I have noticed absurd lag from the browser usage and sometimes complete bricking of my network too on my computer. I thought it was just my computer getting old, but possibly it's ChatGPT.

Re: Codex logging bug may write TBs to local SSDs
#82Codex is one of the most infamous examples of slopware. Just having the window unhidden on my mac will cause it to use 100% of the GPU displaying the spinner message. THE SPINNER MESSAGE CAUSES 100% GPU USAGE ON AN MBP M5!! So any time you're waiting on the model (which is 90% of the time), your fans will be blasting (careful, don't use it on battery). The issue is on github and close to 6 months old. Probably since…
> Codex is one of the most infamous examples of slopware Woah, let's not forget Claude code is right there
Right, just yesterday I found my laptop kinda hot. And what do you think, it was good old Claude deciding to load a few cores with completely idling prompts.

Let me guess, there's also a bug where they train on all our data?
They don't need to. You pay them for the privilege to do black box reinforcement learning already.

I have exactly the same problem with Time Machine spinner on macOS. It even doesn't rotate.
Somewhere should be rare specialists with diploma who are capable of fixing such problems with waiting lists for years ahead.

if we are at 10x with AI and near AGI or ASI, then how is it possible that these products (Codex, Claude Code CLI) are still such garbage? shouldn't this "agentic AI revolution" have long solved this already? no way they're over there saying "we are on it plz wait" or that "it's too much effort"?
A simple explanation is that they are "good enough" for most people and they have better things to do. Even if tomorrow I was 100 times as productive, I still wouldn't have time to do literally everything and I would have to prioritize.

Because vibe coding is a toy… thats the secret.
You can use it to accelerate development certainly, but that requires careful change->review cycles. The developer still needs to be in heavy control, versus vibe coding having an agent own the code base.

#88The operating system has historically trusted the applications not to do dumb things too much . Only now we're witnessing the consequences much more frequently thanks to accelerated slop.

The OS is a thin layer providing an abstract and consistent interface regardless of the hardware configuration. Policing applications is mostly related to security and resources utilization, not moronic errors.

Yeah. Here I am sitting on a major incident at our company because someone’s vibe coded shit went seriously wrong.
Can you talk more in detail if possible and are allowed to do so? I do know one instance of someone literally losing a job because they vibe-coded their way to prod. Their response/justification was: "The code wasn't written by me. It was written by Claude/Chatgpt" They hadn't done anything to the database itself but you betcha that there are some horror stories involving database, lack of proper backups and Vibe-cod…

It boggles the mind someone could think that is a valid justification, because ultimately what they’re saying is “I’m useless, what you get from me is the same thing as prompting the model” which still means they would lose their job.

Culturally (across all LLM use, not just programming) we need to nip that in the bud. If we don't it's going to be the new "someone hacked my social media password" get out of jail free card for avoiding responsibility.
I don't care what tools you used, but if your name is on it, you're the author and the responsibility is yours. No "it wasn't me it was my typewriter" bullshit.
