So, funny story: remember how that Stanford professor described last years' layoffs as a "social contagion" exercise, where CEOs were just doing it because everyone else was doing it? https://news.stanford.edu/2022/12/05/explains-recent-tech-layoffs-worried/ Well everyone get your surprised face ready but it was in fact a coordinated effort by execs, large shareholders and hedge funds to cover up mismanagement and suppress wages: https://www.teamblind.com/post/How-we-got-here-Some-inside-scoops-from-Microsoft-on-handling-early-days-of-pandemic-to-cutting-over-20K-folks-in-2023-7ndQwLAU Did I say funny, I meant awful, typo sorry those keys are right next to each other.

Years ago, @paulcuth introduced me to a life-changing conference. Not only did I find my current job through chatting with people there, but the talks I saw and the people I met throughout the years were the inspiration and acceptance I desperately needed to find. Because of that, I'm over the moon to speak at @ffconf@social.ffconf.org and I hope I can contribute to people feeling as happy at the end of the day as I felt all these previous years as an attendee. See you there? 💖 https://2023.ffconf.org/

@artcollisions@vis.social The naming was a silly thing. The book was Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and then the Gene Wilder movie was financed by the Quaker Oats company who insisted on the name changing as part of cross-promotion of their Wonka brand of candy. And then apparently that didn't even work out because Wonka Bars ended up all melting on store shelves, oops.

Attached: 1 image So apparently dang and the HN crowd are so upset I wrote some messages for HN visitors to our website, that they now banned my home IP address 🙃 Yes, seriously. I get 403s from any device on my home connection, and yet it works fine on 4G. Just when you thought they couldn't get pettier. And no, I haven't been doing any scraping/scripting/anything sus.

Many in tech seem to think that if you disagree with something in tech, you must think that it’s illegal or should be illegal. I think LLMs and diffusion models are unfair and that making or using one is a dick move, but are they illegal copyright violations of the training data? I have no idea, but the repercussions if they aren’t legal would be much wider ranging than most realise.
