Definitely not the exact same attachment to artistic creativity in what I do, but I think a lot of what @theoatmeal.bsky.social says here about how AI makes fields worse by eroding practice and process really does apply to software. theoatmeal.com/comics/ai_art

"When you see everything as an outcome — an outcome you may or may not understand, and definitely don’t understand the process behind, let alone care about — you kind of already see your workers as LLMs." www.wheresyoured.at/the-case-aga...

Give a man a fish, he'll have food for a day. Give a man an LLM, he'll brag about his fishing skills and claim that fishing as we know it is obsolete. Meanwhile, he won't know what to do when his fishing pole pulls up a piece of garbage.

Not a big CFB fan, and haven't really adopted any #UVA fandom since moving here, but when I don't have a horse in the race, I do always love me a good upset. Nicely done knocking off the #8 team in the country. #GoHoos

This would be amazing to do, if it weren't virtually unviable for those of us who live in Southwood and have to drop their kids at schools off Avon. Take my kid in my bike through the 5th Street Station shit show at rush hour? Yeah, no thanks. Let's get that bridge to Biscuit Run!!

This is a bit sad but really good to have out there: LLMs remain a viable tech for SOME use-cases, but trying to slap it on top of everything (we already knew, but it is now proved) is completely irresponsible Tech optimists: carry on, a better solution will show up one day, but this ain’t it chief

Again, someone please tell me when anti-vax went from "I don't want my kid to get vaccinated" to "I don't want anyone's kid to get vaccinated." The former view, while problematic given how contagion works, at least had some semblance of grounds in an individual freedom argument.

"With AI learning {subject} is going to become less necessary" is a really great example of what I hate most about all this hype.

"Robinson appears to have admired the “Groypers,” led by Nick Fuentes, who complain that more mainstream organizations like Kirk’s Turning Point USA are not “pro-white” enough and have publicly harassed Kirk in the past." open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

🤮

Today in "Well, Duh."

If you tell me I can watch my kid during the day because I work remote, I'm going to come to your office and spend all day asking you to play with me, then scream and break stuff when you tell me you need to focus for five minutes.

“People have a right to make their own decisions. Who am I, as a government or anyone else, to tell you what you should put in your body? Our body is a gift from God. What you put into your body is because of your relationship with your body and your God.” So why cant I put a COVID vax in my body?

In honor of Labor Day, I wrote a post about how I've found some solidarity against the anti-labor tendencies of #genAI. www.stefanhodgeskluck.com/blogs/some-s...

Yeah I mean especially because he's already defunding you. What've you got to lose?

Hypothetically, if giving Hitler Czechoslovakia meant that he would definitely never attack the rest of Europe, would you give Hitler Czechoslovakia?

Don't know why but I can't help but think that the best way to get more women having babies is to make the whole damn system more helpful to pregnant women and new mothers. But hey that's just me 🤷‍♂️

Reading @hcrichardson.bsky.social 's daily reports have been increasingly painful. Today's most chilling insight: troops in DC today is a path to stationing ICE at polling places. Regret how you voted in 2024? You might not get a second chance. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

Actual footage of me trying to solve the puzzle in a children's book this evening.

Folks, I'm feeling pretty burnt out these days. If someone can give me a reason to be excited about tech that doesn't involve hype speak about how much better all our lives are when AI is dictating every moment of every thing we do, I'd be grateful. Failing that, share some classic Simpsons memes.

"I saw online another restaurant owner suggested deploying one thousand microwaves for each chef. This sounds like a great idea. The restauranteur also has heavy investments in microwaves and might be over leveraged. I try not to think about that too much."

Holy shit we’re legitimately at “some cancer screenings are too woke.”

I just wanna rage scream for a second about how the same fucks who are raving about how much better AI is making us are proposing bullshit like this. #unionize www.wired.com/story/silico...

The "AI shaming is class gatekeeping" argument doesn't really work when the people who benefit most from AI are the people at the top.

We have too many streaming subscriptions that we rarely use, and I always think about which ones we can get rid of but I never pull the trigger. Thanks for making this decision easy @paramountpictures.bsky.social .

My people ;_;

We all need to remember--and remind people--that this is EXACTLY what people showed up for on November 5th. You may have wanted cheaper eggs, but they weren't really hiding the whole mass deportation agenda.

"Are you going to have your phone propose to your girlfriend for you? Are you going to write a prompt telling you how to vote? Are you going to have ChatGPT tell you how to write a birthday card for your daughter?" 💯

“I Teach Literature & Writing and I Embrace AI—You Should Too” —headline of every CHE article immediately forwarded by University subprovost to their email list called “Stakeholders”

Remember this next time the admin detains an opponent for "antisemitism".

New blog post! As AI becomes more and more prevalent in software development, we have to be cognizant of how it will create gaps in our ability to learn. Classicists among you will appreciate that I talk about reading Latin and Greek in here 🙂 www.stefanhodgeskluck.com/blogs/in-def...

1) Today's birthright citizenship/universal injunctions decision reminds me of a point @kimlanelaw.bsky.social made: The Trump admin's goal is not just to win the case, but to move fast and break things; to cause harms that cannot be undone. This is what universal injunctions are meant to stop.

It's because of GAVI that the world's poorest children are vaccinated against the world's worst scourges. Let's say in plainly. RFK Jr wants to kill children.

Stephen Miller is a modern-day Seianus.

Maybe the US doesn't deserve to host international events anymore 🤷‍♂️

Idk man but when the administration that tried to reject humanitarian aid for Los Angeles when it was burning tries to justify their illegal military occupation by saying they aren’t going to let LA burn it kinda sounds like bullshit

So, let me follow the "states rights" logic here: -intimidating peaceful protests: federal issue -helping disaster recovery: up to the states

REAL IMAGES from today's peaceful protest in Los Angeles…there was even a musical performance! Legacy media needs to start covering the reality and not just the provocative bits. @meidastouch.com

Fuck this guy.

New blog post! How do engineering practices solidify into rigid commandments? And how do engineering teams prevent this? www.stefanhodgeskluck.com/blogs/the-ch...

I remember doing this with @klhkhistorian.bsky.social and an 8-month old when we had a 6-hour layover at DEN. Not an experience I'm eager to relive.

Of course the worst people in the world are going to use AI to justify their actions, and of course AI will help them provide a veneer of accuracy for their findings.

Any news organization that covered that speech and didn't mention that he is clearly suffering from dementia & often incoherently rambling has abdicated their responsibility to truth in reportage. This abdication and failure, pretending he & his cult are normal, is a large part of how we got here.

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%.  Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

He got a REAL ID, is a citizen and was arrested and told his real id was fake. ICE is a disgrace.

maybe if the tech nerds had ever had a humanities class they'd understand that the way people interact with technology in Star Trek (speaking with computers, hand motions in the air,) are largely because those are ways to tell a story to viewers and/or look neato, not because they're actually useful

Ummm...it's 2025. This is the @rockies.com .
