Disclosure, I'm the first citation, so this is maybe a little self-serving, but this is a very good read. My favorite quote: "This is not me saying I don't tolerate people who use LLMs. It is me saying I'm actively intolerant of intolerance, and the association I see between AI boosterism and […]

@hacks4pancakes I can't speak to your industry and place, but it's pretty rare to have a problem like that in NZ. We have someone on our team that went from senior to intermediate to join the team, because that's the position that we had available for them, and they are not treated differently […]

@hacks4pancakes I'm a Kiwi, so my Aussie accent is a bit off, but putting something into a recruitment conversation like "I'm also a public figure, and will occasionally need to take a few days for conferences" Out of recruitment, I don't think anyone will get upset, particularly. Is there a […]

Ok last post stewing about this: I just looked more carefully and pretty much all of the citations are wrong in some strange way. But they're all clearly based on citations that I've used in writing. Don't use genAI for science, kids.

@captcaffiend.bsky.social This looks like privatised healthcare. Monique says they are dumb.

It's a blurb from a dumbass website, the words read:

"Ensuring that there is Consumer Choice in Healthcare Exploring the importance of patient choice, holistic care, and treatment options that support long-term
health and wellbeing."

Just looking at this makes my feel like I have slugs crawling under my skin

Macklemore shared a long statement here www.instagram.com/p/DdRdsy0m2HK/

I'm not sure how to start this. So I'm going to speak from the heart and share the truth. Ed Sheeran and his team have made the decision to remove me from The Loop tour.
But before I get into it, I want to say something that should be obvious. In this moment I think it matters. I am not a victim. Ed Sheeran is not a victim. Pink is not a victim. We have careers, money, opportunities, safety and audiences around the world. Whatever consequences any of us face for what we say, we get to go home to our families.
