At a women in STEM event today, someone bemoaned the lack of women doing computer science. At tea, a young women who had left the AI/tech world told me this: “it’s just full of men lying about how good they are & constantly competing”. Just maybe the problem is with tech culture & not the women… 🤔
I demand baby kitten pics
Forgot about this bop
So apparently grammarly stole my fuckin identity
I'm no lawyer, but I think "we're going to keep stealing your stuff until you tell us you don't want us to steal your stuff" isn't quite the defense Grammarly thinks it is—at least not in the court of public opinion. I hope this company is sued into oblivion. I canceled my pro account today.
There seems to be a @support.bsky.team bug for adding alt text to an uploaded gif where the text area "disappears" when the keyboard opens up, at least on Android
This would also make a great Linkedin banner
This is what happens when using AI is tied to performance evaluation

"There, I said it" energy on Linkedin is so 🥱 😴
The Singularity is upon us: Apple's AI summarized a text message that read "I'm still down to clown if you are" to.... "clown event still possible."
Do people not just talk about things any more? Everything links to a substack or a system or something for sale. We’ve completely forgotten how to just share ideas and opinions. Everything doesn’t need to have a price tag
Today is MAR 10, aka Mario day. It is also extremely close to the spring equinox.
This implies a cycle of Wario Day (fall equinox), Luigi Day (summer solstice), and Waluigi Day (winter solstice).
When DOGE needed executive power it was USDS, a previously-excellent government tech shop that DOGE parasitized for this purpose. When it needed to avoid responsibility it was a vague "policy agenda" containing no real people.
They contain what now? And how did they get it, NYT? Hmm? How did they get all that information? Was it given to them, as a gift? OR.... OR....is there something else we should mention here and not wash away while you suck AI dick?
This is a good q from Levy, and Dorsey claims he wasn't paying attention to what was going on at the company at the time.
But I know of former employees who tweeted and messaged Dorsey about Musk's mockery. It's just interesting to watch Dorsey dodge any opportunity to hold Musk responsible.
Linkedin is the woooooooorst
One from the archives. I made this polar bear app icon a few years back.
Having issues with DuckDuckGo syncing and bookmarks shifting around.. might try Vivaldi next
cannot stress enough that "separate the art from the artist" was meant for private individuals reconciling the art they love with its flawed creators and not meant for the ceo of a company driving a dump truck of money up to a bigot's front porch

Literally thinking to myself "why am I doing this, I don't believe in this" lol
The inference costs are in addition to costs from training the models. Anthropic last month expected its costs for training its AI models for 2025 to be roughly $4.1 billion, up roughly 5% from its summer projections. OpenAI, meanwhile, expected to spend $9.4 billion on compute for training its Al models last year.
Reports had previously said Anthropic made $4.5bn in 2025 on $2.79bn of inference and $4.1bn of training.
This would mean it made $500m total in 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2026 so far combined.

I can't compete with this.
Mystery pasta person?
Went outside to get inspiration for my Pokopia town
Is there a way to file a @duckduckgo.com bug without making a Github or Reddit account?
Dang. This makes it crystal clear that, for DOGE, "DEI" just meant "acknowledging Black people exist"
If you're wondering how bad things were at Pixar for women, the answer is pretty horrifyingly bad.
An analysis of over 14 million social media posts from accounts in Canada found that 87% of conspiratorial claims come from just 100 influencers.
This minority of users impacts politics, influencing what people view as normal and leads to self-censoring to avoid attacks from conspiracy theorists.
