I think Yegge hit the nail on the head: he has an addiction. Opus 4.5 is awesome but the type of stuff Yegge has been saying lately has been... questionable, to say the least. The kids call it getting "one-shotted by AI". Using an AI coding assistant should not be causing a person this much distress.
A lot of smart people think they're "too smart" to get addicted. Plenty of tales of booksmart people who tried heroin and ended up stealing their mother's jewelry for a fix a few months later.
- davedx 8mo agoI'm a recovering alcoholic. One thing I learned from therapists etc. along the way is that there are certain personality types with high intelligence, and also higher sensitivity to other things, like noise, emotional challenges, and addictive/compulsive behaviour. It does not surprise me at all that software engineers are falling into an addiction trap with AI.
