where cars doing stunts belong vs. where cars doing stunts do not belong
It's telling that men would rather try to invent tech to replace humans' role in caregiving than step up as equal partners in parenting. Telling, that is, in that it shows how financial capitalism and patriarchy work together to dissuade men from doing "unprofitable" labor, like the work of care.
When I went to engineering school half of my classes were about some now-defunct XML format. SOAP was dead by the time I graduated.
Ian Coldwater 🧊🚫@lookitup.baby · last mo.When I went to college it was considered critically important for blogs to be integrated into every curriculum, because blogs were the future. We had to maintain a separate blog for every class. I guarantee you that not a single student ever looked at a single one of those blogs ever again
lol one of our website designers used our organization's entire monthly claude credits yesterday and now half the company doesn't know how to do their jobs. it's october 2nd.

Imagine if all the evidence for climate change was "a bunch of guys on a website thought very hard about it and agreed it was very bad and might happen" instead of empiricism.
choosing Arthur Andersen as an auditing firm really isn’t going to deter the Enron accusations
Timnit Gebru@timnitgebru.blacksky.app · 2mo agoTallinn, who led Anthropic's series A, funds METR, the "auditing institute" people took seriously 🙄 After criticism that METR was laughably NOT independent, Anthropic announces they'll pay Accenture to "audit" Accenture had acquired Tallinn firm which will be doing the "auditing" Full circle 🙄
Good thing we have scientists to work this kind of shit out
I do think that this article is a good representation of some typical thinking in this world. How exactly will AI kill us all? Well, maybe a virus, or some sort of hacking spree. Maybe something else. I don't know but listen, the leading fathers of AI have been saying this.
"But what if the 'AI' would deny your health care claims?" Think just a step bigger. Why do anyone's health care claims get denied? Why do people even have to claim shit. Health care is a human right.
All I'm saying is if Musk was serious about the whole "X" thing, he would've changed his name to "Elon Mux"

Pedro found the one sunbeam in the house and claimed it, toys included.
Patreon laying off 20% of their staff is sad but TBH Patreon is a service that should be run by a handful of people just taking care of money flows. None of their dumb growth hack features. Be the money collection guys. Take a cut and have a billion dollar business with a staff leaner than Onlyfans.
Patreon Lays Off 20 Percent of Its Workforce

Quick thinking having a tablecloth handy. I didn’t even notice the twitching from that dead robot.
I think it’s possible for AI systems to generate gravity. Planets are big machines. Somehow planets generate gravity. I don’t see why silicon can’t do it.
