Gosh that is a dark pattern! Now we need to be aware of injected opinions to control the narrative.

#672I'm pretty sure he's talking about companies and people outsourcing their decision making and thinking to AI and not really about using AI itself. I don't think using AI to write code is AI psychosis or bad at all, but if you just prompt the AI and believe what it tell you then you have AI psychosis. You see this a lot with financial people and VC on twitter. They literally post screenshots of ChatGPT as their thinki…
I didn’t think just offloading your thinking to AI was AI psychosis. To me AI psychosis is the handful of friends I’ve had who have done things like have a full on mourning session when a model updates because they lost a friend/lover, the one guy who won’t speak to his family directly but has them talk to ChatGPT first and then has ChatGPT generate his response, or the two who are confident that they have discovered…
I'm going directly to the point here: those people have clearly mental issues that would and probably did already show in the past without AI as well.

What I'm seeing is a little eternal September of support tickets about programs that fail to interface the JSON API of a customer of mine. The API is always allucinated. In the best case there are out of place attributes. Often they don't exist at all. I've seen x, y, width, height when we have only top and left. Of course no human read the documentation. Those are probably founders vibe coding a client without the t…
If you were tapped into AI first features you'd design aliases in your api so AI hallucinated api exists for next time

Correct. I use AI a ton and I'm having more fun every day than I ever did before thanks to it (on average, highs are higher, lows are lower). Your characterization is all very accurate. Thank you. Here's some other topics I've written on it: - https://mitchellh.com/writing/my-ai-adoption-journey - https://mitchellh.com/writing/building-block-economy - https://mitchellh.com/writing/simdutf-no-libcxx (complex change th…
I thinking that it’s quite a different experience going all Jackson Pollock with AI in your own studio on your own terms, compared to the sorry state of affairs of having 100s of Pollocks throwing paint around wildly within a corp to meet a paint quota.
This is the best characterization of the collective corporate madness I've seen yet. Bravo

Let it be a learning opportunity for us, folks. This is why you shouldnt take comments on the internet too seriously. People (or bots) will say anything just to get attention.
p.s. Offtopic, but this is why I believe the ability to hide post history was the tipping point of Reddit's downfall.

Those who burn the most money "win", I guess?

The Bun rewrite’s aftermath will provide strong evidence either for or against GP.
That’s like saying “the aftermath of Hiroshima will provide strong evidence either for or against nuclear power scientists”. It’s irrelevant and unrelated.
If Hiroshima were the only big public nuclear plant around the world, then yes, the aftermath of Hiroshima would provide strong evidence either for or against nuclear power.

The magnitude of negative responses to this comment is very encouraging.
Not because I agree with my sibling comments, but because I strongly agree with the parent, making me think my org and I are much earlier than I thought. :)
