Stack Overflow’s forum is dead thanks to AI, but the company’s still kicking… thanks to AI – Sherwood News (and a few links on SEDE – Stack Exchange Data Explorer)

Posted by jpluimers on 2026/05/26

Interesting article: [Wayback/Archive] Stack Overflow’s forum is dead thanks to AI, but the company’s still kicking… thanks to AI – Sherwood News. with this important quote:

The complex questions still get asked on Stack because there’s no other place. If the LLMs are only as good as the data, which is typically human curated, we’re one of the best places for that, if not the best for technology.

I wonder about how far it has declined now, and also think these are reasons for the decline as well:

Anyway, the graph in that post is just a sexy version of a query you can create yourself on the SEDE (Stack Exchange Data Explorer). That’s why I included both below.

default settings – How do I disable all AI features in Chrome? – Super User

Posted by jpluimers on 2026/05/11

Few places have the configuration for various platforms on how to prevent Google Chrome from installing the 4GB LLM model that got traction over the last few days. Luckily it is at [Wayback/Archive] default settings – How do I disable all AI features in Chrome? – Super User (thanks [Wayback/Archive] A-Tech and [Wayback/Archive] cachius):

Now you know it from the update of the Microsoft [Wayback/Archive] Copilot – Terms of Use: “Copilot is for entertainment purposes only.”

Via [Wayback/Archive] Post by @doublepulsar.com — Bluesky “What happened to the world daddy?” “We destroyed it, but for one beautiful moment in time, we had copilot entertainment” using a blurred image which I found the source for in my past blog post Yes the planet got destroyed. But for a beautiful moment in time we created a lot of value for shareholders. – Finding back the source.

LLM-generated passwords ‘fundamentally weak,’ experts say • The Register

Posted by jpluimers on 2026/02/24

LLM eat a lot of energy and are their hallucination are bad: [Wayback/Archive] LLM-generated passwords ‘fundamentally weak,’ experts say • The Register

Your AI-generated password isn’t random, it just looks that way

AI security company Irregular looked at Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini, and found all three GenAI tools put forward seemingly strong passwords that were, in fact, easily guessable.

Basically they are almost as good as the 2007 XKCD “four” number generator, the 2013 XKCD “I’m So Random” or the 2001 Dilbert “nine” number generator further below (don’t read the latter if you dislike Scott Adams)

Is it a coincidence or are these two using two small squared numbers?

Anyway: avoid LLM whenever possible, as most often they do more bad than good.

And for passwords, better use the blog post that was already scheduled for tomorrow: Generating random strings for passwords and uuids/guids on both Windows and Linux using base64 and hex encoding, plus: “Hive Systems: Are Your Passwords in the Green?”

Via [Wayback/Archive] Eloy.: “LLMs are centrist randomness: not useful for anything that requires truth but neither for password generation” – HSNL Social

Below this post, there are some great responses as well.

Vibe Coding Is Creating Braindead Coders | N’s Blog

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/12/10

The below blog post sparked my thought into finally having words for what bothered me for such a long time using LLM for coding:

When using LLM for coding, you basically unlearn to solve simple problems. That practically also removes your ability to solve the difficult problems that LLM cannot help solving.

Because the day we stop struggling with hard problems is the day we stop being programmers, and become something else entirely.

Video that depicts why I dislike the LLM outcomes so much (author sofia named it “A shitpost that’s been brewing…”)
