> increasing ambient temperatures, That study was so bad that I can’t believe it’s becoming an actual concern that people use against data centers. They were barely able to register a temperature increase a couple hundred meters directly downwind. > _Lobsters_ has now becoming my go-to with their posts being focused on ideas and concepts versus advertisements for large corporation ML based solutions. Lobsters has a funny obsession with being anti-AI, but the most commented posts on the front page are usually AI related.

One AI psychotic's "barely able to register" is another person's "increasing ambient temperature".

> Lobsters has a funny obsession with being anti-AI, but the most commented posts on the front page are usually AI related. The top five most filtered-out tags¹, excluding meta², are (in order): vibecoding, dotnet, php, emacs, ai. Two of the five are AI-related. The top spot (vibecoding) has 60% more people filtering it than the second spot. ¹ https://lobste.rs/filters https://lobste.rs/filters ² In the sense of being about the website itself, not Facebook’s parent company.

  Wait, how is Emacs AI-related aside from being written in Lisp?

    It’s not. Neither is php or dotnet. I meant to write “two of the five”, not “three of the five”. Fixed. Sorry about the confusion.

      I'd argue dotnet is about AI. The official blogs and conferences have been hijacked by AI products, much like VS Code.

  So less than 4% of the userbase filters out vibecoding stories? This looks like a big red herring. Every time I open up the lobste.rs home page, there's an 80% chance the most commented on stories are related to AI in some way. Other stories are lucky to get 10 comments.

> Lobsters has a funny obsession with being anti-AI, but the most commented posts on the front page are usually AI related. Reminds me of gamer-gate: Back then, NerdCubed graphed the top posts from both pro- and anti-gamer-gate subreddits, and most were meta posts about themselves and each other rather than their alleged topics. Gosh, that was such a dumb period.
