It’s insane how quickly the world embraced hallucination machines that are nothing more than a glorified tech demo into every facet of our lives 😮‍💨

Screenshot of article with the following text highlighted: “One error on pension tax rules by Claude Haiku 4.5, one of its free models, released last year, risked a pension saver facing a £17,500 charge from HMRC, the research found. In another case, when asked about student loans, Claude “invented a rule” and said a graduate could stop repayments if they were moving abroad.”

This is a really important story. You know how over reliance on AI makes you lazy and stupid? This shows how that’s happening within the military — a military, it cannot be pointed out often enough, that’s growing ever more reliant on AI. The children of Shajarah Tayyebah Elementary paid the price

I feel it’s crazy that nobody outside of trans people and REALLY invested allies seems to know that the internal trans refugee crisis is one of the biggest internal refugee migrations the United States has ever experienced.

It is so mentally corrosive to try to ascertain, every day, whether the images I am seeing or the texts I am getting or the phone calls I am receiving are real - produced by a human who is trying to communicate something with me, even indirectly. It makes me feel insane and paranoid all the time

In amongst all the AI madness, people seem to have forgotten that the point of working in very small increments with very frequent releases is to get feedback sooner so that we can adjust what we're building to best meet our customers' needs. 1/5

just to say it out loud: I’m a professional software developer. I do not and will not use LLM tools for coding. For a lot of reasons. Saying “everybody uses them” isn’t a valid excuse, because no, we don’t.

It's never too late to stop using AI. It doesn't matter what you're using it for, however much you're relying on it, you can stop. There's nothing it does that can't be replaced by other, better methods. You can always learn new skills, it's never too late.

Please be vocal about not using AI. We have to normalize it. No "I'm not going to say that because it should be assumed. I'm not going to give them this". We don't have time for that shit ideological shit right now. NOW is the time to capitalize on waning favorability. Ppl want human made

How accurate is vote-by-mail? Whatcom County, WA just conducted a hand recount of 50,451 ballots in a race separated by just 4 votes: "In the end, it was a 100% match. Every vote came out the same, every time. There were no allegations of lost or fraudulent votes, or missed votes in the machines."

I think it's the industry/AI hurting us. There was some hope of React slowly falling away from being The Only Thing, accessibility maybe increasing, web hosts seemed to care about green energy credentials and people were considering lowering bundle size and deleting emails to save energy.

Asbestos is pretty great. Naturally-occurring *and* fire-resistant? Sure, people harp on the "downsides". But every contractor is using it whether they admit it or not. It's here to stay. You're getting left behind. There's literally no other option. I mean, what would you honestly do without it?

I like Devolver a huge amount, but this quote is just very strange Like, you *chose* to go public. You knew exactly what it would entail, and how much bullshit would come with it. It's strange to put out quotes being pissy about the inevitable outcome

My dog was not pleased that her kong was Big Walk's main foley prop 👁️ I used it for the grab and release sound of every other prop, all the body movements, and all the footsteps. It even came into the woods where I recorded it on the many different surfaces! 🎤

I knew Big Walk was good when I played it for @alexspencerdale.bsky.social's Edge cover feature last year. I didn't anticipate how special the full game would be, nor that its ending would leave me floored. An unforgettable experience, which I grappled with for EG: www.eurogamer.net/big-walk-rev...
