Discussion
In a touching show of solidarity among the tech oligarchy, Google, Meta, and TikTok are helping Xitter to suppress Alex Gibney's new documentary about Elon Musk, according to the Hollywood Reporter. A fool-proof plan for the "free speach absolutist".
If plants have feelings where are the plants rights groups? You'd think one would have been set up by now with all that concern in the comment sections 😅
Woke from a dream about having a terrible haircut. I have been almost entirely bald for 3 decades 🤷♂️
@Remittancegirl and how about the handles?

@hananc totally!
@nicorikken
Such a great #weblate shirt 😍
Voy leyendo todas estas historietas de IAs descontroladas que hacen cosas chungas sin que sus dueños lo impidan por simple maldad negligente o por malvada negligencia, que viene a tener el mismo efecto; veo el careto de sus riquísimos dueños, como en la noticia que ahora leía en @el_pais...

... y no puedo dejar de recordar al Mickey Mouse aprendiz de brujo en la película "Fantasía" de Walt Disney. En el ratón no había maldad como en los tecnooligarcas pero sí también deseo de poder. En todos ellos, eso sí, mucha ignorancia y falta de responsabilidad.
@announcements @jerrej seems to me people often see blurry line between promotion and discussion.
as you know i research ai quite a bit. even wrote agentic tooling and mcps to diagnose jail/bhyve systems on freebsd. talking about what you're working on sometimes is misinterpreted as promotion. several occasions i received negative comments for openly talking about research. i didn't bother you with it since it was petty at best, bargain basement at worst.
found out others in the community use it but rarely discuss due to it being too confrontational. we all talk in private groups now (peaceful and less noise).
(ramble end...)
you've got a nice place and ive always valued our interactions. at the end of the day its you're cafe and we're all drinking the cofe. i hope whatever cycle of this assumed turmoil passes for you soon.
whether you like ai or are a hardened purist, you've always been fair and kind with me even when we disagree. please don't change.
cat for scale.
@jae @announcements @jerrej Don't worry, nothing will change. There's a specific reason why I decided to add that rule, but I'd rather not disclose it publicly (yet).
I wonder if I maybe don't say this enough: the gas-fired data centre boom is *planned* but not *inevitable*.
In fact, the plans are fragile, and this petrotech dream only works if everything lands with perfect timing and poise.

@ketan “perrotech” is a good shorthand. Will be using that, thanks

@feld @announcements @hbons That person, the one who created the images, asked me to remove them.
I tried to convince them everything was fine, but this person was clear enough: "you can't use them anymore".
As you know, I protect the community even when I'm attacked personally. This happens quite often. But I can't force people to leave their work online, if they don't want to.
About the random internet strangers: if I had to change something about the Cafe every time a random stranger pops in and complains, I'd have to change it multiple times a day 😆
Trump wants to remind everyone that he is very much against communism.
Remind me, who platformed the leader of the Chinese Communist Party in Washington this week?
I'm only wondering when he falls on his face; gets impeached; spends the rest of his worthless life performing fellatio to guards in Guantanomo?
Feieraaaaaaaaahhh!!
I was given the recipe for the off-white glaze I use by another potter and it was a game changer for me. Before that, I was using glossy opaque glazes that completely covered my red stoneware clay whose color I loved so much. For years, I would compensate by wiping glaze away from certain sections to let the iron rich clay body show. Finding this glaze made my work more subtle and rustic, recalling antiqued or rusted surfaces worn with age. #ceramics #pottery
Which of these best describes how AI is involved in your software development at the moment?
The tech oligarchs are rallying around Elon Musk to block a filmmaker from advertising a deeply reported documentary that lays bare what a slimy -- and dangerous -- person Musk is. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/digital/elon-musk-documentary-trailer-rejected-tiktok-youtube-1236710259/
(Meanwhile, Corporate Journalism continues to support him. Of course.)
@EUCommission if there ever could be a favorite language, it would be childish!
