All right, I might as well announce it.

Even if it’s just a limited-audience, one-day event, as of 2026-05-16, I’ll have reached the art milestone of “got a piece of mine into an actual exposition”.

@saphire

what if someone doesnt have a smartphone..? or is currently using their phone to access something with this new captcha and doesnt have a random second device to scan QR codes off of their phone with?
even in a sunshine rainbows world where nobody did scam QRs it seems like a pretty bad idea...

Well, the new Google ReCaptcha is awful, sheesh

It's a QR code you have to scan with a "proper" device - aka with Google Services installed

Goodbye last 10 years of phishing awareness, time to scan random QRs without a thought while you are purchasing things, woo! Seriously what were they thinking?

And because it's recommended to be put in "high risk" places, people will expect them to be seen there, and so a scam/phishing QR will be so much easier to slip in.

on the other hand, my token rate is much slower when i do it through llama.cpp's ui myself. presumably this is because they have filled the context buffer with some instructions for agents to ignore.

holy crap, it's taken 3 days but i've got a sandboxed slopcoding setup running.

truly this is the future, what with me needing to rely on [redacted] years of knowledge to get here.

okay so the web ui doesn't work but the silly TUI thing does, success!

well not quite, i have to work out how to configure it to talk to llama.cpp before it'll be useful.

for values of useful that pertain to disgusting sloppingware, i mean.

@cthos

Widely accepted??

Whether and how LLMs should be involved in coding at all (much less “agents”) is the single most divisive question I’ve ever encountered in my 40-some years of software development. It makes static vs dynamic types or text editor wars look like tiddlywinks by comparison. I’ve never seen so many developers ready to set things on fire over how to write code.

There’s a reason why I’m still here despite all the annoyances this place has to offer. You lot are readers and you post links to what you read. 👍🏻
