Of all the cuntish things you can do as a web developer (and believe me, there are too many to count), putting your fucking cookie notice under what appears to be an “Accessibility Settings” popup has to take the cake.
Types of AI phrasing that I hate (and that make it easy to spot AI-generated text):
1. "Who does what", "This or that", "Four things to do" - what, this, that, those, who, what; this really gets on my nerves because it sounds clumsy and foolish. It is at its worst when you see it on another page or slide and have completely lost context.
2. "Same thing", "Same that" - AI loves to repeat the word "same" a lot. Same what? If I skim or move to another page, I have no idea what is being discussed.
3. Pointless negations, such as "This, not that" or "It's light, not dark", "One feature, not many" - no shit, Sherlock?
4. Overly dramatic "movie trailer" language, like "ONE MAN, ONE GUN, ONE SURVIVAL", I see this a lot in official texts.
5. Excessive corporate jargon
I think too that many texts are clearly LLM blaablaa, but still, just for shits and giggles, I've put some of my jobs place's managers' announcements etc. (without any sensitive details), to different AI detectors, and they are always getting 100% LLM grading.
I'm not saying that this one is overly clingy, but let's say we're working on the idea of giving personal space.

@gedankenstuecke What's the problem? He's sharing his ENTIRE personal space with you. :)
2 hours spent attempting to reproduce a security report that at first looked important, but turned out to be untrue. An incorrect API request in the report, and then when I got a correct one working, the supposed vulnerability didn't exist.
LLMs and CVE fishing expeditions can FUCK OFF

ça m'a toujours fait marrer ce concept de modèle LLM "opensource".
Quand vous avez un Logiciel Libre, vous pouvez l'ouvrir pour en *comprendre* le fonctionnement et le *modifier*.
Dans un modèle LLM, personne n'est capable de dire comment est encodé une pomme. Et encore moins le modifier. Vous avez juste une liste de milliards de paramètres que personne ne peut comprendre ou modifier.
C'est comme si je vous filais un binaire en vous disant "C'est opensource !" 🤡
@benzogaga33
"Open source" ou "open weights".
Dans les deux cas, le sens semble dériver vers "droits de libre utilisation".

Hey! I just signed this petition and thought you’d want to see it.
Big Tech is building hundreds of massive data centres that swallow as much power as millions of homes and guzzle huge amounts of water - risking higher energy bills for all of us.
I’ve just signed Foxglove’s petition demanding basic rules: 100% clean power, no water waste, and giving communities a say before anything gets built. It takes 30 seconds to sign - can you add your name now?

Great idea: A web page that simply shows you the info your browser shares about you and your system whenever you open a web page.

UPDATE. If you use Chrome, compare the results from a regular window and an incognito window. You might be surprised how little they differ.
@petersuber i am pretty sure, that the "incognito" part references what people can see, when they access your browser, not what servers see...

Coding agents reduce software development to a simple matter of:
* specifying requirements
* verifying correctness and quality
* maintaining and operating software you didn't write
As we all know, those have always been the easiest, most well-understood parts of the craft, so everything is fine!
