  • it’s bursting now. within the past few months to a year I’ve made more money switching my focus from freelance/consultion dev work to, essentially, a freelance digital janitor targeting AI. I get clients that desperately need to fix the slop they’ve produced and have me code review it to see how practical that is (9 times out of 10, it isn’t.)

    The calls/emails I’m getting from potential new clients are becoming more frequent on a weekly basis. People are panicking. And I know when it finally does finish bursting that it’s going to be hell out there. So since I’m now making more money than ever I’m saving AS MUCH as possible because I hope to come out of this shit on the other side and retire.

    To other devs potentially reading this, Get good at code reviewing and start leveraging that. it’s a skill that IS in demand right now and will be for awhile. Just the tech bros on linkedin are unwilling to admit it.








  • If I were to guess their utilization of AI to deal out bans has come back to bite them in the ass. Anything that remotely suggest protesting for example will result in an automatic ban. Anything that could potentially go against the grain of ad revenue will result in a ban. Moderators fearing for their “job” are also way more heavy handed and they were previously.

    Thus they’re gradually killing off their userbase and instead what you’ll find are bots and agenda pushing accounts in their place.


  • of course it’s also ABC. ABC could have said “lol get fucked” but they bent the knee. And keep in mind ABC is owned by Disney who owns ESPN who JUST made a deal with notorious right-wing “trump buddy, buddy” company TKO to nickle and dime people to watch WWE shows. TKO the same company that is going to put on a UFC event on the damn White House lawn. TKO the same company that decided to cancel Wrestlemania in New Orleans in favor of take MORE blood money from Saudi Arabia and having it there instead.

    They all connect with each other so saying one company isn’t to blame and another one is, is bullshit and you know it. ABC is as much to blame as Sinclair. At the end of the day they all bow to dear leader.





  • as someone what has been online since '96…don’t these kids realize we were all joking? evidently not. They take it seriously when “back in my day” we would have ridiculed them for it. I mean I’m old enough to see the rise and fall of 4chan, it’s dead now but at it’s peak it was dumb troll comics and edgelord antics. Then all of sudden zoomers decided that our shitposts were things to model their lives around.

    It’s like when I was a kid and we had convinced my friends little brother that if he held a battery on his tongue for long enough he could get mutant powers. like no dude, you’re not getting power and confidence, you just look like an idiot with a battery on his tongue.
