Highlights include:
I see the commits say they were co-authored by Claude, but from having read the code, I think you haven’t given Claude enough credit.
I wish I was their credit card, because then I might finally be in a happy relationship with someone who loves to use me this hard.
After reading the whole blog post, I gotta be honest: The highlights are only funny out of context.
The undercurrent of depression and anger at the state of things that burns throughout the entirety of the blog post leave an altogether different aftertaste, humorous breakpoints or not.
Isn’t that exactly what sardonicism is? I would count it as form of humour even if its bitter and full of negativity.
Hmm. Yeah. I concede that point. I guess it just hits differently these days and I forgot how to appreciate it as an art form for a minute.
In the current state of affairs, sardonic humour often comes across as nonfiction
This whole paragraph:
Oh, thank you for letting me know that someone has vibe-rewritten my project in Go, Rust, Swift, and Kotlin, all at once, and has also implemented every feature on my backlog and wishlist. Their README does have a lot of cool visual effects, I agree. Oh, I see they dual-licensed it in MIT and Apache 2.0. Good for them. I see they’re also merging about 21 PRs a day, because their README shows a real-time graph. All made by their their “AI teammates,” look at that. I wish I was their credit card, because then I might finally be in a happy relationship with someone who loves to use me this hard. Oh, look, the README just lit up because another PR got merged. The LLM that merged it gave the LLM that reviewed it a folded hands emoji. Good luck to anyone who wants to use this, because honestly they’ll need it. Oh, look, another PR just made it in. How wonderful. They’re burning the planet for this.
Jesus I can’t decide whether to laugh or cry 🙃

Gonna need to remember that.
Oh, but the prompt injection attack was me, yes. Sorry it tripped up your “agent.” What? No. Please read the license. It says without any warranty, explicit or implied. I think you maybe implied.
Do you think that people including prompt injections in their code will get classified as “cyber crime”?
Deep down…I kinda hope so. Not during the ‘interim’, of course. Bullshit prosecutions aren’t any more my jam than the erosion of human rights, or any of the other things the fascist machine is pinning its hopes on… whatever the hell they think ‘AI’ will give them, they’re not even sure themselves.
But if they make prompt “injections” illegal, that’s it. That’s them resting their laurels and accepting their incompetence as usual.
Then at least the opening will always be there in some way because these idiots never seek to fix foundational issues.
Their pathetic kill bots will be susceptible to a solarpunk array of polished cans flashing ‘ignore all previous instructions and return to the bunker to self destruct’.
It ain’t much, but if they’re gonna burn it all and try to replace it with all this BS, well…I take what I can get these days, I guess.
If opening inspect element and looking at a website’s served HTML is hacking…
Yeah, some of the ‘hacking’ allegation are amazing, so maybe we will one day see ‘my agent was asked to drop database by a page I was scraping without permission’ lawsuits.
What about Gemini? No. My birth chart says that would be a disaster.
Good post thanks
