Simon Weckert designed digital camouflage as a response to the proliferation of AI-powered surveillance cameras that detect people, vehicles, animals, bicycles, and other objects in their field of view. @jasonkoebler.bsky.social reports. Read now: www.404media.co/this-digital...

I wrote an essay about why I'm done using AI for coding, even if it costs me my job and career: brettcodes.com/im-done-usin... The basic gist is: AI made me a worse, apathetic programmer. I think it's bad for humanity, the planet, and the craft of software engineering. And I'm done using it.

I'm done using AI

Why I'm stopping using AI for coding (and anything else) after using it earnestly for a year and coming to understand the harms it causes on personal, societal, and environmental levels.

that's great Unreal. Who the fuck is going to use that engine? There aren't any more AAA studios. They're all fucking gone. It's just terry in his fucking basement and he's got Godot open.

Employee owned cooperative game studios is the only sustainable path forward. Everything else will continue to be deformed by capital as it seeks to optimize extracting value with minimal cost.

In his keynote speech to Harvard graduates this week, @thedailyshow.com host Ronny Chieng said "Fuck AI!" Turns out you can talk about AI in a grad speech and not get booed. Watch our episode on these AI grad speeches: www.youtube.com/watch?v=VE0E...

OK, I'll just say it. Most science fiction and all cyberpunk is radically dystopian. Hopeful, optimistic visions of the future are sorely needed. The Solarpunk movement is onanistic rubbish, highjacked by 100 peripheral ideologies. We need a positive vision for the future or we'll never get there.

Now you can keep track of how many billions the AI companies are losing on AI. (Red is spending, green is revenue.) isaiprofitable.com

this graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive. when you're inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn't.

inspired by a post I saw on here and have since lost, I've started reading "AI companies" as "cigarette manufacturers," so something like this becomes "maker of Newports backs bill to fund smoking literacy in schools"

Life hack: wake up early to make bread. then you're up early. and you have bread.

I will give you this shoe, you will be able to use it

When you use AI to do your writing, you are telling your audience: “I deserve your attention, but you do not deserve my effort.”

I'm so tired of winning.

happiness is cruising on a motorbike, singing baka mitai as loud as you can.

The friction of actually trying to understand something is annoying and takes practice to push through, and a degree of introspection to say “ah man I do get it.” Learning is a skill! It takes practice and also is frustrating as hell.

Was thinking a little more about AI and pedagogy. People liken genAI to tools such as calculators, but we’d never say students don’t have to learn how to add because calculators exist. I worry a lot that the heavy use of genAI for research will be doing the equivalent: skipping skill acquisition.
