We don’t need AI to “be creative” for us; we need a world in which there is time and space to wonder, joke and play with words. To fuck around with color and texture, to experiment with an intriguing sound, without the need to immediately convert process and artifact into engagement to stay solvent.

So I'm 90% sure a project my work inherited from a larger shop was vibe coded with AI...
There's a lot of bad code, I've shared quite a bit, but what really got me convinced is the absurd amount of component nesting between the root and the content of the page, BEHOLD:

Feels good man. Added browsersync to get automatic reload on changes 🤤
Why isn't that working? Oh, I'll just look in the dev tools...

So many web sites with _amazing content_ hide it in stupid interactive widgets that look nice, but wreak havoc on accessibility, usability, & findability/SEO.
Writing good information and answers for hundreds of people with serious problems, then flushing it down the toilet for some zazz.

While reporting this, we came across this ProPublica story from 2019 about a Border Patrol Facebook group.
Hardly any differences between this and other cop pages we've reported on. It's all the same dehumanization and racism, just different targets (w/ Chicago cops—usually it's Black people).

Tesla's Supervised Robotaxis in Austin have now reported 7 crashes to NHTSA in just 300,000 miles.
That's a crash every 43k miles, despite Tesla's "Robotaxis" having a supervisor who has their finger on a kill switch!

Behold, the horrors that a poor Tailwind/NextJS app has shown me. I am cursed with knowledge, and now you must be too.
This CSS is overridden by the time it is allowed to apply, I didn't even think about CSS nesting being able to do this, but here we are.

My dad (born in the US, now a retired veteran) told me about a time he would have been deported by the INS.
He worked at a restaurant in his younger years, INS basically deported everyone that worked in the back, it just happened to be a time he wasn't working.

LA, SF, blue states are the safest, healthiest, and subsidize the welfare states:
"Texans 17% more likely to be murdered than Californians
Texans 34% more likely to be raped
earn 13% less
and pay 3.8% more in taxes" (overall)
"Germans call this "a permanent bailout." We just call it "Missouri."

The issue isn’t that policing used to be racist & therefore it’s bad forever. It’s that creating a state sponsored paramilitary organization based on racist ideas abt work & property with no meaningful accountability or oversight shapes the society around it.

Tesla Full Self-Driving is not safer than a human driving manually.
- FSD failed a DMV driver's test
- HW3 has 20/60 vision (illegal)
- HW4 has 20/40 vision (bare legal minimum)
- FSD hallucinates like all AIs
It's no surprise Tesla can only defend FSD with fake safety stats.

One of the interesting things about "Generative AI is just as good as humans" discussions is that they often use what we consider *failure modes* in human learning and communication as the point of comparison for AIs.
Like, yes. Lots of humans write emails that are vacuous and content free!

Yes! Plenty of shipping enterprise code is basically stitched together out of StackOverflow answers. But before GenAI blew up, architects and devs regarded this as a significant problem that significantly dragged down orgs with tech debt, etc.

San Francisco has spent the last 3 years undoing any evidence-based drug policy in order to appease a very vocal group of uneducated but rich, fascist, right-wing losers (Sacks, Tan, Tandler, Shellenberger, etc).

San Francisco’s overdose deaths are rising — because
Mayor Daniel Lurie is repeating failed strategies.
The data is clear: Policing won’t solve a public health crisis.
Handcuffs make for good headlines, temporarily.
But these deaths are Lurie's legacy.

Why S.F.’s ‘remarkable’ drop in fatal drug overdoses has proved to be short-lived
After a promising decline in overdose deaths across the nation last year, fatalities are back on the rise in San Francisco. Experts say the supply chain for drugs has “reconfigured” itself.

Harm reduction works. But they want to portray addiction as a weakness and a sin because that makes them feel morally superior.
