A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

Screenshot from May 16 2025 Nostr user Alex Gleason showing the AI added code to his app publishing his crypto wallets private key, which grants full access to the money in the wallet, via what looks like the JSON metadata of a Nostr message. It's followed by comments thanking him for the cryoto money and sarcastically asking him if he has tried learning programming.

I’m getting annoyed with how this community is becoming an echo chamber.

Half of these posts are just people not using a tool wisely.

If this com had existed in the early nineties or 2000, you could have easily created similar content based on first time computer users or first time internetters.

“Computer genius found a way to clean up harddrive space by deleting all hidden files, now computers won’t start”

It’s this constant echo chamber creation that makes stuff like 45 becoming 47 possible.

Come on, the AI wrote code that published his wallet key and then he straight up tweeted it in a screenshot, it's objectively funny/harrowing.

Also the thing with AI tooling isn't so much that it isn't used wisely as it is that you might get several constructive and helpful outputs followed by a very convincingly correct looking one that is in fact utterly catastrophic.
