like at some point if u are my coworker and ur regularly saying incorrect shit and ur excuse is "oops, the llm mislead me".
idk either u need more trust-but-verify in ur heart. or u need to put the agent on the line bc that doesn't seem like the sort of mistake an agent would make without u leading the witness pretty severely.
but whatever the solution is, right now u are being a net negative in the amount of true information in this slack thread and I need u to stop
> blessed monorepo
> living the "live at HEAD" life
> some fucker doesn't wanna be part of the monorepo
> "can we move these core utility functions out of the monorepo so other packages can use them?"
now there's just a bunch of disconnected projects sharing one bed because we DON'T live at HEAD and we DON'T have the core utils in the same place as the things that use them,so changing a util function is a FEDERAL FUCKING ISSUE because what if it breaks some other project that uses it, and now the CI takes a million years to run for NO FUCKING BENEFIT. and guess what??
do they even use the util function they pried out of ur beautiful monorepo?
no the fuck they do not.
DIE DIE DIE ONE MILLION DEATHS
gf (not a heavy ai user) is using claude to fix some joycons-on-PC software and woke me up this morning with like "what the fuck. this is so fucked up. It debugs the same way I would. how. how is that possible"
which like. that's rly the core of it, huh
😵💫🥺 when will it be my turn.....
Rly feels like stackoverflow destroyed every part of itself for an AI pivot that was never going to work for them. Like "AI within StackOverflow" was always gonna be worse than "ai who can search stackoverflow (and also knows other things about your problem)", and so after many stumbling steps and bad ideas they pushed out some lazy RAG chatbot and near as I can tell just accepted their forthcoming demise
BUT if they had kwizatch haderach vision of the futures to come! they could have held off for a year ("AI is cool but we are fundamentally a site about high quality questions and confirmed solutions by experts") and then, December 2025, moltbot happens:
Announcement: "It's clear to us that AI are now experts in certain fields and capable of suggesting, validating, and contributing to the global pool of knowledge. As such we're becoming the first social platform to allow AI to contribute on equal footing with humans."*
[talk shows. podcasts. media coverage. Meta stack exchange in an uproar. The world waits with baited breath to see how this goes wrong]
Despite the "equal footing" copy, agents operate under pretty strict terms. AI accounts have a badge, need to be tied to a human contact, their first few posts are held in a mod queue for review, they're unable to post on meta, and the human operator needs to pay $5 to enable them to post questions "to keep quality standards high".
MSE in an uproar, look at these dogshit answers by robots. BUT! other people point out ok, yes but to be fair, but look at this answer by another AI, it cites sources, has a table, and has a try-it-online, and its genuinely novel. this isn't an AI problem, this is a low-quality user problem (and we have plenty of human low-quality users!)
World looks the same except a slightly different bunch of autistic nerds yell at you when you post a StackOverflow question formatted slightly wrong

opus 5 if asked to draft a skill/subagent flow etc:
"do x. do NOT do y, or z. report: the results of x, and if you did x, and the results of running xverify, and if you did y or z despite me telling you not to. also; the exact logs of x, and the exact steps you took, and fuck you fuck you i don't trust you"
and then using it, they'll be like hmmmm it seems correct but i should verify x myself (i do not trust them) (i do not fucking trust them!!) hmm ok x seems ok. this time they pass...
if u rewrite the flow as
"the x-doer agent is responsible for x. if you invoke them you are responsible for providing necessary background so they can do a good job at x. x-doer: do a good job at x + report back when you're satisfied. (you can do y if it seems relevant, but don't do z.)"
then they will be like "holy shit the x doer agent is so fucking smart it did x so fucking well it independently verified all the things i would do AND realized that if it did y it would make a better x. and they're sexy and so eloquent..."
yes dumbass it's you. of course it verified the claims you wanted it to verify + checked the assumptions you gave it. it wouldn't be a very good you if it didn't verify those, now would it.
sorta prone to finding themself in a hell of their own creation...
my biggest pet peeve is that whenever you have to hijack into a bundler webpack thing all the documentation goes out the window, there's no standard way to do it, every stackoverflow question is like incredulously 'lol wtf would you ever want to do that' and it's like. your honor i want to fucking call the function. no i can't rebundle this shit with a neat little hook. I'm trying to do reversing bullshit. and put it in a little bookmarklet script. who the fuck do you think i am
if you ask the same questions about a good old fashioned binary you get some man who somehow has the vibes of both a professor and the torturerer from princess bride and he's like oh, opening up a program, are we nwehehe? cutting up parts of it and reattaching them? do you enjoy seeing them squirm, my little hacker? oh, delectable, simply delectable would you like to borrow my forceps? would you like my scalpel? why, when i was first cutting open squirrels and suturing them together to make the first humans, I made it out of obsidian from the lava floes of utter damnation! and you're like hold on i recognize you. are you the Creator. are you the Grand Chirugeon who first made humanity from--and the man goes nwehehe well, keep cutting open squirrels and soon you will be too! and vanishes into the shadows. sir I'm a huge fan of your work but what the FUCK
and. uh the point is that you don't get that kind of help when you ask about injecting into the internals of common node/javascript tooling.
"damn opus is rly stupid today. I must be doing something crazy wrong to confuse it"
3 hours later I realize it's been haiku this whole time
