I didn’t have to use ChatGPT to know it tells you that you’re right even when you’re wrong. I’ve talked to people about their LLM usage, read reporting and studies about it, and seen what people have shared online. The idea that you HAVE to use something yourself to critique it is not always true

Every time friends tell me it's probably safe to visit the States I have to remind them that we are literally experiencing an ongoing threat of imperialism or annexation.
It seems silly because he is silly -- but this is a country invading other nations (AND THEIR OWN) to kill or kidnap people.
My last bit of venting for the day is I can't believe how fast we've gone from companies saying "we should create things that customers want so they will give us money and enjoy our brand" to "fuck you! eat shit! we put shit in everything and you'll eat it! die!"
I am also a published game programmer, designer, and art director (among other roles)
my god
how many things do I have to be professionally good at to get a job that respects me!!!!
you can pay me 1/500th of what I saved my company last year and make me happy as a clam!!!!!
if anybody wants to hire a kind, thoughtful, experienced web front-end engineer (or game programmer & designer) who is happy to mentor, work with clients, and participate in the design process while also caring deeply about coding things the right way, by hand, as often as possible…
Must read: xAI is poisoning Mississippi, captured via thermal imaging.
The designers behind some of the best RPGs ever made have spent almost 30 years primarily making Mario sports games. That's got to stop. www.avclub.com/mario-tennis...
there is literally nothing wrong with being trans and anyone who says otherwise is a fascist who would kill and/or enslave your entire family at a moment's notice
loveddddddddd this blog from @shineyezehuhh.bsky.social aftermath.site/neon-genesis...
The idea that opposing and rolling back trans rights is good for cis women and girls is ludicrous on every level and absolutely enraging when applied in legislation and policy that obviously limits and rolls backs rights for ALL women and girls
The truth is not the average of a fact and a lie.
lol, this is not the animorph I was hoping for
oh, so there’s “no way” to give me a microscopic sliver of the money we “saved” the company?
so… what is anything worth?
abolish corporations
especially since I was hired, as it turns out, for about 60% what I’m actually worth (and way less than my teammates make)
and that I was told there was “no way” to fix that
but, nobody else has hired me yet. so I’m grateful to Be Employed and Not Dead
I was recently informed that my team’s work is part of “saving” the corporation over a hundred million dollars a year.
it troubles the fuck out of me that none of us get any extra compensation for that massive amount of money

To fully understand "Sinners" and the world of the Smokestack twins, we need to explore the Rust Belt Gothik, the tradition of Black speculative survival strategies forged in response to the pressures of the Great Migration

@disappointment.bsky.social possibly relevant to your interests :)
“In a dozen instances, misreads by Flock's automated license plate readers, or a lack of verification by officers, resulted in people who hadn't committed crimes being stopped at gunpoint, sent to jail, or mauled by a police dog, among other outcomes.”
I would love it if people expressed interest in the nature of consciousness and the self but noticing a lot of people that only seem to care when it involves a slave that's your only friend and I think that might color the debate a bit.
this outfit is so dang good 🤩
There’s a roughly 40 year cycle in mass government funding in research and technology before you get consumer applications and guess what we stopped doing almost exactly 40 years ago
and I'm pleased to announce I'm starting my own company, Agony Nexus
James Acaster has been around a while but I love his work. I saw Chris Fleming live a couple months ago, and got a headache from laughing so hard!
Definitely some great ones out there :)
