  1. Lmao.

  2. They were "troubleshooting a basic web app" - this is something you'd hear from someone learning how to program, not someone who runs a youtube channel trying to make a brand from programming.

  3. In doing so, they needed to "clear their cache" by which they mean... their browser cache? webserver cache? idk but something that shouldn't be so difficult that you'd delegate to an LLM (nor something an LLM should get so horribly wrong).

  4. All that aside, I can see that being some wide eyed naïve moron would let you believe in the magic for a little bit. Truly, I've been there. What gets me is how they trail off their reddit thread quoting what appears to be verbatim LLM marketing output about how they were the catalyst for Google putting guardrails on the rm -rf generator which they're not even paying for. Google really cares about you, my sweet special sunbeam.

Fuck me, AI slop coders are finding out in real time.

I don't understand this desire these people have to make the "AI" do everything. Are they an adult baby and hate the idea of ever needing to do anything themselves? Do they just want to sit around crying and shtting themselves all day while the AI lives their life for them?

Even if I did honestly believe that the magic word machine was capable of doing anything I ask it to, I still wouldn't want it to just do everything for me like these people seem to want it to. Do they not feel powerless and useless when they get the AI to do something instead of learning how to do it themselves?

[sigh] when will they invent an AI that can fuck your wife for you?

How much of it is organic desire from people and how much of it is imposed desire from various corporate LLM research groups (translation: executive wants it)?

i wish i had a little assistant virtual intelligence type thing to make phone calls for me, keep me organized and on task but i would never trust any of this shit

in our hypothetical world socialist government there will be agents available for neuroatypical people that want them until many of the stressors of capitalist society finally relieve pressure from us

but i think some of these people are hoping they can do grifts, cons, scams at transophonic speeds. in the end just like the corps it's that they demand free labor

for real, the OpenClaw ("the AI that actually does things") home page cites the following as standout use cases:

"Clears your inbox, sends emails, manages your calendar, checks you in for flights."

Come the fuck on, this is what we're burning down the world for? (And then it turns out that it can't even do that shit. Meta Security Researcher's AI Agent Accidentally Deleted Her Emails)

Even if I were flying so much that checking in were some kind of actual burden - and in this fantasy scenario I didn't have a real life assistant who would do it for me - I wouldn't trust the chatbot to do it without accidentally putting me on the terror watchlist somehow.

It’s a combination of shiny new toy, and thus exploring the limitations. And then the occasional discovery of a good workflow. I’ve used it to clean up my folder structure, make powerpoint presentations, and synthesize notes from my hypothesi.s/obsidian vault.

But since these toys are made by American SWE, they just do “caveat emptor” and move on.
