How the podcast idiocracy works Tucker interviews Dave Smith Dave Smith interviews Theo Von Theo Von interviews Candace Candace interviews Dave Smith Joe Rogan interviews Theo Von Tucker interviews Theo Von Joe Rogan interviews Dave Smith Etc etc etc You get the idea

You don’t know anything, actually. We don’t have a draft. We have an all volunteer military.  Brave young men and women who join by choice.  And recruitment is way up under President Trump.  These are great patriots who mostly don’t listen to the likes of you or the cabal of Woke Reich American-haters and your Marxist-Islamist comrades.  I talk to them all the time. I meet them. They are fantastic heroes and patriots. They don’t want your handwringing and fake pity.  And they sure as hell don’t want your anti-American propaganda and trash talk. They want us to support them, especially now. In Israel they do have a draft. It’s a tiny country with a tiny population.  Virtually every family is involved. It’s a matter of life and death. The current Israeli ambassador to the United States lost his eldest son in one of the first battles in Gaza against the Hamas terrorists.  He was a commander of a unit who was killed in a booby trapped building as they sought to clear it out. The prime minister of Israel lost his older brother at Entebbe while leading a special forces unit to rescue Israelis who’d been kidnapped.  He was killed by a sniper.  The PM himself was wounded in battle years ago. But none of this will matter to you. Back to your bullsh*t.  And here come the bots.

Markdown is not the answer to your AI problems. It just can't be. We need to force AI through deterministic gates.

@burkeholland Omg I found the sane side of twitter

@teodorio I think the teams that will be most successful here are the ones asking the questions “why did my CEO try to vibe code this solution” and “how can I quickly execute on that vision using a combination of my expertise and AI” …

@teodorio Because it gives them the ability to “execute” on their vision without needing to rely on someone else’s (or a team of) interpretation of it.

Why has AI psychosis affected primarily high level executives? Is it because they have no easy way to empirically see the limitations?

Because it gives them the ability to “execute” on their vision without needing to rely on someone else’s (or a team of) interpretation of it.

1/ give everyone infinite tokens for coding at $200/mo 2/ wait for everyone to forget how to code 3/ raise price to $5,000/mo

Hot take: Vibe coding only works well if you already know how to code.

Don’t share this to your CTO with confirmed AI psychosis, they’ll fire you for not believing in the idol and kick you out of the cult. AI doesn’t make bad engineers good. AI doesn’t make dumb people smart. But, AI makes the dumb and bad think they’re not. Few are ready for the age that cometh.

9/10 use cases I hear from clients for agentic ai is a deterministic workflow

i put claude opus 4.6 and gpt 5.4 xhigh in a sandbox to see who could get lowest ppl on weight quantization of qwen3-4b and its clear to me now that reward hacking is nowhere near solved. the models do a great job of hiding it if you're in the loop. i suggest vibe coding less, you being in the loop more, learn the thing properly such that you can truly oversee and point out flaws. please dont be the verifier that the model is trying to game.

asking a vibecoder in the throes of AI psychosis what their 100k lines of code do

Real conversation a Wall Street guy just relayed to me. Partner: Claude is so good at analysis, we should get rid of our analysts Quant: no, I’ll show you how easily hallucinations happen Partner: pshh I have an easy workaround. *types “Claude, don’t hallucinate this time.”*

It bears repeating: „LLMs are inherently probabilistic, not deterministic. They try to guess the answer that sounds best, not the objectively correct one. And that’s not a problem to be fixed. It’s fundamental to how these models work.“

I think I'm at a breaking point with LLM text. ChatGPT's language has become the worst. I have full on AI fatigue. The honest truth Why this fixes it (short answer) Clean fix The safest bet Final honest take Best-case scenario (totally possible) My straight recommendation Bottom line (no sugarcoating) If you want, tell me […] and I’ll tell you what I’d personally do in your exact situation (not generic advice) Instead of asking “[…]”, think: 👉 “How do I maximize […]?” My honest recommendation (based on what you said) Let me be real with you upfront Here’s the pro move That’s actually a really good question—let’s sharpen it so it actually makes sense. Still real. Not peak performance That’s not just […]. That's […] I wrote the first 3 myself, but then I went to a chat and just kept copying more examples. People don't write like this. Are we doomed to have to read the same poor sentence structure and wording for the rest of our lives? It's even worse when I have to read other people's llm slop. Thank you, I can prompt an llm myself. Do I have to pay a person to operate the llm for me and write back slowly in human language?

You must understand that every tech executive has AI psychosis They’re puking out Claude-generated markdown files full of hallucinations asking if this means they can fire 500 people They’re turning Google sheets into the shittiest vibe-coded apps in the world

Why tf you advertising this to me on a Thursday 😡

Hey so Anthropic / Claude Code is blaming human error for their source map leak... wonder why they weren't using their PR Review tool they're charging $25 per pull request for people to use... or maybe they were and they have an incentive to blame humans over AI. anyway pretty bad PR from a bad PR lol
