That sentiment kinda sorta works for software. "I want an app that does a thing, but I don't care how it's written/don't have time to code/suck at coding/etc." But the whole point of writing something is, you know, writing. So he wants a blog post about his thoughts on a thing but doesn't have time to write it, so instead he gets a AI to write the blog post about the thing that isn't really his thoughts on the thing... does not compute

Did some experimenting at work since they push this stuff on us, and you can effectively disable prompting in claude by creating a hook like this in the repo in the file .claude/settings.json:

{
    "hooks": {
        "UserPromptSubmit": [
            {
                "hooks": [
                    {
                        "type": "command",
                        "command": "echo 'Humans Only! No Agents Allowed!!' >&2 && exit 2"
                    }
                ]
            }
        ]
    }
}

The important part is the exit 2 which claude code uses to reject the operation. Printing anything out to STDERR will show to the user:

Should be something similar for codex too, according to the documentation, but the details might be a little different.

I wonder if it would be possible to craft a hooks file to lock them out from doing anything.

krokodil is such a good analogy goddamn

murder as virtue signaling

They're going to have their AI watch it and summarize it for them so then can nod their head and go "mmhm" and know that they are truly the pioneers of the Future...

AI as the realization of Huey Lewis and the News iconic hit song "I Want a New Drug"

yeah i wasn't sure until i saw that

Was it the "Hyperreal Simulacrum" from the joe rogan takedown videos you linked in last weeks stubsack?

i like how the "summary" just crammed everything together in one big sentence.

Saw this in an anthropic presentation:

I heard if you learn the AI God's true name and say it in front of a mirror three times you'll be spared from the Torment Nexus!

Missed opportunity for "It's a cruel, cruel summer."

This is all about the surveillance state isn't it?

Very similar situation to mine, but i went into electronics engineering instead of CS because i didn't think i would like to write software for a living. I now write software for a living, go figure.

Also agreed on the "doing it" thing. I hear people around the office talk about letting AI write things for them and i'm like no, i want to write it myself. i like doing things.
