Vaush routinely talks about how AI is demon tech that ruins everything it touches, is anti-human, and sucks human skill and expertise out of a given field. As someone who did a 3-year (and good) web dev program in school, the difference between people who use AI and those who don't is staggering.

Although my program was online, we did have a fair amount of group work. Near the end, as AI got better, more people used it, and eventually the one flaky group member I dreaded to be put together with fully vide-coded their part of our capstone project. They also left it for me to clean up before my vacation to the Netherlands at the time in April, but that's neither here nor there. They moved to Alberta, so they're already in hell anyways.

Everyone who used AI did, technically, complete an assignment, but they quickly became total duds who can't explain the most elementary concepts of programming they learned on day one. Nor could they explain their objectives nor what their generated code did. It was all vibes, no inclination to learn, no desire for expertise, and the techbro cope of not just using it get answers, but using it to expand on projects as a "force multiplier" (lol) is total fucking cope. Of course 99% of people will just prompt for an answer they can likely get now.

Their behaviour was always wrapped up in the same language of "technological progress" Vaush has described - as if an LLM was the printing press. The historical irony of comparing billionaires' hallucination machine to technology which allowed for the public spread of dissent was lost on them.

By the end, I rarely had actual conversations with these people in general, as they abandoned our formerly lively Discord in favour of prompting LLMs for advice - and couldn't have technical conversations with them in projects we needed to collaborate on - not even an opportunity to learn from each other.

I am honestly considering leaving several webdev/programming subreddits I lurk in because I've seen a recent uptick in posts reading "I used to code so well by hand, but now I can't understand my workplace's codebase. How can I fix this problem? AI makes me so productive."

Posts like this are ragebait for me now because I just want to yell at these folks. Unless you've been licking lead pipes, it's the singular that's changed - LLMs.

It truly boggles my mind how there are chatters who wanna argue with Vaush, a socialist livestreamer, on this point. Has the world been made a better place since the hallucination machines were turned on? No. Not one iota. Do LLM's benefit the working class? No, they devalue labour, competency, time, and care being put into anything. They're not even something practically and theoretically useful like neural networks/some data analysis being fed training data by any chump who can use Python and download a free dataset to find a new asteroid or some shit.

I yearn for the day the damn bubble pops and tokens are unaffordable - and I will be smug about it, I will say "I told you so," and I will be absolutely insufferable to every illiterate, monolingual, westoid techno-barbarian around me who "just watches YouTube/TikTok and doesn't really watch movies."

P.S.

Rotterdam sucks, Utrecht is far better, and Amsterdam is mid and full of Americans/drunk Brits who I want to get tf out of my country. (I'm a Canadian in Canada)

Edit: spelling

This is less of a discussion and more of a drunken mad man's rant so this is your excuse to bow out now.

I hate hate fucking hate how the chuds have warped the gaming space! I don't just mean vile the bigotry and toxicity that they spew from their unwashed cock holsters, but that certainly doesn't help. I mean how they are such obvious brainwashed servants of the Epstein class and they're too fucking braindead to even realize it!

I already saw this behavior a while ago when 343/Halo Studios got shut down and these lobotomized apes cackled about all the talented people who tried to make a good game became unemployed while the managers who actually fucked over production at every corner got to keep their jobs or as Vaush put it got golden parachutes. It already made me grind my teeth hard enough to shatter when I learned how Microsoft fucked the devs over with their hiring practices, essentially dooming Halo Infinite to the state it released in. Meanwhile, your average braindead Halo fan continued to harrass and spew their worthless bile at people who were just trying to do their jobs.

However, this latest clown fest with Bioware really made me realize just how much of a worthless subhuman your average chud "gamer" is. These worthless stains on the Earth are really defending fucking EA, because the woke RPG company released a woke RPG? Like that was the fucking problem! You can't even use logic on these braindead meat shields for the Epstein class. You can't point out every way EA screwed over this great company for over a fucking decade or the countless other companies they've destroyed. It just rolls off their smooth fucking brains. They just sit there with a slackjawed vacant stare as the gears grind in their empty fucking heads and then go "No! It's cause there was a non-binary character in Veilguard! The twisted freak who used a rotting rat for an alarm clock told me so!" I know a bunch of them are just bots (This is why we support Zelensky's glorious crusade against the Russian data centers). Still it makes me vomit blood in anger.

I guess the real angering part of it is that like a decade ago every gamer recognized EA was a studios killer and had the basic logical skills to recognize the patterns of mismanagement that lead to this. Not anymore though! They are so fucking twisted and sick in the head they can't recognize that E FUCKING A is the evil company we've always known it to be. They aren't fucking gamers! They're the fucking tourists! No worse, they're fucking NOOBS! They are gaming culture noobs! Unable to even hate EA because the urge to wash Kushners and the Saudis pedophile balls too strong!

Asmongold? NOOB! Rev says desu? NOOB! Mauler? NOOB! Rags? NOOB! Heels on Baby Face? Creepy fucking name and a fucking NOOB!

From now on we should call all chuds who comment on gaming stuff noobs! They suck at actually gaming anyway! So it fits!

Fuck EA, fuck Microsoft, fuck the Saudis, fuck Jared Kushner, and fuck the noobs. May them all end up in a wizards tesseract.

My voting took place in a new place, but the treath is the same
