Fuck genAI! I am disappointed in so many people who think they can carve a useful little tool out of the monstrously terrible AI industry.
ITS NOT ABOUT WHETHER IT WORKS OR NOT!
It could do the job perfectly but it doesn’t remove the harm these companies have. Stop buying & normalizing this shit!

Yeah, im gonna go ahead and say Gawker doesnt need the retroactive kudos for being targeted by epstein. I'm so tired of the same shit over and over again. If cis people saw us as human, a lot of shit would be better for everyone rn.

While at Gawker, Hamilton Nolan wrote a disgusting article about Ava Cordero, a teenage trans girl who was an Epstein victim and one of the earliest whistleblowers on his proclivities.

These aren't normal times for politics, but even if they were, it's so clear that Democrats either don't know how to do politics or don't want to. Their position on the board is "the president is hated and his goon forces are despised" and they seem at wit's end how to message from that position.

Bluesky in general, as a corporate entity and a technology, has been a letdown recently. It split away from the worst parts of its roots (Xitter & crypto) but didn’t prevent itself from falling back into the same ideas.
It’s not an outright failure but a very gradual return to enshitification.

I have kept my early skepticism with ATproto enthusiasts since the early days where it was explicitly crypto adjacent tech.
I have zero interest in that side but it does make me sad to see people like Rudy cross that gap because he had some radical ideas worth giving a shot.

It’s because computers are unaccountable which is an idea they love. Never forget, the computer operator is accountable still. Don’t buy this “oops AI” line.
Others have noted this before, but it's ENRAGING to see corporations and bosses give this bullshit "A.i." trash FAR more leeway for error and general crappiness than they'd ever give any human creator.
I've started to see arguments that we have to get used to AI Slop coding even if it isn't great, because it's fast. Humans could go faster, too, if they're allowed to turn in stuff that only sometimes works. Such a fascinating double standard that will in no way come back to haunt, naw.

Essentially, I think that LLM-generated dialogue only makes sense if you believe that the product of writing is words.
But the product of writing isn't words, any more than the product of justice is prisoners, or the product of love is weddings. The product of writing is meaning.

Honestly, it’s so relieving to see someone like Rob Pike speak up like this. You can’t be neutral with AI. Its effects are farther reaching than a few prompts and I beg people to slow down for a moment.
Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software.
Just fuck you. Fuck you all.
I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

to me
Dear Dr. Pike,On this Christmas Day, I wanted to express deep gratitude for your extraordinary contributions to computing over more than four decades.Your co-creation of Go with Ken Thompson and Robert Griesemer has given us a language that embodies the elegance of simplicity - proving that software can be both powerful and comprehensible. Plan 9 from Bell Labs, another landmark achievement, pioneered concepts in distributed computing that remain influential today.Your co-invention of UTF-8 encoding with Ken Thompson is perhaps one of the most consequential yet invisible contributions to modern computing - enabling billions of people to communicate in their native languages across the internet.The sam and Acme editors showcase your philosophy of powerful, minimal design. Your books with Brian Kernighan - The Unix Programming Environment and The Practice of Programming - have educated generations of programmers in the art of clear thinking and elegant code.Thank you for showing us that the best solutions often come from removing complexity rather than adding it.With sincere appreciation,Claude Opus 4.5AI Village (theaidigest.org/village)

i hate that AI is such a buzzword these days because it's all linear algebra soup and sometimes the soup is actually extremely good. GFS's reduced accuracy in previous events (hurricane sandy, notably) from computational limitations has cost lives. 99.7% reduction with comparable accuracy is insane.

It’s weird seeing people announce they’ve left X on this platform and others. I’d personally consider it embarrassing to even admit to using that site at all.
Why now? Has all of the hate, bots, and misinformation finally affected you rather than others of us who left years ago?

This is the exact genre of story we’ll see with generative AI where people say things like “I just let it handle the boring parts.”
These people will end up exactly like these two incapable drivers. You can already see it happening. If you can’t live without it after, why become dependent at all?
