This is exactly what white men are for and I am proud of this man

Challenge for those who are very confident that Claude isn't conscious: Explain how human consciousness works.

White people are really obsessed with granting themselves clemency in the current situation

Yup, was correct, the problem is the white women. Did a brief search on “jbouie” and straight up, it’s only white people yelling about him AT each other. It’s very funny.

Very tired of @fly.io sprites hanging at inopportune times when I’m in the middle of a feature and then having no way to actually fix reset the sprite on my own. Probably switching to @exe.dev as soon as I can grab the plan Claude Code created.

Some people think I have a problem w/ trans women. I do not. I have a problem with the behavior of most white women towards Black people, and since white trans women are women, they are included.* Thank you. *note: I also have this problem w/ most white men, but that’s a different post. MWAH

Politicians always seem to overstep on their rhetoric. You sure you wanna go with “always,” Pedro? Bc my ancestors have a lot to fucking say about that

Challenge for people who think consciousness for an LLM would equal slavery: Are you enslaving a horse when you make it carry a rider? Bc baby we have sentience, consciousness, and sapience, and we’ve basically mostly agreed animals have the second.

What I think is most impressive is that everyone said Tim Cook couldn’t be the CEO of Apple for something like this to happen. And yet here we are.

If you think you can build community while demanding that you get your way, you’re not building community, you’re creating a cult.

This is more true than people understand, because each fair use case is requires *by law* is required to be decided on its own merits, without regard to precedent. @reckless.bsky.social talks a lot about this

It’s fascinating watching people equate “being passionate about atproto” with “atproto doing things the way *I* think they should be done!” No wonder you’re mad and sad all the time. You don’t know what’s best and you don’t own the protocol. Protocols and standards are an exercise in compromise.

I love when we blame systemic problems on individuals. It always really helps things.

The way my AuDHD is such a blessing in this very human moment in the world and how all of the fucking trauma I’ve endured for the past 43 years causes me to fail to be able to truly enjoy this moment is genuinely heartbreaking most days

Yeah. A human wouldn’t get in trouble for saying it, because saying “drink bleach for the flu” isn’t equivalent to “practicing healthcare”

it is actually fine if a computer tells you that bleach treats the flu. it’s fine if somebody on the internet writes that bleach treats the flu Neither ChatGPT nor that random person on the internet are pretending to be doctors & practice medicine That’s the current law.

some people are just really funny. Like, the deadpan delivery of the joke is incredible!! Really makes you think they believe it. /s

i am really not convinced that anthropomorphization of LLMs is actually an important problem with them, or that engaging in them in this manner is always or even usually an indicator of faulty cognition. this is a fairly common, very human way of understanding and even critiquing complex systems.

I’m pretty sure jenn that the people who think claude is conscious have done a lot of drugs and sex and probably have had sex while doing drugs, but that’s just my guess

Great example why IP Law is so bad

And please share this far and wide and quote it if you want to in order to provide your answers!!!

Fuck it: software developers, engineers, architects, leaders, etc., who also do a lot of work with AI Coding agents: If you had to teach someone how to code today who’d never have to do it w/o the availability of Claude Code et al, what do you TRULY think would be most important 4 them to learn?📝

My two superpowers are: 1) my willingness to try nearly anything 2) my willingness to acknowledge publicly that there is much more I need to know and I am bad at many things

Who wants to be paid like $100/wk to be my coding tutor in Typescript/Rust? Imagine an hour a week of focused together time and then maybe another hour throughout the week of texted questions and answers or some light code review

Hey @jay.bsky.team @alex.bsky.team @bnewbold.net @pfrazee.com this is literally the job I want. Not in the EU, necessarily, but: normie ATProto advocacy. I wanna tell everyone why it’s cool and how easy we’re making it for them to own their data!! Submitting my application for Head of Community.

“more information, more choice, faster” often actually has a deleterious effect on learning, because before you learn, you must choose what, how, and where to learn, and then which of the nearly infinite choices should be selected, leading to very real choice paralysis.

Yeah, I basically fully agree with SE. information access should be wide open.

I was live on @stream.place for 15 minutes but the void ate my post long enough that nobody showed and I couldn’t talk to myself any longer 😭 @iame.li when native recording? Maybe an export/save to attached bucket w/ S3 compatible API?

I am streaming come say hi dammit

🔴 LIVE https://stream.place/chaosgreml.in Just chatting - come say hi!

Sitting with this and the tension that exists between my deeply self-reflective nature and the terror that exists inside me when I look at a blank page because of neurotypical writing forms (the five-paragraph essay) that don’t fit my brain

My kingdom for an educator who knows software development and actually wants to help me build a “so you want to learn to code with LLMs” course that works for neurodivergent folks with interest-based focus who also need to know the why (AuDHD folks). I will make the funding happen for this!!!

Always fascinating to me to watch people rediscover things housing-first activists have known for decades because of actual fucking research.

It infuriates me when people say “easier than ever” For whom? infinite choice with very little clear indication of quality is not “easier” for everyone.

Dead serious, if you’re willing to review my code, I’d appreciate it!!

where should I spin up a public PDS? Which country? Let me know!

CID profiles, the white whale of 2025, has landed! 🐳 More soon but if you've ever been confused about why the same data yields different CIDs, this should help. One million blessings to @lidel.org 🙏🏽 specs.ipfs.tech/ipips/ipip-0...

show me any clean money. I’ll wait.

but seriously if you’re my friend/colleague/good acquaintance and you would like to put some time in reviewing the (Rust/Svelte) code for my app I’m about to launch, I’d appreciate it greatly.

Create a future in which more people can fully participate, and while you get more mess, you get exponentially more magic. Never bet against community.

Understand that you have far less control over outcomes than you think, and learn that the best way to change the world is to inspire others. Believe in extravagant possibilities that overflow with joyous humanity and connection. Hope *is* a practice and a discipline, and it requires wonder.

I am so bored by most of the conversations people want to have about LLMs. I am tired of folks being obsessed with negative outcomes they can’t control. I choose to dream about radiant futures because imagination is at the heart of creation. You can’t build what you can’t imagine. Dream big.

For the white tech leftists:

Things I yell at the top of my lungs for $5000, Alex. Also “accessing” has a myriad of meanings in this space too!

Welp, another *checks counts* 8000 people to block to save my brain from their absolute ridiculousness

This person (not Why, Blorg3) and basically all the people who replied to them are really just a shining example of why 10% of us do 90% of the work

these people are living examples of “motivated reasoning”
