5 years of being self-employed today. Holy shit.

@GossiTheDog It's learning. It's down to just Tuesday And Wednesday for me 👍

'The Sheep Detectives' was exactly on my level yesterday.

@simsa03 (Some averages will stay more average than others.)

@simsa03 (Not that the average will stay the same, of course.)

@simsa03 "On average, about the same.

The deviation might change a bit though."

You can't control technology. Truly transformative technology is inevitable.

Except if you spend millions on lobbyists and deals to legislate against it of course.

All of it is a choice.

Dear ChatGPT how do I answer my son when he asks me what the weather will be like when he's my age?

And that is the Artists Open House *wrap*. Art was done. Lovely conversations and a good time were had. We feel proud, we feel slightly less like imposters than we did at the start. Yet this is only a start. The start of the Imposter Club.

@TheMightyGit Sorry, but just no way I can't see it as a helmeted crab creature face.

New record player. Who disc?

@adrianh @Thayer For the big companies, the end game is definitely to drop humans altogether - at least Meta are up front about it: https://tech.slashdot.org/story/26/05/10/0545234/nyt-metas-embrace-of-ai-is-making-its-employees-miserable

For everyone else, I guess it's a continuum between wanting to save money and not wanting to be left behind. Delivering faster, not better. Press releases are, as always, the only impact that matter... :-/

This is your daily reminder not not not ever ever EVER to use First Press Games for anything ever.

@JulianOliver Read this yesterday. By the end it felt like I'd been sucked into an LLM-generated managementhole. "Everyone is on my team"? I thought we'd satired the shit out of this shit by now.

. @Thayer @adrianh Seriously struggling to take a sensible line on all this right now. Experience, caution, art and craft of the industry seem to be being thrown under the bus. Plenty of people seem to hate it. But how much engagement with it is needed, or is enough? MVAI? Full craftspersonship?

@Thayer @adrianh Someone showed me the token usage dashboard for their (other large) company last week and I felt a bit sicky. Very sales centrey, intended to get staff to compete against each other, but with that nagging feeling that it's all just to train up the models even further and do away with them.

All so f***ing short-sighted, inefficient, and dehumanising in my view. But hey, can't stop progress right?
