The number would be much larger, of course, if I didn’t have to pursue a range of strategies to evade spam filters, CAPTCHAs, and other defenses.”

“Have you tried this out yet?” Corvallis asked.

“Not against a real subject,” Pluto said. “I invented a fictitious subject and deployed some APEs against it, just to see how it worked in the wild. The fictitious subject has already attracted thousands of death threats,” he added with a note of pride.

“You mean, from people who saw the defamatory posts seeded by the APEs and got really mad at this person who doesn’t even exist.”

I am ape writing this post after ape cooking breakfast, and then I'll go for an ape walk. In the future, maybe by Thursday, I can have agents do all of that and relax.

If you're selling Ape Coding merchandise, send me the link!

AI can produce thousands of line of code. But that’s not the goal.

If everything is C why not generate the entire bootloader to kernel stack with programs specifically tailored to the user.

Every joke has a bit of a joke, as they say. I'm proudly ape-coding two of my current projects.

The merits and demerits of this product vary from person to person, and I dare not make a definite assertion

"Humans are now writing code in strict specification language so that AI agents have completely context and don't mistakes. This specification language is called C' and has led to a whopping 20% reduction of code. 1000 of C++ code can be expressed in no more than 800 lines of specification C' code written by humans"

I’m a fan of the term “human slop,” which I’ve seen pop up recently regarding certain tech company feuds on Twitter.

I am sorry, but it's almost laughable if not the disrespect attempt towards education and mind development, which is rather sorrowful...

Here, some may notice an obvious behavior for infant and arrogant people who chose not to learn, gain knowledge, focus on accountable actual research, develop their mind and self-confidence, but just invent a harassing and namecalling term to at least anyhow feel themselves worthy.

I believe that one day, the author known as `romulo@rsaksida.com`, set in the footer there, will realize their infant and indifferent attitude, that every single psychologists instantly notices.

Thank you! I'll associate that term with you now, romulo. You do you.

Why has nobody mentioned yet how dangerous this really is? Have we all forgotten the great Datacenter burnings of 2031? The APEs are one step away from becoming fully fledged Luddite terrorists. Artisanal software is unamerican just like President Barron said the other day on his Twitch stream.

WTF is this?! Sattire? AI generated propaganda? I honestly don't get it. Can OP elaborate why it's a good content worthy of people’s time? Thanks in advance.
