Hence “adjacent”. This is quite clearly criticism of at least one key aspect of capitalism:

I think this community exists precisely because we have experience with AI.

Normalize having a vocabulary. Not every Internet post needs to follow an established language pattern

The implication being shaming isn’t already normalized…?

Lotta pretending not to get the point to justify a phobia, but you do you.

People who think South Park ruined anything or that the creators are politically shitty do not get it and probably haven’t watched much of it. Imo to think they are politically shitty, it takes being a purity tester type who is looking for secret evil everywhere. The type who is not satisfied with the evil people being honest about their beliefs, they know the truth: most people who claim to have leftist views are actually secretly evil conservatives. This is a type of person I will never get along with.

Basically: yes.

Sad this is not upvoted 100 times.

I think you nailed it. You can take what you want from their episodes oftentimes, they are not trying to convince anyone of anything but how stupid some people and things are from at least one perspective. That’s it. When people act like they’re anti leftist or something like that, they’ve 100% missed what was being done.

No to all of this.

Do you watch it? I definitely think sometimes they are making valid and salient points and sometimes those points touch on things at least adjacent to socialism.

Haha sure I guess. I think before package managers people used a hodge podge of manual systems to manage dependencies and it sucked. Your way sounds even worse tbh

Pretty accurate. Just missing “who else is here because they heard this [obscure song] on [TV show or movie]?!”

Also the guy on the lower left has a weird LLM look to me.

It’s “irony” to post something in a related community which supports the general thesis of said community…?

I saw an article yesterday about reading being at record lows, especially reading for pleasure. Less than 50% of Americans said they read a book of any kind in 2025 iirc.

If AI were banned I’d just go back to not being pressured into using something that is a mixed bag in terms of usefulness. Yesterday I used an LLM to try to clean up some tech debt in a codebase. The result is so many code changes that it feels like I should vet what strategies it employed and then once confirmed they are good strategies, make the changes myself in a cleaner and more surgical way. Which wouldn’t use a fuckton of electricity like the LLM did. The way the LLM did things edited over 100 files and added tons of comments that won’t matter 3 weeks from now. Reviewing all that feels like more work than if I did it myself. I guess I could just blindly trust it if I was an idiot. In the end it may have taught me a couple of things but it’s unclear if this is worth it.

Well the way you expressed your preference sounds like you don’t accept time sensitivity as a valid thing.

Erm wat

So then you know why I said it.
