@Akintola_steve Usually when it falls and crushes you.

At what point does a monolith become a problem?

@simonmaechling I’m intellectually honest enough to say that I am always right.

When thousands of independent studies converge on the same answer, intellectual honesty means accepting it even if it’s inconvenient.

@ayojoestar People tell me I have that exact look on my face all the time. Just lucky I guess.

i wish i could say '???????' in real life. it would be very useful.

@hiarun02 False dichotomy much?

Left or Right ?

@wendelltalks I always liked the designed universe theory. Now everytime I do something right on accident I can say, ‘I meant to do that.’

More evidence that the universe was designed!

(Insert browser here) is the best browser. Change my mind.

@AbhiCodes15 Good enough will almost always beat good if good takes extra steps. Unless you’re in it for the journey.

Genuine question: If Linux is so good… why do most people still use Windows?

@BacLeodiv Be a dumbass.

Name one thing you can do well that Claude can’t

@trying_to_exits Me personally, 90 percent of the apps I deleted was because I was trying to remove it from my home-screen.

Why do most users uninstall apps ? A) Bad UI B) Too many ads C) No value D) comment

@Saanvi_dhillon Please, everything knows they’re the same thing.

most people get this wrong what’s the difference between 100 MB/s and 100 Mb/s?

@engineers_feed My understanding stopped at IDK.

ldk = I don’t know Imo = in my opinion Brb = be right back F = ma pV = nRT V = IR p1V1 = p2V2 E = mc²

@Mach_Tactics What do you mean? I do it all the time. The thesaurus is my best friend. And trust me, it don’t get dumber than me.

A 130 IQ man can learn to talk at a 90 IQ level, for the sake of appealing to the roughly 100 IQ masses. A 90 IQ man can NEVER learn to talk at a 130 IQ level. Smart people can learn to talk dumb. Dumb people cannot learn to talk smart.

@pcshipp Interesting. It actually feels like the exact opposite to me. I think it might have a lot more to do with what you use them for. I use twitter to see people’s opinions and keep up with politics. I usually use Reddit to figure out why my car is making that weird noise.

X users are more kind and supportive Reddit users are more rude and aggressive I’m curious how does a platform shape people’s mindset so differently?

@Sierra_rak I agree for the most part. But I think the people who wish we could achieve the same things with a more fair system get conflated with the people who shout ‘death to all billionaires’

People hate billionaires but somehow think civilization, electricity, global infrastructure, smartphones, aerospace, modern medicine, and the internet could’ve been built from cozy little mom-and-pop shops. Scale requires scale. You do not get massive systems, coordination, innovation, manufacturing, logistics, and technological acceleration without enormous concentrations of capital, labor, and ambition.

@kn_owled_ge High school student here. I would NEVER use AI. Its way easier to just put in minimum effort and pass with a D average.

Teaching in the age of LLMs: I failed 4 students, for the first time ever. I also gave more A+'s than ever before. In previous years, students realized after the first or second HW that they weren't in Kansas anymore and needed to work hard. No more. Just solve it with LLMs. But then the midterm arrives, and they can answer 0 of 40 questions. Do they reform their ways? Nah, they just decide to "give up" on class, assuming they'll get a B, or a C, or whatever, because they submitted HW and got decent grades on those. And never before have they encountered a professor who will dare fail them. The flip side is that the most "agentic" students now have the world's best tutor at their disposal. They deeply understand the material and aced my (intentionally very difficult) exams. As if we live in "The Diamond Age". Inequality galore. From my vantage point, "the permanent underclass" appears to be about agency, not assets.

@stanlee0nX I’ve become twice as productive since I started using AI. Granted, double of zero is still zero.

From your experience, do you work less, more or evenly after using AI?

@wordgrammer In areas outside your expertise, you don’t know enough to know what you don’t know, y’know?

Despite 3 years of progress, AI is still worse than me at stuff I understand, but unfathomably brilliant outside my area of expertise. Wonder why this is

@jonathandoomer I agree, but It’s how it’s used. It CAN be used to just create a picture and that wouldn’t be art. But it can help visualizing art or making storyboards, or helping to iterate. It’s different in that it’s not a tool by default per se. but can absolutely be used as one.

People say generative AI is “just another tool.” But a camera is a tool. A paintbrush is a tool. A synthesizer is a tool. Those things still require taste. Judgment. Restraint. Intention. Typing “sad cinematic astronaut in the rain” into a black box that was trained on 200 million stolen images is something different entirely. And you can tell deep down people know this, because nobody talks about these generators with the same reverence they talk about actual artists. Nobody hangs an AI image on the wall and says: “This changed the way I see the world.” They talk about it the way they talk about a microwave. Convenient. Fast. Impressive for what it is. But spiritually weightless. That’s why the internet feels so haunted now. We filled it with imagery detached from human experience. A trillion polished fragments with nothing behind the eyes.

@NTFabiano I don’t need to read all that. I’m smart enough to get the gist.

Feeling stupid is a crucial part of science. It means you're pushing into the unknown where real discoveries happen.

@AishwaryaDevv I don’t know a lick of code and even whining to an AI to fix a bug I’m sure is simple but I have no idea why gets a little tedious.

Am I the only one getting vibe coding fatigue? Building landing pages in 30 seconds was fun, but maintaining a complex codebase where half the logic was “vibed” into existence is an absolute headache. Feels like we traded 1 hour of typing for 5 hours of architectural debugging later. I’ve started manually writing core logic again so I actually know where the technical debt is hiding. Is anyone successfully managing large production projects with AI agents, or are we all just building disposable software?
