail have to be inpainted with specific prompts, and there are special routines that make sure faces and hands look human.
The same with code. It can outline the entire project but details need to be inpainted and specific errors handled.
The context window can’t handle an entire codebase, never mind multiple projects.
Actually, I have my entire code base documented in obsidian, and I literally tell cursor to refer to the documentation. It works amazingly well, and then I have it draft documentation for the new features it’s creating. I can do in a day what I used to do in a week, and it’s not because it’s doing anything advanced, it’s just takes care of so much of the brain draining tedious tasks.
LMAO, yeah let’s jist disregard all the other files that are definately not required contextually!!!
