You do not have to hand IT to the techbros: Coding is *not* the "special case" where genAI is a good idea.

I've spent the afternoon writing an AI Policy for my projects. It struck me that I really hate dealing with this at all.

I hate that the shittiest people in the tech industry created something that wreaks havoc with the internet, our privacy, our shared resources, our freedom. Yet, this insufferable hype and FOMO just permeates society on a daily basis.

There are useful ways to use it, within a fairly narrow scope. But not more than I'd be perfectly happy if it just went away.

It’s the Boorista’s favourite time of the year, and it’s mine too: there’s something about the shortening days and the cooling air and the fact that I can drink a hot filter coffee without getting all sweaty that feels so special right now, so I decided to make a little bookmark of this ghost barista with some of their favourite coffee making accoutrements. They love a well-drawn espresso, of course, but there’s something special about the quiet, meditative ritual of hand-pouring through a drip filter.

This lil autumn coffee enjoyer is now a bookmark, so of you’re a lover of coffee and pleasantly ghostly things, or know someone who is, you can get your hands on one of these bad boys for yourself! What’s your favourite way to make coffee at home?

That's kind of funny, because last night it occurred to me that I should do this with one particular service today, but remembering these things as you're trying to go to sleep isn't a good plan, so thank you!

I just hope that it works out better than my last few attempts to cancel my uberone account, because I always remember 2 days before the account renews, and they sneakily don't allow it 48 hours beforehand. 😡

@manchicken @kestral And let's not forget that LLMs are built on plagiarism.

"“The goal of GDL Exposed is to push back against the neo-Nazi organization Goyim Defense League by unmasking their activists who travel around the country harassing people,” a representative of the site told Raw Story. “The GDL is led by Jon Minadeo, whose primary source of income is video chatting with children and rebroadcasting those recordings to thousands of angry neo-Nazis, without the knowledge or consent of the children or their parents.

“These videos have included support for mass shooters such as the Antioch High School shooter in Nashville, who was found to have shared a GDL flyer. Data Republican is right. We do hope to ruin these people’s lives. They are predators who would kill every non-white and Jewish person on earth if they could.”"

Soy consciente de lo que se está jugando en Madrid, pero quiero hacer una revista de prensa de cómo han cubierto hoy los medios locales la manifestación de los vecinos de Torrero contra los centros de datos de Microsoft en Zaragoza. Tanto @nocentrosdedatosaragon como la Plataforma Salvemos los Pinares se lo han currado mucho este último año, y creo que se merecen ver plasmado ese esfuerzo en esta recopilación de piezas

@alter_kaker

for non-specialists, myself included, there's also an editor's summary. (i'm not able to evaluate the science in this either ofc)

@rockario do the candidate statements include endorsements?

I got two fountain pens and two inks, then put the green ink in the brown pen, and the brown ink in the green pen, but turns out I prefer both the brown ink AND brown pen and don't want to waste ink by emptying and refilling it, so now I'm vaguely annoyed.

Well, it got one thing right 😂

(my condolences to the runners-up—it was a stiff competition)

OH. right! i get it now!

i get why AI is so depressing to me. because covid already shrunk my world to almost nothing, where almost all of my life revolves around socializing and watching videos on the internet (which is being ruined by AI) and creating creative works through coding (which is being ruined by AI), often using open source tools and libraries (which are being ruined by AI)

i already had so little and now even that is being rotted away before my eyes
