Skills must be practiced to be maintained. Your brain will gladly unlearn some trivial shit that it does not think matters, and offloading that kind of process onto a thinking rock causing skill decline has gotta be the most obvious shit ever… sci-fi writers had that figured out 60+ years ago.

Politiken lad være med at agere mikrofonholder for nynazister i 2025 challenge (impossible)

I think @getwired.com puts it well here. We've gotta get better, collectively, at saying 'Hang on, slow down a bit'. MIT Sloan were apparently completely shocked I challenged the 90% AI malware report (now and still deleted) but.. they shouldn't be, it should be business as usual to check things.

it's the classic programmer trap: just because something works in our domain doesn't mean it will work in other domains! "how hard could it be, it's only rocket science" etc the sheer hubris to think that a robot that is 80% right will be good enough for other, less fault-tolerant domains.

I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

Not wanting to disappoint you so much that it lies is the last quality I want in a computer.

what i love is that in 1990 judas priest got brought to trial over the claim that subliminal messages in the recording "better by you better than me" caused two suicides and now in 2025 openai seems to be generating a suicide a week with its superliminal messages and the US government is funding it

I'm old. If you're not, listen to this. Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder. Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever. It's literally never been more important.

finally mastering barre chords was this moment for me. it's a skill i had to learn and perfect and was so immensely satisfying to finally be able to play consistently. the robot will never know this feeling

If you invented a robot that sometimes cleaned my house really well & quickly & saved me lots of work—but *often* just moved things around without really cleaning—& *sometimes* added germs *to* the surfaces—such that just to be safe, I always had to clean after it I don’t think I’d buy that robot

Fellow writers constantly closing pop-up windows while we work, Emma Thompson feels our pain! ♥️

The irony here is painful. Alice Wong wrote a column for Vogue called Disability Visibility. You can still find all her writing for Vogue under her author name. But *Disability Visibility* - also the name of the advocacy group she launched - has been erased. Exactly how disabled people often are.

Every time I post anything negative about AI, there’s always someone in my mentions “have you used RAG”, “Are you using the latest model that was released 2 hours ago”. I fucking presented on RAG yesterday. LLMs are an interesting tool, but not a trillion dollar industry. I swear it’s like crypto.

i’ve been saying AIs main utility to capitalists is to allow them to bring back all the racism sexism ableism transphobia and every other bigotry under the sun we’ve managed to mitigate in the last century and go “computer did it 🤷‍♀️” when called out for it

It’s wild to think the BurntToast #PowerShell module has been making Windows notifications for 10 years. In our latest PowerShell Podcast episode, I got to chat with its creator @toastit.dev about finally hitting version 1.0 after a decade of community love and iteration. 1/2

One of the many things that gets me about the Louvre password is you KNOW there are a bunch of world-weary sysadmins who gave up the fight years ago bc administrators kept complaining about a real password being TOO HARD & now they're simultaneously like 'I fucking TOLD YOU' & also in huge trouble.

Everyone knows the ai bubble is about to collapse us into a depression like the last 4 once in a lifetime economic downturns in the last 25 years combined, becoming the main plot point.

Sounds a lot like Theranos leadership anno 2015

Western media will be like "Israel explores limits of latest ceasefire"

I treat my employer’s devices as a hostile entity in my network, and I treat my devices as hostile to my employer’s network. Plus I already over-work, so I’m not even putting work email or slack on my personal phone. Welcome to buy me a second phone if it’s necessary.

Torment nexus is when we're not about me?

They hanged the people who got us the 8-hour workday.

I can't think of a single other time that an ostensible engineering productivity tool has needed to be forced into adoption like this so widely across the industry. It's like if everybody were mandating Git or Kubernetes uptake as part of performance reviews.

"I DON'T NEED YOU TO FUCKING REWRITE WHAT I'VE JUST WRITTEN!"

Oh holy fuck this is why you red team shit before you go to prod you absolute bunch of weirdos. #infosec

"Friends" is a beloved American sitcom that aired from 1994 to 2004, following six young adults—Rachel, Ross, Monica, Chandler, Joey, and Phoebe—living in New York City. The show explores their friendships, romances, careers, and personal growth over ten seasons.

I personally am significantly more worried about the effects of LLMs and AI video slop on children’s brain development than I am about even social media. I am very worried that our school systems and laws are pushing kids toward AI artificial “friends” while banning social apps.

Recently on Discord I saw some talk about watching for file changes. I whipped up a quick Wait-File function that allows you to setup a FileSystemWatcher in #PowerShell to monitor for specific events (Files added/changed/removed) and perform an action when detected. Perhaps you may find it useful:

I've only ever fired one person during my career. Guy on first month probation expressed his disgust over my "treating the canteen staff like regular colleagues" the very first time we had lunch together. Easiest decision I had to take during my short stint as a manager.

Where is the retribution for Israel breaking the ceasefire? Or are we all just pretending it’s not happening and waiting for Hamas to do something so Israel’s massacre of Palestinians can pick up the pace again?

I can’t help but think today about how many young people were savaged on social media, branded as anti-semites and abandoned by their schools for daring to call for a ceasefire. I remember saying that it was the first time I can remember that calling for ceasefire was regarded as a hostile demand.

it's kinda weird that all the software i am expected to use for work are all written by distributed teams, go, python, postgres, linux, chrome, k8s etc and despite being told "the best teams work in an office together" i don't know of any software i use that's actually written that way

The "cognitive decline and brain damage from repeat COVID infections" and "easy to use robot that makes slop and melts your critical thinking skills" is a hell of a combo in a post-fact media ecosystem

"we cant uninvent ai" no we cant but we couldnt uninvent nfts either and nobody gives a fuck about them anymore

One day the industry will recognize the drawbacks of AI agents and nondeterministic automation, and rediscover the UNIX philosophy of chaining together small purpose built tools in a low cost and predictable way, otherwise known as shell scripts.

So cool that whenever someone asks the president, “did you eat the Lindbergh baby” he’s like, “no but I’d be allowed to, I have the right to, I might do it later”

A note to Europeans: Telling an American in 2025 that your dream is to move to the USA is like telling a German in 1933 that your dream is to move to Germany. I will assume you're either a fascist, or an idiot.

Honestly this is so cool. Finally the sheen is coming off this damn company. A great week for OpenAI - releasing the most expensive model of all time that also commits copyright violations as a service, you spent $9.2bn on compute in six months, and you can’t make a product better than the rabbit r1

Soon you can have your sushi delivered by the same drones that shot toddlers in the head while they were scraping spilled flour off the ground

Oh god, they actually put in the newspaper that I got mad

OpenAI genuinely doesn't care about any of the negative impacts of its products. all they care about is profit and creating their walled-off corpo-monarchical thielite tech utopia

"Does anyone have any questions?" "If you breathe in dead flesh, does that count as a form of cannibalism?" "I mean... about the meeting"

tired: it's always DNS inspired: ICANN feel it coming in the air tonight

If you're accepting the framing that there is an 'autism problem' that needs a 'solution', then you're a fucking eugenicist even if you disagree with Trump and Kennedy Jr about what that solution is. Fuck off.
