I have a meh/hate relationship with AI

It's still early here, but this made my day #sciencefuckingrocks

I am building the ✨ULTIMATE✨ Blender knowledge vault!! This will be a 100% *free* resource for artists of ALL levels with every little tip and trick to 3D available on the internet! The first version is already OUT! Check it out here: www.crashsune.com/blender-tips...

Working on a long term project to answer just how much money was spent on anti-trans political ads between 2018-2025. The numbers on Meta are pretty staggering. Matt Walsh alone spent over $8 million on anti-trans ads followed by $3.5 million by the Daily Wire and $2.6 million by PragerU.

Want

& I so crave a simple version of commerce where I can exchange a fair price for something of value (or the reverse) & walk away without intense expectations that I'll give my time or emotion or data to someone's "transformational" Project

Being an entrepreneur/freelancer is “not for the weak”, is a sentiment I see a lot. But neither is having a crappy boss, I might counter. So what to do, if you’re struggling one way or the other?

Wow, just popping out of the canvas!

Maybe it's a new hobby. Maybes it's a ✨ Midlife Crisis ✨

when do you decide a product is failed / not worth building more?

...taking notes...

starting a Bluesky group for people actually building with AI. solo founders, small business owners using AI to run real operations. not hype, just builders. comment 'in' if you want an invite #buildinpublic #indiehacker #AI #AItools #SaaS #solopreneur #founder #smallbusiness #nocode #automation

Dev team friction:

Just yummy

Ouch

Part of the reason I got familiar with digital accessibility criterion, even though I’m a designer, is I can use those as a tool to prevent teams from designing major issues in. Instead of it being my opinion v theirs I can say “this isn’t accessible” and that makes it easier to make designs better

“When mayors in other cities ask me how #Copenhagen afforded to invest in its cycling networks, I ask them how on earth they have been able to afford highway projects. We invested in bike lanes because that was the cheapest option.” What the world can learn from Copenhagen’s cycling revolution.

A hunch: saying out loud that you suffer from imposter syndrome is taboo among men - especially those who dream about becoming their own boss. Because business and leadership is not for the "weak", right? So if you're feeling weak...

Working on another type of connection 👀 I think I have found a CSS cheating code "border-shape" 🤩

Also curious about this!

And yes - stuff does break!

This also tracks

Hmmm...

Not asking for essential help is also part of imposter syndrome. Anything that limits you or pushes back against your forward progress is likely part of your imposter syndrome. Solve for the resistance. Think new solutions for yourself. Overcome it. #writingcommunity #booksky #impostersyndrome

Feeling like a fraud, even with all your knowledge? 🤯 This short dives into imposter syndrome and why it might actually be a good thing. You're probably doing better than you think! Check it out 👇 #ImposterSyndrome #CareerGrowth https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FuF3XwJWQpg

"A yawning pit, a crevasse of despair"! Well put...

Writers talk about it...

Apparently, scientists can talk about it...

Wanting to put your idea out there, but lacking the courage: I see a lot of solo-devs/founders present their projects with self-confidence, and I envy that. But I also know I have the theoretical and practical background to do what they do. Frustrating. #impostersyndrome

Representing possible alternatives lies at the heart of moral judgment. As LLMs become embedded in our reasoning processes, they change the set of alternatives we bring to mind. 💭 Our #CogSci2026 paper shows that AI might be making us judge people harsher. ⚖️ osf.io/preprints/ps...

I write a text by hand, with my usual tone and voice. Run it through ZeroGPT out of curiosity, 53% AI-generated. I, feeling some AI-shame, rewrite it. I check again. 75% AI-generated. Sigh. This, from someone who knows these things are just probability machines.

LOL - in the top 100% 😆 I got a 315 points knowledge score on this year’s #StateOfCSS survey! I have used 23 features, and knew 17 more, placing me in the top 100% of all respondents. Can you beat my score? It did feel swifter to complete this year. Go go! survey.devographics.com/survey/state...

Maybe it’s not about you

Because I have the right community’s attention, this is your periodic reminder that I maintain the world’s largest collection of accessibility tools for developers and I want more. I know I’ve missed a ton in the last year. Ty carry on 🙌

A most wholesome thread. Go read.

This is the way - no doubt about it

Impostor syndrome seems to be very common among artists, game devs, writers, and other creatives - judging from what I see here at bsky. What about entrepreneurs - existing or would-be? Anyone out there struggling with this? #MentalHealth #Entrepreneurs #ImpostorSyndrome

I appreciate this sort of stuff

Did a search for impostor syndrome, and uh, feeling less uniquely incompetent right now: bsky.app/search?q=imp...

Amazing for the price (or any price). Just get it.

I...feel this.

If you like avant- ambient rock metal jazz. This is a band I'm in with among others, the long time music director for Public Enemy. I really love this group. Most people (even musician friends) don't know I'm in this one. espdisk.com/deepstaria-e... www.youtube.com/watch?v=MlAE...

Big tech companies have projects that are purely for PR purposes and will never actually go beyond a bit of research. Datacenters in space are (imo, not speaking for my employer) exactly that. It sounds cool and futuristic, but it's not gonna happen.

I never had a lot of confidence in myself but I guess since I exist in a timeline where PewDiePie builds open source software, the pure randomness of existence might give me a shot ?

We have an API! My little open source sensing project finally shipped it's api for our sensor data after a lot of work from different volunteers and myself. Find those bugs for us here: github.com/Ribbit-Netwo...

This.
