i can tell you right now if the parties were reversed, republicans would be using the word “surrender” instead of “deal”

30 billion street and environmental scans from Pokémon GO players were used to train US military drones www.resetera.com/threads/15...

I've been a broken record on this for three years and I'll be a broken record for as long as that fucking website exists: X is a viciously racist far-right organising platform that ONLY WORKS because a huge number of centrists, lefties and progressivs cannot stop propping it up

There's even a word for such people: scabs

no no you don’t understand, we only used AI for the part of the production pipeline where we didn’t want to pay employees, it’s different

Demoliri 0013, a mighty fine #ipa #beer

The first game that truly scared me was en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aliens:..., a quite obscure shooter from 1980s. Not a horror, but the sound of a xenomorph walking in the same room as you was terrifying.

Yes. Using a computer now feels like this at all times.

One of the more misogynistic takes currently trending in the AI policy space is "women use less AI than men because they have less tech literacy" Ok but have you considered that women use less AI than men because we have more tech literacy?

Here's the serious bit for anyone who'd rather skip the 4000 words of jokes

It's heartbreaking to see how amoral, and deluded, software workers are. Maybe I should really pivot to something else, at least for the time being.

Tangentially, it continues to bug me that people are willing to structure information for machines that they weren't willing to structure for other people, e.g. coworkers.

No compliance. Ever. Our trans siblings, we will fight for you.

The thing is, I don't want to treat people like machines and machines like people.

It's a bit funny though that Google is making themselves irrelevant like this.

@reiunion.bsky.social is asking you to boycott this!

It's really tiring to see how AI cult replaces useful work in software tools. For the past few months updates to my IDE consist in 80% of changes like "✨ we made it easier for you to accidentally delete production databases ✨".

Had convos w/ multiple people in the past 4 days who DID NOT KNOW that 1. AI doesn't "think" or know anything; it's a probability machine 2. It was created using massive amounts of work stolen from actual people including me 3. The environmental costs are astronomical Spread the word, every time!

lost another one, boys

nostalgia is remembering when you didn’t have to pay bills and attributing that feeling to mario

i also remember when a google exec told the stadia team that they were happy to invest in stadia for the next 10 years lmao

Apparently I don't hate #AI enough to be on the list 😢

GenAI is plunder, pass it on (a comic)

Went to see Project Hail Mary yesterday, and I haven't been so disappointed since One Battle After Another. PHM feels like you are being sold a scammy product, music is constantly trying to force feels onto you because the movie cannot do its job.

when i speak of "good-faith adversarial collaboration" i speak of this

Unless AI is controlling Meta's staffing, then it's not responsible for job losses. Even if it were, I'd argue it's the responsibility of people who put it in such a position.

How I wish this was true, especially the "user friendly" part.

Can't wait for the news section of @wtyppod.bsky.social recorded yesterday.

"ty to chyba lubisz"

I need a #Onion headline like: Depressed artist admits that their most beloved hit song is "the shittiest crap ever made".

"gotcha"ing an autistic person into eating something with an ingredient they don't like to prove they can't tell is like me spitting in your drink to prove you can't tell that you've just drank my spit

Plot idea: A competition titled "Oppression Olympics" ,where you win if you are most (stereotypically) oppressed. All is predictable until the finale, where disabled, neurodivergent, marginalized, displaced black trans woman faces a surprise challenger: a middle-class WASP boy.

I feel like I'm going insane aftermath.site/one-piece-zoro...

Played through #Dispatch last two evenings, and it's a great piece of art, but a bit disappointing game. The realisation that in the end most of the choices don't matter was a big let down 😞.

Grunt work is work independently of your skills, it's a way of staying grounded. Delegating it to slopmachine is a dangerous game that I do not want to participate in.

Since there's no day for "unspecified developmental disorders", I'll use today as the day: hello folks, my name is Krzysztof and I'm bonkers.

I keep seeing "all authors use AI, the real issue is they're being forced to be sneaky about it" headlines. Full stop No. This is a lie peddled for normalization. It's schoolyard-level pressure tactics "C'mon, all the cool kids are already doing it. We won't tell. It's fine. We're on your side."

Fscking finally there's the final episode of #wintermute

have you seen the new supply chain vuln? don't update tubu. it's literally on heebee. they got poodee's deps. they infiltrated dippy. roll back weeno. disable scripts in ~/.gumpyrc. it's in poob. do not install poob. do not update poob. uninstall poob right now. poob has it in for you.

Happy International Transgender Day of Visibility! We're everywhere and we're cool. Here's the trans pride flag 🏳️‍⚧️ on a mid-90s Pentium running DOS.

Maybe I wouldn't be such a smarmy condescending asshole if people didn't dismiss my brilliant arguments out of hand!!!

I'm wondering if #code written right after TZ change is of worse quality than normally. 💤

see you there

Any #Linux aficionado wants to help a total n00b set up #openldap on #Debian?

🇪🇺They’ve forced a re-vote: tomorrow at 11:00 the European Parliament votes again on #chatcontrol mass scanning. Socialists and Liberals are divided, ECR now with EPP — and a quick phone call can still change minds! Last chance to call and ask: 👉 https://fightchatcontrol.eu

Imagine how safe it would be if cyclists weren't jerks ;)

I have a joke about the Fates. Everybody gets it eventually.
