Content warning: tech punditry

Remember everyone, if you're delulu enough, you too can fire, hire, fire, rehire all in a few days at your non problematic at all company. If you're really audacious you can remove women from your board, and replace them with *checks notes* problematic whyte techbros. #tech #infosec #nerd #ai #techbros

Sam Altman is back as OpenAI CEO with a new board. And of course the new board was hand picked to no longer restrict Altman so he can run OpenAI as a business as he sees fit (until he jumps to one of his own things he's been preparing for months now). The interesting aspect of this: The new board no longer has any women, the 2 women on the old board were replaced by Larry Summers who's known to think that women just have less "intrinsic aptitude" for "science and engineering". So Yeah. Says a lot about what OpenAI considers important.

I think folks need to understand that within a number of years, AI-generated "content" will be the microplastic of our online ecosystem.

A company lays off thousands of people, nobody bats an eye. A company fires one CEO and everyone loses their mind.

@hamatti@mastodon.world Including the company’s employees. Employees who could be laid off any time by CEO they’re fighting for. 🙂

Stop treating open source projects and foundations like consumer-facing businesses. Unless you've got a paid support contract that's being neglected, or there's a grave concern, it's inappropriate to escalate issues to massively public forums. Maintainers and the staffers and volunteers at foundations are already overworked. Don't make it harder for them to address your issue by ALSO making them waste time firefighting in public. #OpenSource #FOSS #FLOSS

Dropping a speaker a message (via pretty much any means of communication they make available to you) that you genuinely liked their talk is a very kind thing to do, and I can assure you that it never goes unheard or unnoticed.

Move slow and mend things.

All the people they laid off, but here’s a guy who, to my knowledge, is just a VC tech kid and not an expert, who openly follows a “philosopher” who blatantly believes _Black people are not as smart as white people_ and they can’t wait to hire him. Gee, what group of people were hit hardest by layoffs again? I am beyond disgusted by this. I have to go practice whatever shit I learned in therapy to calm down. Every single person they laid off is worth ten of this racist venture capital fuck.

The biggest mistake I have made as a creator is letting my ego, my ambition and the shallowness of social media convince me that I had an "Audience" instead of a network. It's a self centred worldview that strips the humanity out of the folks around us. We end up treating people like numbers and vanity metrics. That's just bulls**t.

Everyone: AI is the future, let’s gooooo Open ai: not so fast, hold my beer
