I’m a software developer and my company is piloting the use of LLMs via Copilot right now. All of them suck to varying degrees, but everyone’s consensus is that GPT5 is the worst of them. (To be fair, no one has tested Grok, but that’s because no one in the company wants to.)

On top of that, there’s so much AI slop all over the internet now that the training for their models is going to get worse, not better.

They’ll ask their parents, or look up cooking instructions on actual websites.

Venture capital drying up.

Here’s the thing… No LLM provider’s business is making a profit. None of them. Not OpenAI. Not Anthropic. Not even Google (they’re profitable in other areas, obviously). OpenAI optimistically believes it might start being profitable in 2029.

What’s keeping them afloat? Venture capital. And what happens when those investors decide to stop throwing good money after bad?

BOOM.

I… write code. It does stuff. Usually the wrong stuff, until I’ve iterated over it a few times and gotten it to do the right stuff. I don’t “click around in a GUI.” If a tutorial is making you do that, it’s a bad tutorial.

Oh, you can fuck right off with that nonsense. I’m not both-sidesing anything. Israel committed (and is going to commit, almost certainly) more genocide. They are absolutely the bad guys here. Acknowledging that Hamas hasn’t been good for Palestine either isn’t at all the same thing as pretending they’re as bad as a country committing genocide.

I don’t expect elections before the end of occupation. I am 100% in favor of Israel getting the fuck out of Palestine, and fully support a Palestinian state.

It’s just important to be realistic about Hamas.

It’s Hamas. They existed as a terrorist organization long before now, and they’ve ruled Gaza without elections since the mid-2000’s. Israel is 1000 times worse - like I said, they’ve got a taste for genocide. But that doesn’t mean it’s pleasant to be a Palestinian caught between the two.

Yeah, this “peace” isn’t going to last a week, sadly. The Israeli government has a taste for genocide now and likes it, while Hamas doesn’t know how to stop being murderous terrorists. Mix the two together, you get… a lot of dead innocents who made the mistake of existing in Gaza.

Goddamn it.

I hope he gets rich from suing them.

If I were in his shoes, I’d be packing up the car for a quick trip across the Canadian border.

With shit like this going on, right-wingers who pretend it’s the left censoring speech can fuck themselves sideways with a pineapple.
