Would be cool to see the live reaction of Rob Pike to this comment
- andsoitis 7mo ago> Would be cool to see the live reaction of Rob Pike to this comment Based on everything public, Pike is deeply hostile to generative AI in general: - The Christmas 2025 incident (https://simonwillison.net/2025/Dec/26/slop-acts-of-kindness/ https://simonwillison.net/2025/Dec/26/slop-acts-of-kindness/) - he's labeled GenAI as nuclear waste (https://www.webpronews.com/rob-pike-labels-generative-ai-nuclear-waste-in-viral-2025-critique/ https://www.webpronews.com/rob-pike-labels-generative-ai-nuc...) - ideologically, he's spent his career chasing complexity reduction, adovcating for code sobriety, resource efficiency, and clarity of thought. Large, opaque, energy-intensive LLMs represent the antithesis.

The whole article is an AI hallucination. It refers to the same "Christmas 2025 incident". The internet is dead for real.
