"So in summary: using AI for coding led to depression, apathy, existential dread, and worse software. Not good. Add on top of that the negative environmental, community, and economic impacts of AI, and it became extremely apparent to me that something's gotta change." brettcodes.com/im-done-usin...

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.

Yeah, and it's an insidious risk, it's not the same thing as accepting the risk of tearing your ACL. It's more akin to the risk of breathing in asbestos: more is worse, but any of it is bad, and you do not get any indication where the permanent harm threshold is nor how much harm you've accumulated.

one misconception about football is that you can minimize this through limiting big hits or changing tacking, but the fundamental mechanics of the game, especially at the time of snap when linemen engage each other, involves little head to head collisions that add up over a lifetime

As you surely suspected, and @attackerman.bsky.social confirms, ICE and CBP are ridden with sex criminals & child abusers.

One of my buddies is a professional chef and was grousing about how his boss keeps doing AI instead of taking photos for his dishes and it's frankly *more expensive* than a photographer because of the amount of manhours it takes him to tell her that the images are both wrong and look like shit.

it really is amazing how gross this house AI slop style makes food look.

they've been pushing "AI in the classroom" for years now and while the studies of its detrimental effects pile up, and *student* as well as instructor resistance builds, the arguments for it haven't gotten any better or even changed from this tired, greasy attempt at giving orders

Konrad is still doubling down on trying to make fun of this absolute badass because he doesn't know what a BFA is or why people train without mags for physical events. It says a lot about this group chat that Konrad is in it (and it includes Dort!) because he is such an unhinged idiot.

I did not have Tetris needing to put out anti-fascist statements on my bingo card, but here we are

People will say "Covid took two years of my life that I'll never get back" and then you watch how they've spent their years since... Maybe covid ate there ngl

The title really says it all.

I'm sure "affordability" has popped as the poll tested safe ground for Democrats to campaign on. But I wonder how often the consultants poll, "How sick are you of the bad guys getting away with it?"

The quickest path back to a society accountable to its people, IMHO, is to enshrine into the core of law, that ANY abuse of power must be punished with outsized consequences. The sort of people that eagerly do that sort of thing are like children, you need to imprint it onto them with great force.

Bombing civilian targets in retaliation for attacking valid military targets is a blatant war crime and it's a reflection of how far we've fallen that him boasting about doing so won't even be a news story.

I would add OpenStreetMap, which is also community edited. This administration has really underscored some strengths of the wiki model.

Hilarious that these incidents wherein AIs "break containment" and cause problems are being cited as evidence of consciousness. They made a dangerous product that causes damage it isn't supposed to cause, and people are spinning that as something awe-inspiring.

dumpster beef! "TRUMP IS GIVING YOU DUMPSTER BEEF THAT OTHER COUNTRIES THREW OUT" that's gotta be the message, man

www.forbes.com/sites/maryro... The EU rejected this beef due to safety standards, but it’s being imported to the U.S. duty-free anyway. Why are we lowering standards on what we eat? If it isn't safe enough for the EU, it shouldn't be on our plates!

I’m pretty certain the GOP will still exist if we killed car dealers but killing them would definitely cut down on local TV ad spend and most local TV stations are owned by a Hitler so that’s a positive in and of itself

What people need to remember about 2024 is that people outside Trump's MAGA base didn't vote for him because they were enthusiastic about him. They voted for him because Dems did not magically reset prices back to 2019 levels while keeping 2024 wages and Trump promised that he was magic businessman.

Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social · yesterday

This is so good to see: Even in red areas, strong disapproval of Trump is vastly outweighing strong approval of him. This is a key reason the midterm map is expanding into redder areas. The anti-Trump intensity gap is truly remarkable. I wrote about it here: newrepublic.com/article/2151...

It is telling that Democratic Party officials are mustering a degree of previously unseen swiftness, vigor and aggression to crush what, so far, amounts to a mildly critical social democratic faction.
