Last Notes npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus Cars do a great deal more tangible harm than the chatbots do. They kill way, way, way more people. They drive way more waste and pollution. They have significantly worse political side effects, and dramatically worse social ones. npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus I wish y'all would cut it out with the clanker shit. npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus For the record, AI is a technocratic political project for the purpose of industrializing knowledge work. npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus Obviously, the models are going to continue to exist. Probably. So will the data sets, the libraries, and the generalized knowledge of how to build them and what that gets you, in a technical sense. npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus You can't put the genie back in the bottle 🤡 npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus @nprofile…yz28 impressive npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus There's one very important thing I would like everyone to try to remember this week, and it is that AI companies are full of shit npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus There are only a few places online where people can gather and interact that _isn't_ massively tipping the scales in favor of AI. But there's no secret cabal of terminally online posters coordinating harassment campaigns to keep AI fans out. (As a terminally online poster, I feel like I would know) It's just that they're not popular here. Which is, actually, extremely predictable. They are artificially supported everywhere else, so if course this space has a higher proportion of members who are less than interested. npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus "AI can make mistakes, always check the results" npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus I wrote about AI again. On some level I don't now why I do this to myself npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus Or as I said previously npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus But at least we only spent a trillion dollars on it, right? npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus It sounds like discord is trying to assure us that most people won't have to hand over our IDs to them because they've already been doing digital phrenology on us, so we should all just calm down. npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus @nprofile…44dh honestly, without more information about the conditions of those pilot studies, I wouldn't try to draw any conclusion at all from them. npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus tbh, it's incredibly rude that there's just this constant button float on the edge of whatever I'm doing, claiming that a robot could do it better npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus @nprofile…yzy8 I've made good use of this for bulk renames recently npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus In somewhat positive news, a couple of weeks ago my friend had been feeling really depressed and demotivated about work (as a software dev). They felt like nothing was worth doing, and dreaded working with claude to produce some output. npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus @nprofile…hcw6 Not to mention the existing raft of AI features that are already added and can only be turned off with undocumented config settings: npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus It's good that we're all so bothered by the new and extensive demand for personal data on US visa applications. npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus I just left myself a couple of failing tests so I'll remember what I was doing tomorrow please clap npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus @nprofile…u25l the serious answer is lead generation npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus @nprofile…u25l @nprofile…dqcm npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus what's that popping sound npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus us-east-1 could do the funniest thing today npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus Every time you buy a gay fox girl video game, a real life gay fox girl gets to pay rent and make more video games. npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus I have thought about this article approximately 10,000 times since I first read it last week. npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus @nprofile…9j4p Depends on your goal. If it's to make yourself more marketable as a frontend developer, then it's hard to answer with anything other than react. npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus Did you know that Starbucks Workers United has a merch store? And that all profits support the strike fund? And that the designs are kind of great? npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus It turns out that AI was not the paper clip maximizer. It was actually the paperclip. npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus Reminder that AI is "propping up" the economy the same way a tape worm props up your metabolism. npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus Yes, but you see, *I* can safely use the torment nexus. If you've been harmed by the torment nexus, that's a skill issue npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus This bubble cannot burst fast enough. The damage it's doing is enormous npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus It is so beautiful that Dick Cheney died on the same day New York City elected Zohran Mamdani npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus Oh no, from validation. Now I really have to decide how much effort I'm going to put into making JavaScript optional npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus @nprofile…cg79 I've decided to be fine with it. It's terrible and cringe, and probably hurts his ultimate election chances. But, he sucks and I don't want him to be president anyway, so that's fine. And in the meantime, every minute of attention trump spends being mad at gavin newsom is a minute he didn't spend attacking queer and/or brown people npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus @nprofile…s6x2 If I was a car company masquerading as a tech company, and I didn't want people think I had capriciously jeopardized their lives by remotely disabling their cars, I would simply not design and build the exact capabilities that would allow me to do that. npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus "let AI write your tests and boilerplate so you can focus on the important things" is exactly like "let a forklift do your warm up so you can focus on your power lift". Except with weight lifting, you'll only hurt yourself. npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus The thing I really need to say, but that tech execs are so unwilling to hear I worry I'd get fired for it if I did: npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus fuck npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus When we're talking about "AI", it's important to keep in mind that AI is not a technology, in the way you would normally think about it. AI is a marketing term for a category of products and services which aim to replace the general public's ability to think, speak, and know things. npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus Hey, I don't know if anyone needs this, but it's here if you do npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus You know that one coworker who built that super complicated bespoke framework that got included deep in the heart of your most critical projects, and then quit? npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus Not to brag or anything, but using appropriate semantic html just made my css easier npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus It's possible you might be interested in the exercise tracker I build as a (2.5) weekend(s) project. It's so hard to find a not-shit exercise tracker that's also not slop-fueled scam vector or surveillance nightmare that I actually just made one myself. npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus And it doesn't even work properly npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus Back to work, so obviously I'm mad about AI again. npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus I'm no longer in the mountains and out of cell coverage, but i am still on vacation and not very online. npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus @nprofile…3wy7 I have 2 main thoughts about this. npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus > ccuurrll:: ((77)) FFaaiilleedd ttoo ccoonnnneecctt ttoo llooccaallhhoosstt ppoorrtt 99009915 aafftetre r0 0m sm:s :C oCnnoencnteicotni orne fruesfeuds npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus yep yep yep npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus javascript was a mistake npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus In other words, a stopped clock is always wrong. npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus And marketing bullshit like "RAG" or "reasoning" or whatever else don't change this. All that does is tailor the dictionary it's allowed to use to solve this mad-lib. npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus A lot of people talking about "hallucinations", and how often LLMs are right or wrong today. I wish you'd stop. npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus I find myself thinking about the time, about a month into Biden's term, when he ordered ICE to halt deportations temporarily. They refused. They kept arresting and deporting people. And Biden just ignored it. Acted like nothing had happened. npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus It's weird that there are so *many* AI companies, right? Why are there so many? This is the same set of assholes who tell us "competition is for losers." Why are they competing with each other? npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus For all the instance admins who are starting up some arbitrary 24 hour defederation timer about now: consider that Friday is a remarkably terrible time to do that. npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus Anyway, you cannot hold the position that the fediverse is a morally superior model of social networking, and also push people away from it. That's the root of what people mean when they talk about the fedi HOA. npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus Is there a way for a web server to disable javascript on a page? I'm pretty sure there's not, but hoping I'm wrong. npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus I'm going to miss computers npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus @nprofile…ddc2 the thing is, the Internet trend from later that day was all exhortations not to create or share these things, because the existence of it is basically a threat. This one, for example https://tante.cc/2025/03/28/vulgar-display-of-power/ npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus I wasn't going to fediforum because I went to the previous one, and got nothing at all out of it. Having no vision, no purpose, and no agenda makes for a pretty pointless conference. I don't really care that it cost $40, but I really wish I could have my time back. npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus @nprofile…ddc2 @nprofile…dwme npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus @nprofile…ddc2 @nprofile…dwme npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus TIL that Lenovo hosts their own first-party instructional videos to open up and replace most of the components in their laptops. So, props to them! That's awesome npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus Actually, in this moment, claiming to be "apolitical" is an explicit endorsement of escalating and spreading fascism. Maybe it used to be about the status quo, but there isn't a status quo anymore. There is no neutral. It's been destroyed, and it's being replaced with open, avowed fascism. You can be opposed to that, or you can support it. Pretending to neutrality is supporting fascism. npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus Do you ever just fuckin hate computers? npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus Reminder that there are exactly zero good billionaires. npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus I realize no one asked, but I am definitely not going to the next fedi forum. npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus @nprofile…0xkc npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus visual studio continues to be the worst thing about dotnet, holy shit npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus @nprofile…0tle @nprofile…qde4 @nprofile…mhq4 npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus @nprofile…0tle @nprofile…qde4 @nprofile…mhq4 npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus @nprofile…gffv https://mas.to/@meganL/113680576610698639 npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus Amazon warehouse and delivery workers are on strike. Do not cross that picket line. Do not order anything from amazon. Finish your christmas shopping locally npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus OP: *Expresses frustration; elides some details* npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus Does anyone else get rate limited from just using mastodon normally from the mastodon website? Like, doing absolutely nothing exotic. Just scrolling the timeline, sometimes hitting like or boost, checking notifications when they come in, very occasionally replying to something. And then there's a wall of toast messages saying to try again in 1 to 5 minutes. npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus If AI was useful to the writer, then writers would seek it out. But AI is useful to the publisher, so publishers impose it on writers whether they want it or not. And this is the dynamic everywhere AI shows up. npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus Every time some company shoves AI into their tools so that it's just a little more inescapable, I see textile factory owners colluding against luddites. It's weird that other people don't see this. npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus I don't accept the premise that there is a harmful class bias in opposing gen AI. This argument presumes both that the writing of working class and marginalized people is less valuable unless it matches the style of wealthy people, and that they cannot do so on their own, so a computer must do it for them. npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus I guess I'm just muting this now, because holy shit is this thread going to be a top tier example of what makes this place unappealing. npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus A lot of people are seeing that the fediverse is not viewed as an attractive alternative to Twitter, and concluding is because people don't know about it. But I'm pretty sure people don't see it as an attractive alternative because they do know about it. npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus From about 2017 to about 2022, there was a huge american, and at some level international, conversation about racism, sexism, patriarchy, white supremacy, and so on. That played out in large part on social media. I think it's not a coincidence that this is also when the largest part of the fediverse was established. npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus Ughhhhhhhh npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus Ok, let's do this. The Harris campaign should not be on mastodon. It would be bad for both the campaign, and mastodon. npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus @npub1u27…3qfq what would you hope to achieve using that proof? npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus OH! Oh. I figured it out. AI marketing is negging. It's intentionally playing on people's insecurities. It's beauty marketing for brogrammers. And it lands so well with white brogrammers, at least in part, because they don't have a lifetime's worth of emotional tolerance built up to that manipulation. npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus This is a genuine, serious proposal. Cars and car infrastructure are so enormously expensive and destructive. Paying people to use public transit instead would be a net positive, and it's not even close. npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus Not only should municipal transit be zero fare, using it should provide tax credits npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus I was reminded that near the beginning of the year, Microsoft made office 365 uncancellable. I was reminded of this by trying to cancel it. npub1dpcfwhxdwkmnq50954nvyqarujca4saxj4mckx48qqy52v44r2ts6c5rwe Jenniferplusplus protip: billionaires do not need you to defend them. They are not worthy of your support.
