@tante I, for one, enjoyed the write-up.

As you, I do plenty of things that I either cannot morally or ethically defend or simply am ignorant of the harms of.

For other technology, I am either pressured to use it (by government or similar institutions) or I can at least use it 'for good' (facilitating some other good - in current case, student administration) and also make a living.

For LLMs, I fail to see the redeeming qualities that make the compromise 'worth it'. It's all nett negatives.

@tante My point is that LLMs 'try' (and very often fail) to solve the wrong problem.

Writing all the boilerplate -> should be solved by better frameworks.
Spell check -> I think this is already invented.
Summarize long texts -> Executive summaries.
Produce (verbose) text -> Writing in my view is as much thinking as it is writing - skipping the thinking part is counter-productive.

Ja, sgu! Mere af det her:

Den franske og tyske stat er gået sammen om at lave et dokument-værktøj bygget til samarbejde og deling af information (Holland er på vej ombord, også).

Så fælles redigering af dokumenter og wiki-funktion - og det virker offline! Kan self-hostes!

No notes.

Kom nu for hævled Danmark, det her skib skal vi da med på!

@aral Been supporting them for a couple of years, time to up the support!

Jeg elsker alt ved den her historie:

Især den afsluttende bemærkning: "Hvor mange bævere, der har bidraget til byggeriet, vides ikke, men der bor en koloni på omkring otte europæiske bævere i området, skriver Radio Prague International."

Fucking -8- bævere har totalt owned menneskene på alle parametre.

If you ever had doubts whether technology is political:

(Short recap: Github CoPilot stops working if you have gender-related words in your code, anything related to sex and so on).

@jwildeboer Background: I was part of the crew that made Coding Pirates in Denmark - a non-profit teaching kids IT, broadly.

Which structure you should choose very much depends on what you want to achieve imo - for us, creating a foundation created a disconnect between the foundation and the volunteers - since much of the work in the foundation was fund-raising.. to pay their own salary.

I think, I see where you are going, but very interested in hearing your thoughts on coops.

@MediaActivist It is one of the worst 'gotcha' questions by interviewers such as Piers Morgan - "Would you be okay with Usain Bolt competing with women?!?!" Short answer: "Yes" - longer answer: "I really couldn't give one flying rat's arse". Society's changed - so, sports should change along with it.
