They'll claim that because someone is LGBTQ+, their birth certificate is fraudulent and that counts as enough evidence for denaturalization.

Due to cost cutting, norovirus decided to only do the bare minimum.

I doubt that. New services that host the open models are cropping up all the time. They're like VPS hosting providers (in fact, existing VPS hosts will soon break out into that space too).

It's not like Big AI has some huge advantage over the open source models. In fact, for images they're a little bit behind!

The FOSS coding models are getting pretty fantastic and they get better all the time. It seems like once a month a new, free model comes out that eclipses the previous generation once a month.

The mistakes it makes depends on the model and the language. GPT5 models can make horrific mistakes though where it randomly removes huge swaths of code for no reason. Every time it happens I'm like, "what the actual fuck?" Undoing the last change and trying usually fixes it though 🀷

They all make horrific security mistakes quite often. Though, that's probably because they're trained on human code that is *also" chock full of security mistakes (former security consultant, so I'm super biased on that front haha).

Schrodinger's AI: It is both useless shit that can only generate "slop" while at the same time being so effective, it is the reason behind 50,000 layoffs/going to take everyone's jobs.

You want to see someone using say, VS Code to write something using say, Claude Code?

There's probably a thousand videos of that.

More interesting: I watched someone who was super cheap trying to use multiple AIs to code a project because he kept running out of free credits. Every now and again he'd switch accounts and use up those free credits.

That was an amazing dance, let me tell ya! Glorious!

I asked him which one he'd pay for if he had unlimited money and he said Claude Code. He has the $20/month plan but only uses it in special situations because he'll run out of credits too fast. $20 really doesn't get you much with Anthropic 🀷

That inspired me to try out all the code assist AIs and their respective plugins/CLI tools. He's right: Claude Code was the best by a HUGE margin.

Gemini 3.0 is supposed to be nearly as good but I haven't tried it yet so I dunno.

Now that I've said all that: I am severely disappointed in this article because it doesn't say which AI models were used. In fact, the study authors don't even know what AI models were used. So it's 430 pull requests of random origin, made at some point in 2025.

For all we know, half of those could've been made with the Copilot gpt5-mini that everyone gets for free when they install the Copilot extension in VS Code.

The Trump administration is really trying for more Charlie Kirk-style Leopards Eating Faces moments with this one.

I first heard it when I was a kid but didn't truly understand it until 9/11. The more time goes on, the more our shitty timeline proves it to be true.

Blaming the technology is useless and unhelpful. It's like blaming Photoshop for letting people remove their faces from obvious CSAM.

Kids need to be taught about this stuff! Bitching and trying to regulate the tech is a pointless waste of time. Teaching children how to deal with it is the only realistic thing that can be done.
