It is 2026. You have been laid off. Somewhere there is a job.

Correct, we never did when I was there. It was primarily a legal distinction + naming conventions. They did call it Wiimote in NOE though!

wow this is pretty awful. video is where the lack of understanding/world model becomes most obvious imo, which makes this a pretty good visual metaphor for that, at least?

Sure, it’s 100 degrees in October in California, but the good news is that gas is $7

ooh timely find, a researcher colleague and I came to this conclusion separately and have been discussing this battle at work: Claude-driven thematic analysis vs human-driven, whether/how to ask Claude to review the first draft, etc

I follow a handful of journalist for news updates, and an enormous number of mentally unwell people with arts degrees to put that news into proper context for me

As a Black American, I have always felt that the primary was my real election. Because at the end of the day, America is going to America. So for a candidate to switch up AFTER the primary? To advocate for my harm after agreeing to help me? That is a transgression deserving of punishment.

at least once a week i think about my philosophy of cogsci teacher explaining neural networks in 2010 and why they were a dead end for creating human-like intelligence. she wasn’t wrong, it just turned out that industry is highly motivated to sell it as if it is, and there’s so much data available 🤷🏼

wrote a thing about how letting LLMs speak for you at work creates distrust and slows everyone down, imo one of the worst changes that’s happening
adrienne.bearblog.dev
Using LLMs to communicate at work is rude
I recently left my job, and there were many many reasons why, but some of the reasons I wanted to leave have less to do with that job in particular, and more...

This is captures what it feels like working in an engineer-dominant enterprise org
A Reddit post titled "An engineer created a crossing that doesn't need traffic lights" and the attached video is the most disastrously dangerous and convoluted distortion of a roundabout you can imagine which requires merging across four lanes to turn left

I was in Freya’s orbit in the VR/Budget Cuts days and it’s sad but comforting stumbling across her account on here & seeing we’re arriving at similar conclusions. Some days all I want to do is completely walk away from tech and just write and make art with my kid

why i am so team and mentorship oriented, in a nutshell. teams are where it’s at. people at all levels! collaborating! learning from each other! waow
In April 2023, Wachowski told Them in an interview that one of the focuses of the current phase of her career was mentoring up-and-coming trans talent.
Calling mentorship a "means of resisting empire," she added, "Mentorship, and the
connectivity it creates, disarms empire and capitalism by bringing us together as part of the same fabric."

A couple of years ago I went to this summit for California technology in higher ed and the entire thing was admin going “how should we leverage AI to improve the value of degrees as a product???” and instructors going “hire more of us and please stop mandating the use of experimental technology”

Good video essay summarizing basically how I’ve felt about gender and sexuality for a long time. Spoiler alert: the real answer is coalitions around values and not identity (and thus the bickering between the liberals and the leftists) youtu.be/h2ou2A_-8JU?...
