I have nothing against AI myself, but it significantly changed how hackathons work.
One prominent example I won't name, I had attended over a couple years. Coincidentally,the timing overlapped with pre-LLM boom and post-LLM boom.
My first edition had zero usage of LLMs, the last had practically 100%, the rules were accommodated. The teams were no longer required to present a working example, a literal figma concept and a cool slideshow were more than enough.
Hi, I wanted to share a bit of my frustration about Linux usage after whole 2 years of using it as my daily driver. I collected most of the more annoying issues I've encountered, the list is not long, fortunately, but features some especially gruesome issues.
The year is 2030. REST API is dead. Invoking requests results in your web browser inbuilt LLM guessing what is supposed to be returned from the server. When opening github.com you occasionally see cheese, at times animal shelter hotline.

It is better than simple secret like 12345678 but it can go wrong too, like in the case of UPC UBEE routers where the list of potential passwords can be narrowed down to like ~60 possibilities using a googled generator [1] whilst knowing only the SSID.
It did require firmware reverse engineering to figure out [2][3] but applies to most devices I've encountered. User should ideally always change the default password regardless.
