Exactly. There is a way to do what they’re doing that isn’t so blatant and ham-fisted, but none of these fucking idiots have any tact or subtlety. Elon thought people would be cheering him on, instead we all want to see him, Trump, and all the other oligarchs hang all because he blew his load too early in the plan to destroy the government.
I really appreciate this take. It was able to capture something I couldn’t properly articulate. I am learning programming as a hobby and I am actively trying to avoid LLMs and other things I see as “cheating” because I want to actually learn how to program, not just copy and paste AI slop. Plus, the exercise of having that mental model of what you’re doing is what appeals to me since it’s forcing me to think in ways that I am not accustomed to thinking. That’s the appeal for me. Not the act of mashing a keyboard and hoping something usable comes out.
