The paint.net thing is actually so sad to me. I understand many of the valid concerns with AI, but dogpiling and harassing a freeware developer isn't the way to advocate against AI. At best you'll be ignored, at worst you'll turn people against your cause. This isn't an isolated incident either […]

If you have a half-hour to spare, would highly recommend watching HOW TO FIND A CAREER THAT LOVES YOU BACK. Neat short film about the trans experience in (defense) tech, morals vs economic security, and love. Think someone here might find it relatable (or at least interesting) :p […]

one of the better things I've read on AI recently: www.scottsmitelli.com/articles/you-…
scottsmitelli.com
You don't have to if you don't want to.
"In the year 5555, your arms are hangin' limp at your sides, your legs got nothing to do, some machine doin' that for you." Zager and Evans sang these words in 1969. Now, thirty-five centuries ahead of schedule, it's never been easier to tell the world "I didn't care about this and I don't care about you."

Somehow, the tech-bros on Twitter have gotten worse since the new year. By no means, do I deny the capabilities of LLMs, when they do exist. I've been experimenting with them for a while, so I'm confident I know how these tools perform. But, I almost feel gaslit the way people on that app talk […]

it's crazy how the EITC is restricted to those 25+, and how low the limit is if you claim without having children in this economy, you'd think the young, who we can't assume have family to support them, would have much to benefit from this type of relief /shrug
