Is Claude Mythos “Terrifying”? (According to Experts: No.) YouTube video by Cal Newport

Video debunking "Mythos" hysteria. "We have to assume if their mouths are moving, they're probably exaggerating or making something up." www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-8s...

It's speculation based on how much their engineering team has talked / bragged about using AI. So it's confirmed that they are using it but the causal relationship between that fact and the outages can't be easily proven

Love this! Scapegoating AI art on disablility is trash, people with no hands paint with their feet. Artists through history are disabled! I'm one & tons of my homies. And bad art is great! People are allowed to make bad art. I wanna see every shitty amateur poem written for National Poetry Month!

Boards of Canada Release First New Song in 13 Years Boards of Canada have reemerged to offer "Tape 05," the electronic duo's first new song in 13 years.

consequence.net/2026/04/boar... you have no idea how badly I need this album in my life right now 😭

They can be hardware or software. It's confusing.

Vibe coding is a symptom of short term thinking which in the long term leads to outages

This is the problem right here. I get a prompt to "create a passkey" as if I'm supposed to know wtf that means.

Wow I had seen some of the others but somehow I missed that awful post. What a clown

When vibe coders try to convince you that AI coding tools make them more efficient, just think about these outages. Advocating for vibe coding is advocating for taking shortcuts. People who take shortcuts tend to deliver poor results. These are poor results delivered by vibe coders.

Why doesn't the very intelligent Bluesky developer team simply ask Claude to fix the server problem

New BOC incoming?! This is not a drill

But Paul is having so much fun watching bad code write itself. You don't want to deprive him of that, do you?

If Bluesky engineers insist on crediting their successes to “AI” while praising vibe-coding, it’s only reasonable for the rest of us to blame their failures on “AI” and vibe-coding as well.

best part was the status page though

"bsky users blame every problem on vibe coding"

yeah, dude. if you got a dog to code this website i wouldn't be wasting time asking which of you was the source of each new bug

You don't have to be pro-Apple to acknowledge that their competition is asleep at the wheel

NEW TMBG ALERT

*rings the bell*

Especially for vegetarians

AI is profoundly unpopular. A recent NBC News poll found that among 18-34 year-olds, AI's net favorability rating is -44. *Negative 44*. Those are basically serial killer numbers. It's not much better among women 18-49. (Men over 50 and upper class are the only ones who like AI, and just barely.)
