People have already been harassed for social media posts and citizens have been murdered in broad daylight simply for observing law enforcement.

That's one way to make things open source.

Accountability for police in the United States? That'll never happen.

So their CFO's publicly voiced concerns are unwarranted?

And that covers their model training and infrastructure costs?

Can't wait to see those revenue numbers.

I haven't missed it since switching to Kagi.

The US has pivoted to enforcing international disorder.

Outside and you have to say thank you.

I'm not as concerned with internal polling as I am with him attempting to undermine elections and his history of sexual assault.

It's not as though the GOP is doing anything with congress other than forcing their unpopular values on everyone, paying for an absurdist ballroom and funding a paramilitary.

Oh, I guess they did start another unpopular war in the Middle East and drove up gas prices to help drag the economy down.

GitHub and Microsoft are actively contributing to the problem, why would they admit fault?

Or at least it used to.

As opposed to unleashing tech folks on institutions to destroy them, increase costs and cause hundreds of thousands of deaths?

They’re ok at routing you to a human when you pester them repeatedly. My parents are in their 60s and loathe dealing with it.

These companies are going to destroy jobs and do nothing to help the people displaced by said destruction.

Every interaction I have with AI where I previously would’ve interacted with a person is worse. Whether that’s something mundane like scheduling an appointment, use at a doctor’s office, chat support. I imagine it’s cheaper for the company deploying it, but it’s all bad. It lines up with companies being more concerned with investors than actual users and customers though.

Jobs that exist only during construction, ambient noise, higher electricity and water prices. They also get the privilege of living near technology that represents the future: degraded education, unemployment and spiraling inequality.

Only if it helps me buy more stock in GameStop

AI really does destroy everything it touches.

My first job after college was working at the local newspaper right as subscription numbers crested and declined. It's one of my favorite sets of folks I've worked with and one of my favorite jobs I've had.

The editorial section was distinct from the advertising section with the latter selling against subscription numbers and not meaningfully influencing the former.

It got acquired and the staff got caught significantly as physical and digital subscriptions declined. I don't know what the solution is but I know competition for attention and ad dollars didn't help. Our information environment is worse for the decline of local journalism too.

CalMatters is a nonprofit and provides quality coverage. Perhaps that's a viable model at the state level. https://calmatters.org/about/funding/

I'm quite happy with Forgejo. I've moved all of my projects to my own instance and keep it accessible from Tailscale only.

We're going to turn our infrastructure in to code slop in the hope that we can scale to host all of your code slop in the same way that GitHub's code slop has failed to host code slop.

I know not everyone enjoys concerts, but it’s fundamental to my listening experience. That aside, I have no interest in music or art of any kind generated by AI. Other folks might, but I’ll have nothing to do with it.

I can't go see AI music live. Staring at a GPU just isn't the same.

If it's generated by a model, I would avoid listening to it. Much like I'd void a visual or video generated by a model.

I have. It's overly polished, formulaic and dull. It's devoid of any of the qualities that make music interesting. There's nothing a human is trying to communicate. Perhaps it could be used as elevator or hold music.

Rampant civil rights violations and murder, for starters.

She'd make a good CEO of an AI company.

No. It ruins art, ruins music, ruins communication and on and on. It's cancerous with respect to anything related to art or cultural value.
