Troy Hunt has been a pillar in the cybersecurity community with his Have I Been Pwned project for many, many years, even walked back a purchase of it because he felt they would compromise the principles of the project. But now he has just gone all-in on AI. On a previous Weeky Update he published a "Robophobia Equality Policy" after receiving pushback to his openclaw usage. Since then he has posted more of his usage of AI, and in the latest he suggest that "people are getting into the program" because he seems to be receiving less pushback and because of Linus' affirmations

Text of Troy Hunt's Weekly Update 526, quoting: "I have this sense that we've passed the point where "vibe coding" is a derogatory term. I have no empirical evidence for this; it's more a feeling that those weaponising the term have now accepted the inevitability and are just getting with the program."

Unrelated to his stance on AI, unironically using the term “SI” completely lost my trust in HIBP.

    I feel like I'm watching the collapse of society in real time. Even Linus fell to AI bullshittery recently.

    I wonder what’ll happen after the crash. Will people like Hunt stay in this weird mindplace where reality is bent until it breaks, or will they come back to the real world?

    Talking about robophobic exclusionary behaviour and SI seems like he's developed serious mental issues.

    Linus also said competent, which means it’s being tested before it’s committed, etc. This person is just fulfilling his bias. The AI cuck coders won’t be testing because they’re tired of testing AI’s fuck ups.

    Yeah, he's been like this for a while, here's a choice quote of his from back in April.

    Demanding to “speak to a human” solely because the bot is an AI may constitute robophobic exclusionary behaviour and will not be tolerated.

    I would love to live in a world where robophibia is a legitimate issue we need to overcome, but that's not anytime soon.

    I've been waiting my whole life to stand in the living room drunkenly yelling "No daughter of mine is going to marry this... fucking roomba!"

    And she'd be all crying like 'That's why I couldn't you tell you I was robosexual, dad. You're a hypocritical bigot! Mom would roll over in her grave if she knew what you and that Bimbo4000 subscription on your desktop were doing!"

    Then I'd punch a hole in the wall, which would be easy because all public housing would just be refrigerator cardboard boxes and yell "Why can't you be normal like your transmasc ace furry brother??"

    Then she'd run out of the house crying and jump into her lover/Electric VTO transport that also plays in a band and burn thruster donuts in the front yard.

    But nooo, we get this stupid shit going on here.

    LOL, no.

    Vibe coding is still 100% a derogatory term. Go use MS Teams for a day if you think vibe coding produces anything useful. There are new bugs every single day that we have to work around, as MS apparently vibe codes this shit AND no longer properly tests their work product before releasing it.

    putting SI as a alternate name in apparent support for trump's dumb shit is just the cherry on top of the shitcake

    Great way to have people tell on themselves, however.

    A red flag doesn't even describe it. It's more like a jolly roger or a hazmat placard. They are announcing their tacit support for an idiot fascist.

    SI as an acronym is already very widely used globally, so it annoys me that it's encroaching on a more useful acronym also.
