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
Unrelated to his stance on AI, unironically using the term “SI” completely lost my trust in HIBP.
Seriously. It’s just gross.
I feel like I’m watching the collapse of society in real time. Even Linus fell to AI bullshittery recently.
He was always dubious tbh
Edit: I love Linux but it’s really only great because it’s unix based and it’s really the only other option
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.
The web crashed.
Look at it now.
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.
Anyone calling it Super Intelligence is a moron anyway.
Fuck HBIP, fuck Troy Hunt.
SI
😭
Sans Intelligence.
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.
oh god he’s lost in the sauce.
Yikes
robophobic exclusionary behaviour
good punk band name
I saw REB play at the Brooklyn Bowl before anyone had ever heard of them.
Did they play Speak to a Human?
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.
So his brain melted?
He thinks the LLM has personhood? Or feelings?
Fucking moron
We saw this happen with Kent Overstreet too. I think the takeaway from these cases is that developers need mental health care. AI is just the canary in the DSM coal mine.
Yeah, he should be in an asylum…

I feel like you intentionally left out some context there:
This is so “peak 2026” - writing an equality policy to ensure people treat our AI bot with the same respect as they do their human counterparts. It’s intentionally a bit tongue-in-cheek, but it’s there for a purpose: we simply don’t have the capacity to deal with every request we get, and we need Bruce to be the coalface of support.
Wrf is a coalface is that an aussyism?
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.
Its been shitty before vibecoding
You’re not wrong.
Jfc ms teams still sucks? How? It’s been in active development for about a decade now.
Prior to LLM’s ? shitty product management.
After LLM’s ? still shitty product management, but now faster and with additional climate change.
Heck, go use GitHub for a day
putting SI as a alternate name in apparent support for trump’s dumb shit is just the cherry on top of the shitcake
Spreadsheet Impersonator?
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.
It always throws me off because in polish it’s “Sztuczna Inteligencja”, and has also been abbreviated like that long ago.
I do wonder if they even know SI units exist…
KURWA RODAK🇵🇱🇵🇱
They all will eventually. AI is going to own everything we have ever known. Get very used to it.
a feeling that those weaponising the term have now accepted
That’s an interesting approach, to declare that everyone who says it “doesn’t really mean it”
Linus Torvalds
Linus’ take was more nuanced, I’m not sure I agree, but at the same time he was talking up AI, he also expressed that he saw it as useful for onboarding, review, and throwaway efforts in fields you don’t get. Also he made the caveat that he doesn’t really code the kernel so much anymore, so he explicitly stated he had lost some perspective. Also that it wasn’t suitable for full-on “vibing” maintainable code. However AI bros have gone all in on feeling vindicated and feeling like Linus said the kernel should be vibe coded now.
However AI bros have gone all in on feeling vindicated and feeling like Linus said the kernel should be vibe coded now.
What I saw was mainly AI haters that couldn’t form a well thought out take, saying that Linus has gone full slop and the kernel is now slop-first.
The debate was killed before even starting because one side can’t express anything other than “slop”, and refuse to hear the full arguments presented.No, the anti-AI side gave plenty of well constructed arguments and rebutals about the societal effects, the limits of LLMs, the way it exploits artists, why agentic coding is unsustainable and bad, the blatant attempts at cutting income to people who are struggling like artists and designers, the complete and utter lack of care displayed by corporations and the sheer lack of respect displayed by everyone drinking the AI kool aid.
The pro-AI response has endlessly been repeating “its just a tool and its inevitable and if you dont like it you’re a Luddite who’s never tried or researched AI” (Even as the people who draw “anti-AI” conclusions or point out the negatives and limits of this technology turn out to have done extensive research and experimentation on machine learning and LLMs and realized that this was a dead end that was going to reach mediocrity at best) and now this narrative that the anti-AI side is disrespectful and bigoted (fucking rich coming from proponents lf a technology that has been shown to be biased against minorities from the very beginning; image recognition STILL keeps mistaking black men for apes and gemini tends to assume trans women are predators, not to mention the utter insanity that is to pretend locking everything behind models that require strong, modern computers is somehow giving power to poor countries, also the fact that most of the people behind this push are besties with Thiel, you know, the guy that is the absolute worst of all these tendencies)
We’re fucking sick of the endless disrespect and self-victimization that slop makers constantly peddle and the gall to call us the ones that are delusional and disrespectful. Anyone who has seen the arguments and debates and hasnt come out with an unbridled hatred for this piece of shit that has made life in this planet worse for everyone with no benefit for anyone that isnt a corpo fuck is worthless and can go fuck themselves
Thanks for taking the time to write a complete response. I’m not pro AI but I couldn’t help but see all the responses (including to my comment) that limit the thought process to AI=slop, which completely destroys any hope of civic discourse on the subject. There are many kneejerk reactions to anything AI and thought terminating cliché that makes discussing this topic highly toxic.
I see that the topic is highly sensitive for many here, and it is best to leave this community fester on its own hatred.
one side
opinion discarded. caveman brain take.
Is there an argument to be made other than slop? All i have seen as far as arguments for is: “this other thing is slop, so why can’t I slop here?”, “what if it’s only a little bit of slop” or “what if I serve you slop anyway and you don’t notice”. I don’t care if you only put a thimbleful of dogshit in your soup, it’s still shit soup.
While it is a fair observation that critics also failed to recognize nuance in Torvald’s take, it is a bit wild to assert that it was ‘mainly AI haters’ that didn’t get the nuance in a post specifically about someone so pro-AI they declare that everyone agrees with their take, and even people who claim otherwise don’t mean it and secretly agree with him, and that Torvalds gave an unequivocal thumbs up to full on vibe coding.
Nah there’s opinionated idiots on both sides, one is organically ignorant and the other is parroting corporate published ignorance
Thanks for proving my point
Ouch you should read over the posts, I definitely did not.
No one would have ever called it ‘vibe coding’ if they wanted it to be taken seriously, and/or respected.
Vibe coding is, by definition, not coding. It is the exclusive authorship of code by AI, specifically by a lazy developer. Yolo coding would be a better term, in hindsight
eyes closed coding
brain nope coding
crap coding
slop coding
douche coding
hands free butt plug coding
stupor intelligence coding (sic for short)
derp coding
not coding
bro coding
kardashian koding
aihole coding…
I knew this would happen the moment Linus made a statement. Id be very surprised if there wasnt a notable uptick in ai usage after he posted.
It’s just the whole dam breaking, really. First the support then everything else, until there is nothing anymore.
No shade to Troy, but he’s in the business of promotion and tech evangelism. He’s going to be on this train.
