Since I've left my last job, I've been thinking about the guy who used me as an alternative to ChatGPT whenever he hit a problem that he couldn't vibe code the answer out of at work.
He basically rotted his own brain by compulsively using ChatGPT in lieu of actually thinking with most any of the projects he was working on. Instead of taking the time to read through code in our framework, look up documentation, or do any sort of debugging, he instead just begged and pleaded with ChatGPT to try and get somewhere because "it was faster." Basically just really hammering his brain with the Programmer's Slot Machine. (@davidgerard wrote a really good article here about this specific gambling addiction angle here. I highly highly recommend reading/watching the corresponding YouTube video:
pivot-to-ai.com/2025/06/05/genโฆ )
Back to the story; When that wasn't working, which was a significant portion of the time, he'd then just turn and use me as a "more informed alternative" to ChatGPT.
I worked fully remote and the majority of our interactions was via a Teams chat. which apparently crossed some wires in his monkey brain and made him start just... Basically verbally barraging me like he would with the company ChatGPT instance. No thoughts at all, just an immediate process of:
- Ask vague question
- Get guess for an answer with a request for more details
- Try applying the guess blindly without thinking if it's applicable at all
- Have it not work and just report back that it didn't work.
- No follow-up details, no further explanation of what was going on or what he's trying to do. Nothing added past the original vague situation
- If lucky, I might get a screenshot of part of the error, meticulously sliced before it gave something useful in the output because he stopped reading error output to things and made no attempt to understand it. (Why? ChatGPT can do that part!)
- Rinse and Repeat until I get fed up and get into a call with him
- Fix the thing in less than a minute, pointing out that he should have been able to tell what was wrong almost immediately if he actually dropped a break-point and debugged the code at *literally any point* along the way
- Fuck off immediately after getting his fix, no thank you or anything
- start the process anew the following day when he vibe coded himself into a corner all over again
I literally had to go to leadership and make them have a talk with him and get him to leave me the fuck alone at work, after repeated attempts to establish boundaries about it, due to how much time it sucked out of me being able to work on other projects. Effectively just doubling up my work and slamming me with burn out right at the start of the year for absolutely no reason other than his belligerent insistence to just Not Do His Job Without His Hand Being Held By A Chat Window.
It rapidly went from a "He sometimes asks informed questions that I can answer and help him with. I enjoy working with him" to "The dude isn't even trying in the slightest and is now basically offloading his work onto me because he broke his capacity to actually do work independently of an external chat window. I fucking hate him and I hope he gets in a car wreck so I can get a break from the bleakness of dealing with him every goddamn morning"
ChatGPT has basically just been an absolute blight for me since it's inception. Going from the team being generally pro-crypto to intensely pro-genAI/LLM because their favorite scammers (er.. I mean YouTubers) had them hooked on a fantasy of some day making it Big by jumping from one Hype cycle to the next. I sincerely was very close to just finding an entirely different career path altogether because of just how incredibly shitty it was working with that team on just about anything, but lacking the job experience on the resume to land someplace else.
Nobody wanted to be an actual expert, nobody really wanted to learn anything. They had their degree and ChatGPT, which means they learned all they ever will need. ...While working in an industry that tends to re-invent itself every half decade or so while half-assing solutions with an outsourced bullshit generator. ๐ซ
All in the name of "Well it got me from point A to point B faster." and leaving it at that, despite taking significantly longer than they should have from the get go over it.
I've seen and lived what an AI Fueled future looks like:
Mediocre men harassing their talented and likely autistic peers until their peers just up and fuckin leave to a different organization out of frustration and exhaustion.
I think down the road, we'll be able to measure the negative impact using LLMs has on people's cognitive faculties by comparing it to horse kicks to the head, and only be exaggerating it by a little bit.

Tips to secure SSH: cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-unix-โฆ
The more software you use, the larger the attack surface for your Linux install is. It's always good to take a look at all the installed applications, and libraries, and remove what you don't use anymore. You can also remove packages that aren't linked to anything else and aren't used by anything.
On Debian or Ubuntu, for example, you can find these by running sudo apt autoremove
And on a desktop, you probably already apply updates, or your distro has auto updates enabled. But on a server, it's easy to let things slide, and forget to log in regularly and make sure things are up to date. I'm guilty of that myself.
And just like with packages, libraries, and apps, you should also make sure you only run the services you actually use. You can list all services running with:
systemctl list-unit-files
To stop a service you don't need, you can run
systemctl stop SERVICE
To stop the service from starting with the system, you can run
systemctl disable SERVICE
If you're on a server, the general rule of thumb is also NOT to run a graphical desktop on it. It will often be much more secure to use SSH to log in to the server remotely.
But you might also need to secure SSH first. If you have multiple users, make sure only the ones who need it have SSH access. To do that, you can edit the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file, and type AllowUsers then the names of the users that will actually have access to SSH.
Now, something that might be useful in general, for a server or a desktop, is making sure all the users are correctly handled. The first thing will be to disable root login.
If you decide to disable the root account, make sure at least one user has admin privileges though, or you'll have a system without any way to access any task with sudo. Once you're certain everything is ok, you can use the following method:
Edit /etc/passwd, and change the first line, by replacing /bin/bash, or whatever other shell root currently logs into, by /sbin/nologin (or /usr/sbin/nologin depending on the distro)
If you prefer, you can simply disable root login through SSH, so the account is still there if you want it locally, but remote attackers won't be able to login as root. To do so, you can edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config, and uncomment the PermitRootLogin line, and then set its value to no. Restart SSH with sytemctl restart sshd, and you're done.
To remove the ability to use USB, Thunderbolt or Firewire, you can add the following lines to their respective files (create them if need be). To revert this, just remove the lines that have been added in the various files by the commands.
Add: install usb-storage /bin/true to /etc/modprobe.d/disable-usb-storage.conf
Add blacklist firewire-core to /etc/modprobe.d/firewire.conf
Add blacklist thunderbolt to /etc/modprobe.d/thunderbolt.conf

Friedensfรคhig statt kriegstรผchtig!
Eine Woche vor der 1. offiziellen Militรคrjubelfeier- dem Veteranentag - mit der Bundeswehr vor dem Reichstagsgebรคude mรผssen wir noch einmal auf die in unsere Kรถpfe geprรผgelte "Wende" in unseren Kรถpfen aufmerksam machen. Plรถtzlich wird wieder offen รผber Kriegstรผchtigkeit gesprochen und oft sogar schon ein Datum fรผr den nรคchsten Krieg genannt.
Angeblich will Russland ab 2029 die NATO angreifen und deshalb mรผssen wir unseren in den letzten 3jahren bereits verdoppelten Kriegshaushalt noch einmal mehr als verdoppeln (von 2 auf 5% des BIP). Dem Wahnsinn scheinen keine Grenzen gesetzt, denn so eine Erhรถhung ist ohne weitere Einschnitte in Soziales, Bildung, Rente unmรถglich.
Um diese wahnsinnigen Ziele durchzusetzen soll die Wehrpflicht - und die innere Bereitschaft bei der Jugend - erhรถht werden, wie der 1. verlinkte Artikel zeigt. Lesenswert!
Im 2. verlinkten Artikel wird dann deutlich, was die Rolle Deutschlands als Kriegsschauplatz dabei sein soll. Mit Polen an der "zukรผnftigen Ostfront" gelegen, mรผssen die Brรผcken, Straรen und Eisenbahnlinien fรผr den Durchmarsch der NATO Partner im Westen "resilient" sein.
Nebenbei wird dabei auch an die "Probleme" fรผr Krankenhรคuser, THW und Feuerwehr gedacht, die mit den hohen Opferzahlen รผberfordert sein werden. Seit der proklamierten "Zeitenwende" werden Vorschlรคge unter dem Label "Zivil-Militรคrische Zusammenarbeit" in die Debatte geworfen, die allesamt grausig sind. Auch der Bunkerbau soll wieder gefรถrdert werden. Dabei werden die Bunker bei der nรคchsten Ahrtal-Katastrophe genauso absaufen wie die Hรคuser ...
Abgesehen von den Milliarden-Kosten fรผr diese angebliche Resilienz, die auch in den beschlossenen "Sondervermรถgen" (Jahrzehnte andauernde Schulden) nicht vorhanden sind, wird es langsam Zeit die Debatte fรผr Alternativen zur Kriegstรผchtigkeit zu รถffnen. Wenn dies nicht bald geschieht, machen wir selbst Deutschland wirtschaftlich, sozial und bildungsmรครig zu einer Ruine ...

Iodรฉ is Android, but with all Google software removed. It uses Lineage OS as a base, but adds a built-in ad and tracker blocker that runs at all times, locally on the device.
The ROM itself will be familiar if you ever used a Pixel. On the Pixel 5, Iodรฉ OS 4 was preinstalled, and it's based on Android 13. The latest security update was on January 5th 2023. The Iodรฉ team told me they provide security updates every 2 months, and every month for beta users.
The default experience is as close to stock as can be: you have either the 3 button layout of Android, or the gestures, a dock of apps at the bottom, an app drawer by swiping up, and a few preset widgets.
In terms of apps, Iodรฉ ships with a Firefox fork by default, which disables telemetry, trackers and enables alternative search engines right out of the box. The default email client is Pretty Easy privacy, or pEp. It's a simple email client with an easy interface, that adds end to end encryption capabilities to any mail account.
For Maps, you get Magic Earth, which is also open source, and uses OpenStreet Map. The keyboard is OpenBoard, the camera app is OpenCamera, which, while very powerful, has a terrible user interface and looks pretty bad.
Iodรฉ comes with a tracker blocker built in. This thing works using a man in the middle attack style: the OS intercepts all communications and requests that go out of your phone, and blocks everything that's part of the blocklists. These blocklists are collaboratively sourced, and include a LOT of adblock and tracker blocker related things. This system is based on Energized Protection, which is an open source project licensed under the MIT license.
To complement this, there's a preinstalled app that lets you check out how many requests you've blocked to how many recipients.
Iodรฉ OS relies on 2 app stores: you get F Droid for all your open source app needs, and you get the Aurora Store. Installing apps works very well, I encountered 0 problems here.
Where you'll have issues is running apps that depend on Google services. I tried installing the Youtube app, and it never opened. Other Google apps got me the same experience, like the youtube studio app. Stuff like Google Maps or Google Photos worked, but were unable to use the already added Google account in micro G.
After reaching out to the Iodรฉ team, they told me they have identified the issue, which is fixed in the beta, and will be patched in the next OTA release.
Interestingly, stuff like my banking app worked immediately on Iodรฉ, letting me use the phone as my secure device to authenticate purchases online, something that is usually blocked because the device doesn't pass SafetyNet checks. Here, it all worked perfectly for me.
Compared to Lineage OS, it adds all these tracker and ad blocking capabilities. You could probably replicate that yourself on Lineage, but at least here, it's setup right out of the box.
Compared to something like /e/, the latter has more advanced privacy features, with the ability to scramble your location at the press of a button, and more complete privacy controls.
But /e/ also deviates a lot from stock Android, with their own launcher, their own forks of open source apps, and generally an experience that won't appeal to everyone.

A new paper criticizes the capabilities of LLMs in reasoning and formal logic. It builds on previous arguments made by Gary Marcus and Subbarao Kambhampati about LLMs' limitations in generalizing beyond their training distribution.
The paper argues that LLMs are not a substitute for well-specified conventional algorithms and have limitations that are becoming clearer. The the field of neural networks is not dead, but the current approach has clear limitations.
