Old Fucking Punk @lwriemen@librem.one

Happy Sommeranfang oder so. Kommt gut durch die nächste Zeit, passt auf euch und eure Mitmenschen auf (auch auf die Tiere, wenn ihr die Möglichkeit habt, stellt Wasser raus ❤️).
Falls ihr das Wetter gerade liebt: ich gönn es euch von ganzem Herzen, aber viele haben bei den Temperaturen Probleme, ob mit oder ohne Behinderung/chronische Erkrankung 💜.

@davidgerard it’s curious that “nuanced” is often thrown, sorry, flung like a steaming wet turd, at people who have arrived at a strong “NoAI” position after considering the many risk, environmental, and societal problems with AI, and any (if any) “benefits” (or, more specifically, if the outputs are “beneficial” to *any* degree).

In what way is that consideration and arrival at an anti-AI position *not* nuanced, or reasonable, or thorough.

It’s almost as if their handwaving “it’s good for certain uses”, or “but you just have to review the output”, or “it has gotten to know my needs in my field” is meant to hypnotise us into submission and make us say one of two things:

• “Oh, I never thought of it that way! Wow, how insightful!” or
• “Yes, I do acknowledge there is a spectrum of suitability, and I accept your use, or the use you posit, is an acceptable use for AI.”

It’s not a dialog. To be considered “nuanced” your view *has to* allow AI acceptable use carve outs.

And that introduces AI’s own version of “the ineffective centrist”, and AI’s own version of the Overton Window.

Huh, now why do they seem such appropriate parallels…?

Marcia Howard of the Minneapolis Federation of Educators says trade unionists, including educators, are among those detained in Minnesota’s federal anti-ICE indictments.

“I find it telling that they are going after unionists.”

I'm so fucking tired of hearing these murderous bastards say that the people they killed 'were not targets', as if that is a coherent statement.

When you drop bombs, you've targeted. Period. You are responsible for what you destroy. Period.

I’d be very wary of restructuring all of education programming, and media around a technology whose economic viability beyond a few months to a year is highly dubious and whose long term sustainability is contingent on figuring out a way to rearchitect it from scratch on a shoestring budget

But what do I know?

i dont understand how the artists, the digital painters, the musicians, the voice actresses, and everyone else on the planet realizes genAI is just plagiarizing. but software developers are like "ah this is brand new code that no one ever had before" ITS LITERALLY JUST TUXRACER

> I feel he’d also appreciate the swipe up gesture on the iPhone, which is a masterclass in how to design an interaction

This is my one constant quibble with pretty much every otherwise wonderful and thoughtful design essay that I've read. Have you ever tried to help somebody with even minor motor control issues navigate the gesture-laden interface of an iPhone?

I should add: There's nothing wrong with shipping something in tiny bits in proportion to what your client needs. But uh, you've gonna bring something better than this to the party if you're going to lecture people on not using AI enough.

Saw a guy telling everyone about his all-agent workflow on HN. Credit to the guy, he didn't publish anonymously.

Less credit to the guy, all his scoping and consulting links have no availability ever, there doesn't appear to be a launched product, and the privacy policy hasn't had the [YOUR COMPANY NAME] slots filled in.

This has happened every single time someone that swears by "no human in the loop" programming has shown me an artefact.

"Remigration" is literally just ethnic cleansing rebranded and the British press is just going along with that?

This moron is going to start filing bills terminating funding for transportation, movies about Transylvanian vampires and trans-Atlantic relations long before she ever bothers to learn what a transgenic mouse is.

AP's piece on Reflecting Pool algae is a perfect of example of how Big Journalism allows itself to be a conduit for Trump world's lies. The phrase "without offering substantiation" -- better than nothing -- doesn't make up for being a stenographer for deceit.

After months of "not making videos due to being excessively On The Farm," I'm rolling one out tomorrow!

About how Jane Austen explains a lot about "industrial" agriculture! (Bc she wrote about rural life & how economics/politics out there actually work)
