Hi, it's really minor that AI can hallucinate, destroy your database, produce bad code and a whole new generation of unskilled sloppy coders, and among other things, make you dumb. Despite that AI can still do impressive things. But why would you use AI when you know its tremendous ecological (especially water consumption and heat production) and sociological cost? What about: stop paying for AI, stop funding AI, take back the money from OpenAI and all (they have too much) and let's correctly train powerful new programmers to become our cool future colleagues, all without giant data-centers that consume whole cities' resources? And I don't think that these questions cannot be answered in a productive way and unheated (ha ha) way. Steven. Le 2026-05-29 10:16, Danil Osipchuk a écrit :

Koen, greetings

Thank you for your consistent effort with your blog, it is a pleasure to read.

With AI there are many facets, some of which are more controversial than others, this list seems to politely stay silent to avoid heated unproductive discussions. However, I can't help not to suggest the story here https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/apr/29/claude-ai-deletes-firm-da... and the observation that the agent's explanation why it did delete the database sounds like a bold metaphysical statement.

Fun times.

regards, Danil

Dear Pharo users and developers,

I posted the third article in a series about using AI in Pharo development. After building the MCP server together, it was time to pair program with Claude to write some code in a Pharo image. In the new post, I share my experience of working with Claude and how it has impacted my development process.

As always, all feedback is welcome.

Happy reading!

Ciao, Koen
