Anthropic's entire deal is to fear-monger "AI" in order to raise money for "responsible AI development." It's a PR scam. It's always been a PR scam. They're lying.

I've been microdosing "thinking" lately. Every hour for one minute I "use my brain to think about stuff.". I believe this will put me at a competitive edge over 99.6% of the human population, if my calculations are correct.

Too many people still confuse Software Engineering with writing code. Code is the artifact. Software Engineering is understanding the problem, making tradeoffs, designing the system, reducing complexity, and deciding what shouldn't be built. No amount of 'vibe coding' can help you with this.

QOL feature suggestion - It would be convenient if the account search textbox accepted profile URLs (

There's something to this. Discworld never made it to a compelling movie adaptation and is slowly lost from popular culture. People, especially children, should read
#Pratchett
, because his books are great fun while being very good and thought-provoking stories.

I Am Begging You to Read Terry Pratchett

Hey, there is an issue when logged in with an app password. Freshly logged in everything works. After some time, e.g. next day, account lookup works, but blocking does not. The application tries, but the API responds with a session token invalid error to each block request.

Just occurred to me: When you _SEARCH_ you want to _FIND_ _AN EXISTING THING_. Like the idea of adding "generative" into that literally makes no sense.

And it's more than likely that token-based billing for AI models *still* does won't cover the actual costs of running these abominations, let alone provide a way towards profitability. All of this is so incredibly insane.

Schade, dass Blockenheimer (eine Bluesky-App, mit der man alle Follower eines Accounts mit einem Schlag blockieren konnte) nicht mehr existiert. Die würde mir aktuell wieder gute Dienste leisten. Einen rechten Trollaccount zu blocken, aber seine 1000 Follower nicht, ist doch Verschwendung.

We off the richest person in Britain and take all their stuff and give it to everyone else and then we work our way down the list of the next richest people doing the same until everyone else can afford food, warmth and housing. If we can't afford poor people, we can't afford rich people.

#Artemis
II image: * This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right * The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon: ☀️🌍🚀🌕

The whole "AI" industry is just based on the hope that they can deskill people fast enough that they'll have to rent back cognitive support systems. Forever. It's like Uber. Just that they don't try to break existing transportation infrastructures but your brain.

Wusstet ihr, dass viele Arbeitgebende nur "Gehalt nach Vorschrift" zahlen, also nur das Nötigste überweisen, wie vertraglich vereinbart? Sie sind emotional nur gering an ihre Arbeitnehmenden gebunden und erfüllen nur das Minimum ihrer Fürsorgepflicht, ohne sie darüber hinaus wertzuschätzen.

Zu viele Arbeitnehmer machen laut Studie nur „Dienst nach Vorschrift“
In Deutschland sind weiter zu viele Menschen bei der Arbeit im „Energiesparmodus“, fanden Forscher heraus. Dabei kostet jede „innere Kündigung“ Geld.

The Python foundation (
@python.org
) have sunset the MSI-based Python package for Windows, and replaced it with some awkward hybrid Windows Store installation that breaks tons of stuff, and this is among the dumbest, most heavy-handed decisions I've seen a software group of that import take lately.
