Sometimes I think it’s going to be the librarians who will save us all.

The big “why do you hate AI?” Thread got comments and quotes turned off, but here’s the main reason I hate AI: It’s being developed by the worst people on the planet solely to enrich themselves at the expense and labor of the world’s vulnerable populations. Everything else stems from that

I'm somewhere between 4 and 5, I think. I definitely can't close my eyes and picture things as if they were images or movies, it's more like I "feel" or "know" what I'm thinking about. If I see anything, it's a vague, blurry memory. Same when I'm reading books... 1/2

Åh som jeg elsker alle som skal fortelle oss hvordan vi skal bli mer effektive når det alltid. ALLTID. Betyr at man skal gi jobben sin videre til noen lenger ned i hierarkiet i bedriften, til partneren eller til prekariatet i det globale sør. www.aftenposten.no/karriere/i/O...

You're kidding me. We only rate dogs. This is a rainbow bagel. I really need you all to start sending us dogs, because we only rate dogs. Thank you... 12/10 (IG: mrpeanutbutter.69)

Not to be dramatic but the worst feeling in the world is when someone calls you so you can’t play on your phone for like 35 seconds until they get kicked to voicemail ugh

Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

Didn't expect to learn about sugar today, but using "too much sugar is bad for you" as a way to explain AI is pretty cool. "I worry we’re not paying attention to what AI is doing to our cognitive metabolism." Great reflections by @arcticdba.se!

Wanted to write a technical blog post today for the first time in over a year! 🤓 Ended up spending the entire evening updating my Hugo templates because I haven't paid attention to all the new features and breaking changes for a year 🫩 (I'm still a happy nerd, just not the way I planned 😅)

In an era filled with tech dipshits who never developed emotionally past the age of 13 & use their wealth to become odious monsters ... ... listen to Steve Wozniak.

Earlier today, I was notified that someone was at my door. This is who it was:

Still thinking about that time many years ago when I walked into a speaker dinner and a well-known speaker enthusiastically ran over, hugged me, said it was great to finally meet me, and then saw another well-known speaker and his wife walk in and suddenly realized I was not that speaker's wife 😬

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

Extremely upset that a throw-away XKCD joke somehow became the organizing principle for the Internet.

As a Microsoft MVP specialized on Microsoft Fabric, yesterday was the first time I ever heard of Fabric IQ. From the Microsoft Ignite keynote. If you feel like you can't keep up, remember it's NOT YOU. None of us can. We barely have time to skim the surface before the next shiny thing is announced.

The massive Cloudflare outage was caused by a missing WHERE clause in a SQL statement. Oopsie 🙃 blog.cloudflare.com/18-november-...

While the rest of the world is trying to figure out what the heck #FabricIQ is, I'm happily updating my #MicrosoftFabric solutions to use the new SharePoint shortcuts feature instead of the old approach using APIs. Sometimes the quality of life improvements are the real game-changers 🤓

I firmly believe that Microsoft is maxing out their corporate jargon fluff to force their users to use AI just to understand what their AI stuff does.

This was Pixel's response when I asked "do you want to go outside" at 7:54am on a dark, cold, snowy November morning in Norway and... same, girl, same 😴❤️ #PixelThePoochon

Jeg skrev om den kompetansen man faktisk trenger i språkmodell-samfunnet (spoiler: det er ikke å være god til å prompte)

Enjoy your dash.

Just spent 15 minutes trying to join a Teams meeting. Multiple rounds of sign-ins, 2FA, accept updated terms, "setting things up for you", getting signed out, signing back inn, more 2FA, "oops we couldn't switch to that or" aaaaand... no luck. Yay. I guess I'm done for the day!

Pixel is also participating in movember, apparently #PixelThePoochon

Ooooof, Norwegian November and/or seasonal affective disorder hitting me like a truck this week. Life is good, thankfully, but all I want to do is curl up under a warm blanket and sleeeeep. My brain is slow and fuzzy. Struggling to concentrate. Why can't we just hibernate like smart mammals? 😴

Du hørte kanskje at NTB publiserte en KI-generert melding sist uke. Visste du at KI-sammendraget endret sikkerhetstrussel fra fiendtlige statlige aktører til ekstemvær og aldrende teknologi? Slik ideologisk vridning viser at KI-bias kan være en sikkerhetsrisiko. www.aftenposten.no/meninger/deb...

I learned Power BI from people who shared their work for free, wrote articles, and made videos. And I am incredibly grateful for that. Now I try to do the same and give back to the community: examples/videos/articles: www.porcu.bi #PowerBI #DataViz #DataVisualization

I spent a few hours playing around in the new Affinity Studio tonight, and it felt so good being creative just because, without any end goals 🤩🎨 For 10+ years I've limited myself to "professional" and "useful for others". I want web and graphic design to become a joyful, fun hobby again 😊

Good thing no one uses Microsoft Excel for anything related to legal, regulatory or compliance business functions www.theverge.com/news/761338/...

I'm tired of the pressure of always striving for more, better, faster. Money, career, productivity. I'm a human who lives, not a machine to be tuned. For a while, I want to just exist comfortably, do meaningful things, rest, enjoy life with loved ones, be creative for the fun of it.

This is the Halloween content we need 🎃

My daughter was annoyed that i generated a picture for my talk yesterday. Normally avoid AI generated images but it was a talk about vibe coding @aifortherestofus.live. So she drew me an alternative picture. This is a software developer that has replaced their keyboard with a tab button.

Good morning, may your day be as lovely as this sunrise 💛🧡❤️

Jeg vil ikke ha lavere skatt med 2 kr dagen. Jeg vil ha bra helsevesen, barnehage, skole, eldreomsorg og miljøpolitikk.

Some HUGE improvements here between #MicrosoftFabric and #Dataverse with the Fabric Link integrations. Awesome read for those in this space. www.microsoft.com/en-us/power-...

Windows 10 goes out of support today. My fave useless fact about w10 is that the iconic blue desktop background is a *photograph* - not CGI. Tiny 'making of' vid here - youtu.be/_2RacX9DgWM...

If you need me, I'll be over here with my cute dog and the man of my dreams, laughing, loving, dancing to 🎶✨ on the land, the sea, the sky ✨🎶 and just enjoying living life to the fullest in my own little happy bubble 🥰

You can't logic your way out of being burnt out. Unless you're me. Who should be able to do it and it's a personal failing that I can't
