if you don't like crypto you're transphobic is the new if you don't like plagiarism machines you're ableist

or the other way, perhaps: i'm sure i've heard that one from crypto grifters before crypto collapsed.

“The stock market is at an all-time high.”
“But groceries are—”

Alex Hood illustrates an economist who tries to excuse sky high grocery prices with stock market performance, ignoring the realities of our lived experience.

Tariffs are the leverage. Public health rules, climate policies and protections from Big Tech are the targets.

Last year, Sarah Lazare examined how Trump turned trade policy into a global protection racket.

If you agree with @Codeberg 's decision over banning LLM-generated code, why not support them financially with a membership?

https://join.codeberg.org/

For €2/month you can support an important organisation taking a stand against AI, providing a #FOSS alternative to big corporate GitHub. Many nerds here can afford that.

As an active member of the Codeberg e.V. nonprofit, you also get a voice and a vote in how Codeberg is run. It was the members who voted to support the resolution against slopcode.

#Codeberg #git #NoAI #FuckAI

I don't get why people who want to use LLMs to generate code are grumpy because Codeberg doesn't want to host it.

Surely they can just use their LLMs to generate a replacement for Codeberg, which they can operate on whatever basis they choose?

I support Wiki Workers United, and I encourage others to do the same.

Its all about "free markets" and "let the market decide" until you have competition that shows how full of bullshit you are and then you run to daddy Trump saying to stop these bad Chinese models from entering our market.

The irony of OpenAI and Anthropic running to the government to save them whenever there’s competition and it’s this government that complains about “handouts” and communism.

According to Jack Ohman, Trump is sleeping through the war in Iran that he started. https://inthesetimes.com/article/trump-is-sleeping-through-his-war-on-iran-comics-jack-ohman

It's been a HUGE week in diarrhea news!

Between an FDA false positive, the Taylor Farms lawyer lyin' about the false positive, & CDC is slow because DOGE fired too many of the poop nerds who worked there?

It's been one of the juiciest weeks in diarrhea history. Time for a deep dive 🏊 So I'm doing a livestream at 5pm US eastern time today (Friday), on "What HAPPENED this week!?"

Whatever benefits LLMs/AI have given us have to be weighed against the absolutely catastrophic effects it's had on just about every aspect of society.

Like, congratulations on writing your software tests with marginally less effort, I guess. All it cost was complete economic ruin and the destruction of basically all standards and norms. I'm glad for you, though.
