LLMs in a nutshell.

i was out for a walk the other day and overheard some dude saying, "we need israel so jesus can come back," and days later i'm still sorry i didn't just kick him right in the shins.

i try to avoid political sh!t posting, it helps no one but also, i can't help but think JD must be SO MAD about the pope and all his... edicts? (dunno, not catholic, don't know what you call all these pronouncements.)

i have had a LOT of conversations about AI lately, every time i come down more firmly on the side of the AI haters. Gen AI specifically, content slop machines can fly into the sun.

"Writing is more than a matter of merely outputting words. It’s a matter of discovering what your values are and convincing yourself that they’re worth fighting for."

"The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand." Thinking about this bit from All the President's Men this morning, no reason.

let's start with the fact that this dude uses "great leap forward" as GOOD thing, so guess he never heard of the 30million + dead under Mao's "great leap forward."

i did this in front of my house. it's great, but i gotta tell you, actually eliminating grass feels near impossible. that stuff is tenacious and it's really hard to get all of it.

Pope Leo and I both put down some words about AI. Here are mine. (Has JD left the church yet?)

This showed up in my in box overnight, and I’m glad it was the first thing I’ve read today. Thanks, @nerdseyeview.bsky.social

i am kinda stressed out about some stuff. today i did two things -- i went on a long bike ride to see a friend's theater troop and then, on the way home, i stopped at the dispensary to get edibles. the combination of those two things SHOULD set me right, for a little while, at least.

Been thinking/talking about AI a LOT lately; finally got some words down about it. TLDR: Boooooooooo.

Went to an anti AI datacentre protest march today and a friend of mine got a picture that summed it all up

stop generating crap you look stupid! 🐟

it's a schlep for me to get over to lake washington blvd but the way people are so mad about bicycle weekends there sure is motivating me to make the trek.

When a dog is resting his chin on you, you're stuck til he gets up. Them's the rules. I don't make them up.

i was a podcast guest today, we talked about AI and jobs and how we're being sold AI as a job destroyer and ... expected to cheer that on? huh? what? leaders are literally like "this will make thousands of jobs go away!" and wondering why they're not being met with enthusiasm.

Would love a senior IC role but they're all in training AI and NOPE.

I rewatched Sorry to Bother You and THAT SHIT HOLDS UP.

Bedtime.

It's kaftan season, kids, and point every guy who says they wish they could wear one to much of the SE hemisphere where the dude version is ubiquitous.

very specific joke and I AM HERE FOR IT

daily i read about how tech jobs bulldozed by the 1000s, while the bros behind it support a gov that wants working tied to social services, to health insurance. the k shaped economy is gonna be the t shaped economy in a hot minute w most blocked from the top and sliding out the bottom.

"The frustration was heightened by Meta’s strong financial performance, with the company reporting record revenue last month, leading to questions about why job cuts were needed." Tech leaders hate workers.

my new petty thing is reporting ads for AI tools as frauds and scams.

It's my one year unemployment-vesary. I've done a few hours here and there, had an under the table holiday gig, and walked dogs, but I've had no significant reliable income since May last year. Crazy.

hey hive mind. i gotta hire a lawyer for an incredibly stupid thing i can't take care of on my own. i don't understand why i gotta pay $250 to talk to them and see if i want to hire them. am i thinking about this wrong? please advise.

I always repost "get off Substack" content. i know, i know, and also, get off Substack.

Can anyone apply to get some of that sweet J6 payback? Coz I, too, was let down by Joe.

Still waiting for the supercut of all the BOOOOOs, could one of those guerilla art orgs start projecting said supercut onto tech campus buildings?

I switched most of my tech over to the Google universe coz it was my main work environment. But since AI ate my day job, I suppose I could divest?

What's the best scifi-ish novel to read about this stupid era we're in? If you've read Parable of the Sower, that is.

I went to the car wash today. Someone invented that thing that goes back and forth with the spinny and the soapy and the blowy. So crazy.

Lol

hey bsky -- has there been another technology release that has met the derision AI is getting and what happened to it? blu-ray comes to mind, but it didn't have the impact, pretty sure grads didn't boo blu-ray. the cybertruck feels closer, but we're not forcefed the cybertruck. what else?

i gotta get this guy in for a dental and the way i don't want to put him through it, hoo boy. he'll be miserable but he'll manage and i will suffer terribly while he recovers knowing he's unhappy.

impossible to overstate how much grads booing AI gives me life. and i think i might take on this behavior in public. like, some dork starts going on about AI? BOOOOOOOO. right there. loud enough so people stare.

Booooooooo. (The only response I'm giving to dudes talking about AI.)

Went to look at critters at today's low tide. Stunner day saw cool things, and there were like 150 first graders LOSING THEIR SHIT over marine life so that's one thing that's as it should be.

who has the supercut of oligarchs getting booed? we need this.

"So how are you going to claw your way to the top of a pyramid that has no middle?"

Who would Jesus kidnap and deport?

no ethical consumption under capitalism, no ethical creation using gen AI. working out an idea.

my dad was nuts, and a criminal (true story!) but the one thing he did right in his life was fight against segregation. he's gone for many years now, but he would lose his mind over seeing people have to do the work all over again. he'd lose his damn mind.
