again - I absolutely hate AI precisely *because* it's actually useful, because that means it will stick around, and that means it's worth fighting if you genuinely think AI isn't useful for coding today, then you are just wrong, I'm sorry to say

Bezos is full of shit here, no argument; but: your logic applies to 5-day workweek just as well. We did go from 7 to 5 at one point, so we could plausibly get to 3. Of course, what gave us 5 is not (only) productivity increases, but collective bargaining and unions...

Actually you know what? The ability to adjust difficulty and accessibility settings beyond what the devs included is, in fact, a GREAT use of AI.

A lot of people who have never thought about maths or science outside of a Facebook post are going to be super excited about this, and if you'd asked the same people ten years ago whether it was worth using taxpayer money to fund research into any of them they would've emphatically told you no lmao.

Code has negative value, which is perversely why vibecoding works. I don't need code, I need things done, and things get done; and I can just ignore that internally, they get done by turning tokens into code. It's Jevons paradox all over again.

Honestly I think like 50% of the Teams 101 course is just me saying this in 30 different ways with 15 different methods of making sure everybody on your team understands that decisions are made to be executed on, not argued about further, that's the whole-ass point of it being a decision.

A trans man in the UK has been banned in the workplace restrooms after he was forced to use the women's restrooms to comply with the new EHRC guidance. The women complained because he is visibly male and so they told him he can't use any bathroom.
A screenshot of a Reddit post from the r/LegalAdviceUK subreddit by user Dijstraanon, titled "FtM transgender facing two different issues at work? England."
The post text reads:
"Brother in law is trans FtM and presents fully as a man. He's now facing an impossible situation at work with his employer telling him that due to recent legislation he must use the toilet of his birth gender. BUT several female colleagues have raised a grievance about him using their gendered toilet.
His employer has told him that he cannot use the toilet while he is at work until they sort it out and cannot give him a timeframe to do so. They do [cut off] have disabled separate toilets.
In the mean time one of his female colleagues has accused him of sexual harassment because he was used their gendered toilet. His menstrual cycle meant he needed to use the toilet.
He's been with the employer for just over 5 years but only in this location for 18 months. The location is mainly male with just a handful of females, and his workshop only has male toilets.
I do not know how to support him and as he's not in a union there is no one to turn too right now."
The post has an orange "Comments Moderated" tag, 169 upvotes, and 134 comments.

my personal view is that you should treat AI as if you were a magician attempting to command a spirit that is inhuman, potentially useful, and invested in attempting to convince you it is something other than it is. you know, rationally.

Haha ok, one of my favourites is that people improve a little each time they attempt something hard in a game (like a Dark Souls boss) and that's why it's satisfying. This is *everywhere* in papers about difficulty. As far as I can tell it runs counter to everything we know about human brains lol.

Hey everyone. 

Last night, to my great surprise, I received a long email from Saber Interactive CEO Matt Karch. He apologized unreservedly for the awful way he spoke about me in the press. The email’s full text will stay between us; I’m not that kind of girl. But I have confirmed it was from him. 

Matt said he regretted escalating, and how people online were speaking about me. I’m not worried about being called slurs by random commenters—I’m a trans woman, that’s every day for me—but it stunk to have my skill and reputation built of 20 years in games publicly maligned by someone with institutional power. One thing I saw people saying about me, and that Matt fueled the flames of too, was that this is not my first time calling a former employer out, so I must love drama or be hard to work with. The truth is, bad treatment is everywhere in games; I’m just more willing than others to call it out. And I call it out so maybe others will be willing, too, when it happens to them.

 I’ve been firm from the beginning that I was telling the truth; I think we can all now agree that’s been borne out. Matt expressed a desire to make it right with me; at this time I don’t really know what that looks like for me, and I’ll have to take some time to sit with it, but I do at least accept his apology. None of this changes my stance on AI. Matt and I obviously differ on this, and as a CEO the consequences of its use fall on him, and unfortunately also on his employees.

Apologies are simply in too short a supply these days to spurn one when it’s offered. 

God willing, this is the last statement I’ll need to make about this.

OTOH. Google removing this "feature" won't prevent anyone from creating AI-generated sattelite images. What the feature does is just reminds everyone that fake sattelite images are one click away and should not be trusted, which is arguably a good thing.
