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.

I was 19 and spent more than half the money I had in my bank account for bus seat from Detroit to DC to go and protest the war before it launched. I saw a cop call a 60 year old lady a traitor and then knock her teeth out with a baton.

1 play for -1 yards and ran 5:29 off the clock? I know its just a misprint, but I’m going to chose to believe it was the most yakety sax play in sports history.

Axon is definitely trying to move in where ever Flock get pushed out. We had 1 day notice before a scheduled vote that they were considering Axon as a replacement, but enough people showed up to delay and eventually stop it. They were going for a 5 year contract, too.

@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

Well my revenue opportunities are above 40T, so if anyone is interested in my company that will use subscription fees to put a slap bounty on a CEO everytime they are criminally optimistic, now is the time to invest.

Moral of the story is organize. Candidates who don’t take corporate money isn’t enough if they all sabotage each others chances. The candidates without corporate money held 50.5% of the vote against one that had a huge endorsement list and money advantage. It was a tough but winnable seat.

Ufford ended up coming in last, behind the guy who was missing in action. Aisha got ~32% (2nd) of the vote and Moss won with 49.5%. Unfortunately it will be much tougher to get moss out of the seat now that he’s there, and the party boosts corporate dems so we will be dealing with him for a while

In my experience the right path has historically been one of the paths that doesn’t lead to genocide.

The 4th guy is pretty much MIA. Jeremy will probably win, Ufford will probably come in second, and Aisha is likely to be 3rd.

Don Ufford is the other candidate, but apparently he was a Republican in 2022. He has now co-opted the progressive language in his campaign. He was an engineer who was involved in Biden’s EV program and got fired when Trump came to office. A real face ate by leopards guy.

Moss is almost certain to win. He is the only candidate flush with corporate money and the other 3 candidates are splitting the vote. Moss was a sponsor of anti-bds law in michigan as well as laws equating criticism of Israel with hate speech. Also gave data centers tax breaks. Fuck him.

Yeah, last time I was on facebook i reported someone calling a black person a chimp and was told no TOS was broken. I appealed and they upheld their ruling, so I deleted my account.

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.

This happened after our company sold to a huge company which made no attempt to leverage any knowledge of the business we had, and made these choices unilaterally against out advice. Lost 4 million in money for doing nothing trying to 4 million more.

I place I worked for did this. We made 4 million in profit annually, 10% Margin. They lost almost all our clients trying to push the margin to 20% through layoffs, outsourcing and raising prices. Finally after two years management visited and admitted they didn’t know what we did.

The more technical and careful the subject thats being summarized is, the more problems the more problems will arise from relying on summaries. Important nuances get lost when being paraphrased with tech thats output is based on probabilities.

Existential Dredd @existentialdredd.bsky.social · 05/06/2026
If you run a summarization on a local LLM vs a online one, it is still based on the training data. Typically the results will be worse on local LLMs just because the online one will likely be running on a model that is way bigger than what an average personal computer can handle.

Existential Dredd @existentialdredd.bsky.social · 05/06/2026
It does add new language when it paraphrases existing content, and there is always a risk of misrepresenting the content. I also don’t like to use hallucinations as it indicates malfunction where there is really just a limitation of the functioning technology.

Existential Dredd @existentialdredd.bsky.social · 05/06/2026
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.
