I've met this man in dark glasses on the street a couple of times with a huge cat on a leash.
Movie review: Good Luck Have Fun Don't Die (no spoilers)
I've watched this movie in an airplane in 2026, a year after it came out.
Overall, I'll give it a solid 7/10 rating: worth watching.
The basic premise is that the world is overrun by social networks and AI, and all the people have turned into mindless drones and all they do is scroll on tiktok... I'm talking about the movie, not the real life. You can already see how this is great: it's already happening or has happened, and the movie is great social commentary.
Using cursor is infuriating - AI makes you dumb
I just installed the newest cursor (3.11.x) text editor and I hate it. It tries to type in front of me. I can't think straight while that is happening.
If the words on the screen change before, during, and after I type - it is as if I'm not typing at all. But the AI is not smarter than me, I am smarter than it. If some business wants to give the task of writing to the text editor itself - that's their choice. As for me, as a software specialist, I cannot give up the task of thinking. It is my job.
Funny paradox: If you pay money and then break the law, it's a bribe, and it's illegal. And if you break the law first and then pay, it's called a fine, and it's legal.

Not to mention that oftentimes the AI does work! See this quick article for an example: https://wasyaco.com/w/20260815
Would I have come up with this solution on my own? I doubt it. Does it save me time and improve efficiency? Absolutely.
AI is very powerful, and works better than ever, and continues improving. Sure, a lot of it is fraud, a lot of it is questionable, and even the best modern AI will try to ruin your codebase, if you let it. (A junior programmer would also ruin your codebase if you let him.)
Fundamentally, I believe the GPT architecture actually go it right. The way brain works, the way neurons work. Each neuron does integrals, and together they *predict*, anticipate something, and that anticipation is what builds the world around us. The "attention" mechanic that divides computation into key, query, value, seems to work so well. And arguably, there is no cognition outside language. GPT does very well with language, with plain text, and generating (and consuming) plain-text instructions. Amazingly, even if all GPT does is give you probability of the next token, this alone is so powerful, that it looks like cognition.
So yeah. We are at the very scary place where AI *is* becoming indispensable. Even in defending yourself against AI.
