they called you a developer advocate, but instead of advocating for developers you advocated for products
Palantir CTO: AI Researchers Smoke, Betting AI Will Cure Cancer - Business Insider
https://www.businessinsider.com/ai-researchers-smoking-ai-cure-cancer-palantir-cto-2026-10
"So many AI researchers have started smoking as a way of signaling to other researchers how much they believe in AI," Sankar said in an interview on CBS News' "Face the Nation" on Sunday.
The logic, he said, is: "I believe so much in AI that it's going to cure cancer. So I'm showing you my chips are all in."
Tech Bros need mental health help.

@mxchara linus torvalds, the programming god boy genius who either refused or failed to learn basic frontend python for an easy side project so he had “google antigravity”, whatever the fuck that is, generate it, and that experience convinced him LLMs were amazing at kernel code
under the direction of the guy who can’t figure out python
@zzt I like how "under my direction" is basically a disguised appeal to authority: people are supposed to be specifically impressed that Linus Torvalds, god among sheep, resorted to sludge-coding. I mean, it's special when he does it amirite?
Really, I'm not out to suck as much ass as Microsoft. That will just be a completely unintentional side effect.
@zzt I take some solace in knowing that, while my C chops are not nearly as good as Linus's, I will soon surpass him in skill as he gradually loses any semblance of technical ability by outsourcing it to the bobot and I don't.
god, remember all the little fuckers who used torvalds’ “not a social warrior project” proclamation as entryism to push for LLMs in other projects “for reviews only” because that’s what the kernel was doing
all of those little fuckers just got the outcome they were waiting for
BWAHAHAHA OMG

just decoded linear A and they're saying poob has it for you
they're saying WATCH OUT for this fuckboy ea-nasir tho. king of slopcopper
just filed a support request with lenovo for the dead T14
i figure i've got nothing done with it myself and i'm not going to, so i don't trust the fuckers but hey might get a working laptop back (with not enough memory)
That specific use of the word "clarity" is, to me, an alarm bell. I have never seen it used like that in a technical circumstance without it being a straight-up lie cooked up by finance people. The last time I saw a flag that red was on May Day.
https://1stproof.org is the most frontgroup-coded site I've seen in a while, and is only not technically a front group because they plaster their AI and EA funding sources all over the front page
Oh!
"Creepy Uncle Bob" (Robert C. Martin) has completely ditched his "Clean Code" grift and fully pivoted to AI!

I’ve seen some breathless reporting in the media about the situation in France saying it’s the biggest cyber attack ever and the result of a swarm of Agentic AI bots.
Reality: no. It’s a complete lack of security controls and negligent product development by the vendor.

I cannot emphasize enough how horrid Claude Code (and every other LLM) is at systems code
it’s horrid at everything, but when torvalds pretends it’s any good for kernel work he’s trying to talk over a clear pattern of failures
I cannot name a single vibed piece of systems code that actually works with anything approaching basic reliability
torvalds’ proof that any of this shit does anything at all is that:
- it shit out a generic python UI for one of his side projects
- the corporations funding him via the Linux Foundation and keeping him fat in tokens say it works great
that’s it. that’s where all his confidence comes from. that and him being a mediocre little fucker.
