I'm just a random weeb. I love anime, dubstep, science, philosophy, logic and tech all along.

PS: English isn't my native language, so sorry if I mispell some things, please kindly point it to me.

  • I'm not talking about that... I agree that you can't sell alcohol, or cigars, or anything like tat, to children.

    But there's a difference between that and online content.

    I didn't said age gating was bad in alll contexts, but that age gating information, media and content is bad.

  • No, "not all stuff is for kids" means "kids should never watch this", and what I'm saying is "kids can see this with the appropiate tutoring and supervision", these are two really distinct things.

  • Hell naw, that's an arbitrary take. There's no "child things" or "adult things", nor "male things" or "female things", just things, and the "male"/"female"/"child"/"adult" is an arbitary tag we put on them.

    And even if there are some things that aren't so good for the child to see, the only correct way to address that is educating them, guiding them, listening to them and, over all, treating them as humans, the "we need to block this to children" is totally adultist.

  • That "it's not going away" attitude is the fucking problem...

    We should fucking fight it, either by good or by bad, because that defeatism is what they want, they want us to think that TINA, then, little by little, force ourselves to do things that at first would seem unacceptable to us.

  • That's fucking tivoization

  • Age gating is bad itself.

  • Don't forget that's "macOS inspired".

    Meanwhile actually good distros are drowning at the bottom of the ocean.

  • Yeah, that's true

  • Part 2:

    Productivity Illusion (perception vs reality)

    Churn, Replacement & Survival

    Production Impact & Outages

    Deskilling

    • Brains show less activity when completing tasks with LLMs compared to completing tasks with search or completing tasks without digital help.
    • Developers who use early-2025 LLMs reported higher subjective performance, but were measured to have lower objective performance. This gap between subjective and objective performance was considered notable.
    • In an Anthropic study, learners using LLMs demonstrated lower learning rates on average compared to learners not using LLMs.
    • A recent study uses the term "cognitive surrender" to describe the way humans tend to offload key critical thinking skills onto LLMs, even when the output is wrong.
    • A paper entitled "AI Assistance Reduces Persistence and Hurts Independent Performance" from April 2026 by academics from MIT, Oxford, UCLA, and Carnegie Mellon showed alarming evidence that performing a variety of tasks with the help of AI for only 10 minutes causes "inpaired unassisted performance and reduced persistence". The researchers noted that "although AI assistance improves performance in the short-term, people perform significantly worse without AI and are more likely to give up"; they also pointed out that "these findings are particularly concerning because persistence is foundational to skill acquisition and is one of the strongest predictors of long-term learning".
  • Part 1:

    Code Quality (defects, bugs, logic)

    Security & Vulnerabilities

  • Well, it's not that I'm telling another thing than the truth.

    You're attacking something totally unrelated and that I've never mentioned ("Linux 2.0") because you simply can't deny that LLM are bug-making machinegunss.

    Literature on that in my response.

  • If you don't have anything better to say than an ad hominem fallacy and a red herring fallacy, then you're totally discrediting yourself.

  • Although I'd be the one suggesting the use of Rust in everything.

    Rust goes brrr

  • Although that's basically true...

  • No, pragmatically speaking, LLMs and in general AI will only make code worse each day.

  • LLMs are a great tool for create bugs *

    Fuck Linus.

  • No, he gets them for being wrong.

    As another person stated in another comment, that's a false equivalence fallacy, but not only that, it's a false dilemma fallacy, and a strawman fallacy.

  • LLM code can cause deaths (i.e. in hospital software), or otherwise great human or material loses (i.e., bank software or a shelter's software), or even cultural loses (it actually does them right now, but you can also think about i.e. a museum software).

  • They can only make fallacies to defend themselves.
