I think we'll be trying snorkeling and scuba, and I'll definitely be looking for good street and scenery photo opportunities, plus great food of course! Also, if anyone knows where I might find used local records for sale, I'd love to come back with some souvenir wax! #travel #BlackMastodon #Curacao npub1vc8z4hvltnassmns95e9aw3dfjhytqf29y2pa2xrerluysuwzdusnn0ds4 Air Adam The term "moral crumple zone" coined by Dr Madeleine Elish seems a perfect fit; https://www.epicpeople.org/moral-crumple-zones-agency-and-accountability-in-human-ai-interaction/ npub1vc8z4hvltnassmns95e9aw3dfjhytqf29y2pa2xrerluysuwzdusnn0ds4 Air Adam I was recently sent to a workshop by my day job on the new AI-first (only?) development methodology they want us to switch to. I can't help but think that a system that has LLMs generating reams of code but put the responsibility on engineers to understand all of it feels like a bit of a con - and unsafe. Like a software version of the idea that humans should be immediately ready to take over from self-driving cars when they can't cope with an emergency. npub1vc8z4hvltnassmns95e9aw3dfjhytqf29y2pa2xrerluysuwzdusnn0ds4 Air Adam Going live now @ https://twitch.tv/airadam13 !

I'm almost 40 miles away right now and the air absolutely stinks of smoke. You can see the haze in the air, and my eyes have been itching even when inside the house - which also smells. All because some idiots decides to let off fireworks on tinder-dry moorland, which they then laughed about. npub1vc8z4hvltnassmns95e9aw3dfjhytqf29y2pa2xrerluysuwzdusnn0ds4 Air Adam A thought/feeling that bubbled up over the weekend... Many of us who work in software development are being told loudly and often how excited we should be that AI can* now write code - so we can concentrate on other things instead. It's weird to me that anyone would expect people who chose a profession/field of study based on their interest in an activity to be bubbly and enthusiastic about *not* getting to do it any longer. *quality/accuracy/basic function may vary npub1vc8z4hvltnassmns95e9aw3dfjhytqf29y2pa2xrerluysuwzdusnn0ds4 Air Adam Going live now @ https://twitch.tv/airadam13 !

A person's creation is worthy of better description than its relationship to space. npub1vc8z4hvltnassmns95e9aw3dfjhytqf29y2pa2xrerluysuwzdusnn0ds4 Air Adam @nprofile…qntz That is really insightful! It tangentially reminds me of another thought/memory; back in the day, people pirating software/music/whatever would say "a blank CD is only 50p, how can this album be £15?" The companies would then say how much it cost to produce the music, and that you weren't buying the CD but access to the material on it. However, you break a CD and try to ask the company for a cheap replacement for the album you already paid for the right to own and hear... npub1vc8z4hvltnassmns95e9aw3dfjhytqf29y2pa2xrerluysuwzdusnn0ds4 Air Adam @nprofile…rg52 Even if I think what someone is putting out is poor quality, it's something that is at least worthy of an accurate description. The "lorem ipsum" point is a good one! npub1vc8z4hvltnassmns95e9aw3dfjhytqf29y2pa2xrerluysuwzdusnn0ds4 Air Adam And FWIW, this started before the AI/LLM boom. The idea that what someone does is just produce, with no further description of what, is incredibly dystopian. The fact that someone would self-describe that way feels deeply depressing. Maybe I'm just a romantic, I don't know, but all the same - I think we can do much better. npub1vc8z4hvltnassmns95e9aw3dfjhytqf29y2pa2xrerluysuwzdusnn0ds4 Air Adam They don't produce emotion, real opinion, or even originality, just stuff. And we're being told that the pace of humanity in producing "stuff", "content", is the limiting factor and something to be overcome. You might produce visual art, or music. You could be a writer on all manner of topics. You might get on camera to tell jokes, or give your opinions. Whatever you do, *please* respect yourself to call it what it is. It's *not* mere "content". npub1vc8z4hvltnassmns95e9aw3dfjhytqf29y2pa2xrerluysuwzdusnn0ds4 Air Adam Ok, so here's something that's been bothering me for a while. I *despise* the word "content" the way it's now used. The phrase "content creator" and the bundling of so many things under that term. What is "content" in English? It's the description of something that fills a container. Is that the best we can do? Would people truly describe whatever it is they do as mere "filler"? If so, no wonder all this AI slop is being foisted onto us. The LLMs can produce filler at scale. npub1vc8z4hvltnassmns95e9aw3dfjhytqf29y2pa2xrerluysuwzdusnn0ds4 Air Adam Ok, so here's something I've been wanting to write somewhere in some form for a while.

Shady.

Did the Knicks just exorcise the ghosts of the missed Ewing shot and the Charles Smith blocked layups? #NBAFinals npub1vc8z4hvltnassmns95e9aw3dfjhytqf29y2pa2xrerluysuwzdusnn0ds4 Air Adam @nprofile…nrvh I missed them! Glad to get an extra game, even though I booked a day off work to watch what I thought might be the last game of the series 😁 npub1vc8z4hvltnassmns95e9aw3dfjhytqf29y2pa2xrerluysuwzdusnn0ds4 Air Adam KAT didn't play that well, but also didn't take many shots compared to Brunson who took a ton. It feels like they'd had success playing through KAT and they lost their way and had the ball in Brunson's hands too much - which the Spurs probably preferred. Also way too many early fouls by NY early in the fourth led to a bunch of free-throws for SAS that may have decided it. With the Knicks being an older (but not old team), I think ultimately their maturity will win out. npub1vc8z4hvltnassmns95e9aw3dfjhytqf29y2pa2xrerluysuwzdusnn0ds4 Air Adam Wow, we've got a series now! FWIW, I think that the circus of bad vibes and practical disruption caused by the tyrant may have added to the nerves of the first Finals game in NYC in almost 30 years to knock the Knicks off their square. That said, after 13 straight playoff wins, most by big margins, they were probably due an off night. The Spurs seemed to play closer to their average (helped by a big night for Big Vic), while NY were making mistakes that they can clean up. npub1vc8z4hvltnassmns95e9aw3dfjhytqf29y2pa2xrerluysuwzdusnn0ds4 Air Adam If the government were so concerned about abusers, they'd be going full-speed chasing the rich, privileged, and highly-connected networks that we now know exist. This surveillance-focused plan will unfortunately get a lot of support in a country with a very particular media/cultural obsession and, at high levels, a depressing amount of technical ignorance. npub1vc8z4hvltnassmns95e9aw3dfjhytqf29y2pa2xrerluysuwzdusnn0ds4 Air Adam Here are a trio of photos from the day - overall good fun and something I think I'd go back to, for the day out as well as the photography! #MotorRacing #Photography https://mastodon.me.uk/system/media_attachments/files/116/716/440/329/777/836/original/05c02f451d73273c.jpeg https://mastodon.me.uk/system/media_attachments/files/116/716/440/636/517/150/original/f91c093eecb2f76e.jpeg https://mastodon.me.uk/system/media_attachments/files/116/716/440/941/107/975/original/f84bbd9df4e1a149.jpeg npub1vc8z4hvltnassmns95e9aw3dfjhytqf29y2pa2xrerluysuwzdusnn0ds4 Air Adam Just came back from my first time watching motor racing! A friend is trying to learn some photography in time for a trip to see F1, so after giving him some initial teaching recently we decided to go to the British Touring Car Championships for some real-world practice and it was a quality day 🙂 Good excuse to take my wife's cool little picnic set for an outing too! npub1vc8z4hvltnassmns95e9aw3dfjhytqf29y2pa2xrerluysuwzdusnn0ds4 Air Adam @nprofile…23cj He could get one up on Biden and Obama, neither of whom ever fought a lion. npub1vc8z4hvltnassmns95e9aw3dfjhytqf29y2pa2xrerluysuwzdusnn0ds4 Air Adam Going live now @ https://twitch.tv/airadam13 !

Every presentation, every department meeting, I'm being told how much we need to lean into AI, how much we need to make it a part of our regular routines. There's almost no other topic of conversation. I do worry that we're absolutely about to fully surrender our thinking to it, right before the industry-wide job losses really bite, and the environmental damage starts to rack up elsewhere. Saying so, unfortunately, isn't popular.
