An LLM is an artificial C-Suite executive. Plausible-sounding outputs that are false half the time, presented with extreme confidence.

Nope, we're going to leave your ass behind. We'll keep automating with testable, repeatable, infrastructure-as-code. Our repos will be well documented by engineers, well organized, and easy to understand. We'll keep honing our skills while you generate copious slop. Oh, and take your poorly veiled threat and and shove it way back up your ass where it belongs. </rant>

My little central Texas suburb showed up! Looked like close to 1000 people. #NoKings

"If you don't start exploring AI tools you'll be left behind."

@weyoun6 @hannu_ikonen This has a lot to do with it. Empathy, and a heart big enough to extend that empathy to the world as a whole. I often find myself asking conservative members of my family the following question when they question my values. "What type of world do you want to live in? One filled with desperation, despair, and sickness; or one filled with love, care, warmth, and health?

Cory Doctorow, once again, clearly breaks down why we are facing what we are facing.

“They want you to feel powerless and surrender and let them trample everything and you are not going to let them. You are not giving up, and neither am I. The fact that we cannot save everything does not mean we cannot save anything and everything we can save is worth saving.” —Rebecca Solnit

@luckytran Yup, she is a human greenwash.

@WarnerCrocker Maybe it's just angry with you?

If you're a tech worker, it's always a good idea to advise your colleagues to not use corporate devices for personal tasks, and never agree to install corporate software on personal devices.

Disappointed that @protonprivacy is jumping on the AI and cryptocurrency bandwagons. Your users want an ethical platform, not just privacy.
