These people can't even run a company competently but think they can create an AI that is smarter than humans and control it? This is some Jurassic Park level hubris.

i forgot a shirt at a girl's place and she told me it's hers now and i'm not getting it back. this is the most gender affirming experience i've ever had
I had a Captcha today that had ai generated images - this is not new. But the prompt was also clearly ai generated, as it made zero grammatical sense. Refreshing the page was the only option, as refreshing the captcha gave the same prompt with different images. How is solving problems a computer can solve far easier than a human a good way to determine the user isn’t a computer?
Being an adult is just saying ‘Things will slow down next week’ to each other until you die
So the thing I don't get about tumblr is why it's so strict on anything remotely sexual, yet happily broadcasts and pushes ads with graphic violent content of people being shot in a video game. To me, I find violence 100x worse for society than something mildly sexually explicit. It's deeply saddening just how normalised violence is in our society, but sex is so taboo.
Not sure if we are in a baby boom right now Or if I'm just in the age range (28 - 40) that's most common for career professionals to have babies!

Attached: 1 video “It makes me so angry, the way they’ve weaponised this idea of being woke; that being asleep is something to aspire to.” What a hero. #DavidTennant #TheLastLeg
You know what? Fuck billionaire tech-boys and the toys they develop that continue to ravage the world and heighten inequity and fill our society with the dangerous detritus of their little boy egos. #InAMood

Really love how David Tennant is so supportive of his non-binary kid, and generally how open and vocal he is on the issues affecting minorities and marginalized communities. Plus, his no bs take here is pretty spot on in regards to how the word "woke" is being used as an insult to ridicule what is essentially just giving a damn about other people. "It makes me so angry, the way they weaponised this idea of, that, that being asleep is something to aspire to [...] It makes me furious that they should have a minister who would encourage you not to have a crumb of empathy, not to think about what it might be to live so somebody else’s experience." 🔗https://www.thenational.scot/news/23932700.david-tennant-releases-anger-tories-last-leg-live-rant/ #DavidTennant #DoctorWho #DrWho #lgbtq

I sent an email. 🎉
This meeting should have been a pay rise
1990: wow, technology is cool and shiny, I want more 2023: technology is poison, who did this to me
If you ever see a single person bitching about sex workers advertising on mastodon with the premise that it's "meant to be an ad free space" please tear them a new one. The circle of safe social media platforms for sex workers keeps growing smaller, mastodon may be one of the only places we have left. Please don't kick us out too.

Have just opened a pull request to enable OAuth 2.0 refresh tokens for Mastodon, which is a first step towards enabling expiration of access tokens, to increase security to best practices. https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/27948 #Mastodon #MastodonDev
Half-Life was truly groundbreaking: https://half-life.com/en/halflife25 (we shall not speak of Half-Life 2, which I consider an OK game at best.)
Really confused by my brain's filing system as I heard Sam Altman was removed from the board of OpenAI and reacted "well I should think so! Isn't he in prison for that crypto thing? Wait no that's the fried bankman wait no Sam Bankman-Fried."
Tailscale is a wonderful thing but I wish they had a better story for very large organizations than 'everyone lives in one tailnet and surely you can keep one global set of ACLs sorted out'. I regret to inform you etc etc, universities, departments thereof. I like the idea of a single tailnet, but the administration side of things would be a terrible mess.

Hey, speakers! If your talk proposal doesn't say which open source tools you're covering, and your blog is full of proprietary software coverage, I'm going to assume that you're trying to sneak a proprietary SW talk into an OSS conference and reject it. #SpeakerTips

@pdcawley@mendeddrum.org and I do! Well, a USB switch for bouncing between work and personal machine. But it has a noticeable pause when switching, so I have a second keyboard for when I'm mid-sentence in work stuff and want to toot or something. And in the evening I get silly and have both on the personal system. Primary types better, secondary has better media controls. And very occasionally I get confused, start typing on one, and finish typing on the other.
It occurs to me that this toot provides yet additional insight into the workings of one neurospicy brain. https://hackers.town/@randomgeek/111429565867936719
Happy sama getting sacked for cause day for all who celebrate.

Sam Altman: AI companies will take your job and leave you unemployed Sam Altman: ... wait not like that
Thoughts and prayers to those also on-call for this upcoming 'Black Friday' week It's my business work-week of the year. Hoping it all goes smoothly 🤞

How is the OpenAI board gonna fire Sam Altman just because he gave answers that sounded plausible but weren't actually accurate?

Remember folks, it’s antisemitic to say that Israel is starving Palestinians in Gaza. The correct term you’re looking for is “compassionate calorific restriction.”
Fuck Google. Fuck the executives who signed off and pushed this. Fuck the people who hadn't pushed against this and kept up this long battle of the digital attention economy through ads. I'm not terribly forgiving of those in favor of digital advertisment's rise — any business that requires nonconsentual engagement (and uses it to remain as profitable as possible) is unethical. Surveillance capitalism is one of the grossest things to exist and despite it being coined recently, that shit is old. As old as overseers. https://infosec.exchange/@catsalad/111426154930652642 (https://jacky.wtf/2023/11/4xxP)
no I love reviewing code changes without syntax highlighting actually 🙃
It’s easy to say with hindsight that NFTs are a stupid scam, but it was also pretty easy to say at the beginning and through the middle too.

I've given it a lot of time now, and for the record, I still despise the @SlackHQ interface changes. They have taken what used to be at-a-glance or at most 1-click and made it all 3-4 clicks and difficult to find. For no purpose other than "we could". 0 ⭐️ Do not recommend
