> good riddance because when the AI bubble inevitably bursts, coding will be just us nerds again

Not sure what you mean by AI bubble bursting, but there is no way this genie goes back into the lamp. We now have Opus 4.6 level open models already and these are newer coming away, and soon we will have Fable level open models too. So even if all the frontier labs imploded financially today the LLMs are not going away.

Coding will never be the same as before, the sooner everyone accepts this the better.

I’m so lazy I just type `ping 1.1` and it still works (apparently 1.0.0.1 is also always up).

They most certainly do, but on a mid-higher level. They don't probably know every single motion and definitely lack hands-on experience. But they know enough to be able to manage them efficiently.

Same thing happened to me. The partial output did contain some useful signal but I was disappointed to see it didn’t finish.

I love it so much, it felt really good when I placed my first piece :). There are some technical issues, the UI and controls could be better, but it definitely was fun, and that's what really matters!

Never trust Google AI summaries, it hallucinates like crazy. I've recently googled my business name a few times on different machines and each one had at least one factual error, and what's worse - the errors were different for each run. Another time I wanted to know how to do something in Notion, and Google hallucinated a feature that does not exist, listing exact steps on how to enable it.

Try it - google your name, name of your company or "how to do X in software Y" and you'll see for yourself.

The diagrams were generated with Nano Banana Pro (most probably, or alternatively with ChatGPT Image 2), if you look closely in high contrast areas you'll see artifacts in the background that give it away.

I personally don't mind AI generated content when it's properly reviewed, but unfortunately more often than not the author just glances at the result and decides it's good enough.

Example: https://opencv.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/image-1.jpeg

I'm not knowledgable enough to determine whether this diagram is 100% accurate, but some things look off - the arrows in the bottom left seem superficial, some arrows are connected in weird ways, the mini diagram in AttentionLayer block doesn't look right (it has two Softmax icons and one MatMul icon, while the "before" diagram is the opposite).

Fun idea! I was surprised that it loaded on mobile and UI was kinda reasonable but I could tap any buttons to move or do anything. I’ll look into sending a PR for fixing that.

This kind of behavior should be met with swift and strong reaction from both the school authorities and the law enforcement. Kids responsible should be put on trial and face serious consequences including jail time for most egregious cases. Let the news cover it nationwide. "This is what will happen if you even think about creating and circulating nude pics of anyone" should be the message sent. This is the only way to prevent this behavior - not more censorship, not technical solutions

SynthID is visible in some generations (areas with a lot of edges, or text), I wonder if this would make them look better.

> What’s the point of adding features that are inscrutable?

You are assuming that the additional speed comes at a cost of codebase comprehension. For me it's not the case - I never push generated code I don't fully understand. It does take time, sure, but it still takes me much less time to write a spec, execute with AI and then review than write the thing myself.
