i am not a wrathful person but all the rationalization about AI gets to me! every lie or piece of boosterism is a direct attack on an art form i love. i am a professional programmer. all my code was written by me. don't ever make up lies about other people's processes to justify your AI use.

someone willfully sharing an advertisement to everybody that follows them on social media: “why is this ad subtly inappropriate in a way that gives the advertiser the barest minimum plausible deniability 🤣🤣🤣"

it’s so funny seeing people defend a vibe-coded webapp that would not take at all very long to make without an llm by saying “this couldn’t possibly exist without vibe-coding!” skill issue i guess! i promise you people made silly free webapps for fun before 2023

I'm not using AI for a single thing, even though I'm a programmer. I don't care how many coders are doing it. They are wrong and I can squat more than them.

My experience is of every American COVID-19 mitigation effort being obviously insufficient, and ended far too soon. To see people now argue that they somehow were too much, going too far? Not anti-vax or MAGA people, but folks just out here on Bluesky? It staggers me.

It's bizarre how repeatedly people keep hijacking the conversation about Accessibility away from things like closed captioning, colorblindness support, alt-text for screen-readers, etc, to "Games should be easier to play, books should be easier to read, and shows should be simple to understand"

Anyway, for the dozenth time: I’ve seen a lot. I believe our struggles are intersectional & shared regardless of if they manifest differently or hit with varying degrees of severity. I align with the oppressed even if they aren’t philosophically or intellectually where I’m at. Simple as for me.

I use technology in order to hate it properly - Nam June Paik
TV Buddha is a video sculpture by Nam June Paik first produced in 1974, but exists in multiple versions. In the work, a Buddha statue watches an image of itself on a TV screen. The screen's image is produced by a live video camera trained on the Buddha statue.

I don't like the AI memes regardless of who uses them and how because intentionally or unintentionally when you generate that stuff, due to the locations of data centers, what you are engaging in anti-Blackness and actively harming southern Black people who go through & have been through enough.
