it’s so funny seeing people defend a vibe-coded webapp that would not take at all very long to make without an llm by saying “this couldn’t possibly exist without vibe-coding!” skill issue i guess! i promise you people made silly free webapps for fun before 2023

techno-optimists befuddled by declining popular support for “the robot that tells you to kill yourself”, “the pervert glasses“, and “the camera network that stalks you”

the thing i just dont get about ai is the way everyone just accepts its shittiness these restaurant ads, the food looks like diarrhea and its not even an accurate depiction of what you serve. you would fire an actual ad firm staffed with humans if this is what they came back with

My experience is of every American COVID-19 mitigation effort being obviously insufficient, and ended far too soon. To see people now argue that they somehow were too much, going too far? Not anti-vax or MAGA people, but folks just out here on Bluesky? It staggers me.

I am urging liberals to please fucking stop using AI to make political images. I know you don't actually care, but it is a fascist tool that only serves to benefit fascism.

It's bizarre how repeatedly people keep hijacking the conversation about Accessibility away from things like closed captioning, colorblindness support, alt-text for screen-readers, etc, to "Games should be easier to play, books should be easier to read, and shows should be simple to understand"

burning twelve dollars of shale gas (probably more given how heavily subsidised these things are right now) in a residential memphis neighbourhood for two lines of CSS is not something i would personally describe as “fascinating”

Simon spends $12 bucks worth of tokens to remove an unwanted scroll bar from a textarea. Any front-end dev could’ve figured this out in seconds by simply looking at the screenshot. simonwillison.net/2026/Jun/11/...

Anyway, for the dozenth time: I’ve seen a lot. I believe our struggles are intersectional & shared regardless of if they manifest differently or hit with varying degrees of severity. I align with the oppressed even if they aren’t philosophically or intellectually where I’m at. Simple as for me.

I don't like the AI memes regardless of who uses them and how because intentionally or unintentionally when you generate that stuff, due to the locations of data centers, what you are engaging in anti-Blackness and actively harming southern Black people who go through & have been through enough.

"should we really resort to playing dirty to defeat the nazis i–" yes. kick em in the fucking balls. what kind of question is that. grow the fuck up
