A potential client put out a request for proposals to win work from them. The RFP is so obviously AI generated that its asking for esoteric things that can’t be technically demonstrated. All my managers are putting the language into chatbots and reading the output to explain the ask. We are cooked.

@margaret.bsky.social good news from Ferndale. We defeated Axon. The council voted 5-1 to approve the contract, but with the stipulation that the contract would end if they didn’t write a citywide survailence statute by the end of the year. The pushback was hard enough that they let the contract end

I just realized that a target demographic for meta glasses are people suffering from AI psychosis. The need in these people to defend the honor of AI from society is being leveraged into a general need to associated themselves with other technologies that are being rejected by society.

Yes, it would. The LLM is using its training data, which includes other people’s stolen work to produce the output. Without that training the LLM couldn’t paraphrase the existing manuscript to generate the summary. All AI summaries are absolutely unethical, and aren’t really that good.

I think the new challenge rules in baseball should be expanded to allow the challenging team to eject an Umpire after a threshold of successful challenges are reached. It’s time for the players to finally be allowed to get the Ump back with a “you’re outta here” emote of their own.

I will not be watching the new Harry Potter show because I don’t support TERF terrorists like JK Rowling. I won’t even pirate it because its a show for babies, and I’m not a baby.

Yet another case of automated austerity. When the humans in the loop are actually just treated as vestigial organs waiting to be removed. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03...
A new algorithm for determining how much aged care support people can receive to remain living at home is being blamed for reducing care for older Australians.

Peter Willcocks, who was on a Department of Health aged care panel, likens the new Integrated Assessment Tool (IAT) system to the Robodebt fiasco because clinical assessors cannot override its algorithm — even if they think the person deserves a higher level of care.

Early communications from the department advised assessors they would have the power to "override" the algorithm, but that option was later removed.

There is something metaphysically monstrous about becoming a part of the State. Your eyes see strange things, looking past inconvenient atrocities. You speak with a strange voice, say words that aren't yours. Your soul contorts itself in strange shapes, trying to appear beautiful when it is ugly.

If thousands of my neighbors just died at the hands of their own government and then my daughter was blown up by some chucklefuck on the other side of the planet claiming to help, I would walk into sea. It is hard to fathom the suffering innocent Iranians are enduring. God have mercy.

Wild that my boss wrote a panicked email about how our company is being underestimated for its AI capabilities after our stock price dropped with the big AI companies. No one in management at this company has being doing anything but ruining their brain with chatbots for the last 2 years.

I went to Minneapolis to see what it means when ICE occupies a city. And I left with one unmistakable realization: ICE is not broken. It is working exactly as President Donald Trump wants it to. It cannot be reformed or retrained. It must be abolished.

El Sayed: It's time to abolish ICE
After the violence of the last year, abolishing ICE is not extreme; it is the necessary next step.

In order to combat labor unions they are switching to a totally computerized system that cuts down their labor force. And then there's the plot of the movie.

Management gets a lot wrong with AI, but I think one thing they don’t understand is that when they ask ChatGPT to plan out a project that reciting that plan to upper management may work, but when they do the same to experts who implement the plan, they are doing irreparable reputational self harm.
