Harm is so normalized, being against it, offends.

To each other.

To animals.

To the planet.

To one selves.

It's so normal, people are offended if you're against it.

I am once again asking Canadian journalists to ask the most basic-ass question of "on whose land will these be built?" How is it that every other major industry must consider Indigenous rights but with tech it's like "meh".

I can’t stress enough how utterly embarrassing it is to see experienced artists suddenly use AI

I can never have a shred of respect for someone who used to be a peer & who decided to embrace something that’s the opposite of any craft & any human endeavour

Me *I have to merge two json objects*

Me:

var json1 = JsonSerializer.Serialize(obj1);
var json2 = JsonSerializer.Serialize(obj2);

var merged = json1[..^1] + "," + json2[1..];

var obj = JsonSerializer.Deserialize<T>(merged);

This is frightening. If there isn't footage of something people believe to be true, they'll make it.

This alone is enough for me to dismiss this technology as harmful to society.

Roland Meyer @bildoperationen.bsky.social · 8h

This is both fascinating & frightening. There is a demand for images that show and confirm what people already know and believe to be true, and AI slop meets that demand—with visual content that emblematically visualizes what the headlines report. One could call it synthetic hypervisualization

That TikTok account has a few fake videos of reporters getting detained. They make these videos because it’s a big story in the news. Real reporters are getting arrested. And so people are making AI videos to get engagement on TikTok.

Instead of all the AI hype shit, people at microsoft working on blazor stuff could work on cool stuff, like making the 'record' type natively supported for EditForm n stuff.

But no, "just use ai to make your form and poco and all" no matter how shit the output.

Y'all gave up caring.

Für Jan ist einfach alles Antisemitismus und damit dann sofort weg vom Tisch.

Ob Jan dabei Recht hat, ist Jan egal. Hauptsache er kann dann rumheulen und auf Enttäuscht tun. Wen interessiert schon Völkermord, Unterdrückung, etc?

Nicht den Jan. Der will davon nix hören.

Sei nicht wie Jan.

Over 40% of corn grown in Indiana is used to make ethanol that cars burn. One acre of corn yields about 16,500 vehicle-miles per year of ethanol, which sounds high until you realize that one acre of solar yields about 2,700,000 vehicle-miles per year: 16,000% more driving for a given plot of land.

people are going to post AI slop...sometimes they just do not realize it at the time and have the good graces to delete it

but if they are told and keep posting it your safest action is just to block them because they will continue to spread it

not just "a ceasefire deal", but basically the same deal that exists now. that deal offer existed btw since october 9th or 10th 2023.

Nathan Kalman-Lamb @nkalamb.bsky.social · 16h

I will never get over this.

It is MINDBLOWING that Biden/Kamala could have had a ceasefire deal in Sept 2024. Would have won them the election without a doubt. And yet could not do it because Israel’s right to exterminate millions of people could not be violated. This is where racism will lead you folks

UNICEF reports that 320,000 children under five in Gaza are suffering from severe malnutrition, and over 56,000 have lost one or both of their parents.

Das würde ja bedeuten, dass die Armee zu so ner Aufräumaktion fähig wäre. Dann lieber doch die Feuerwehr.

Ein Beispiel für Demokratiegerechtigkeitsverständnis:

Ne Gruppe von 10 Leuten will was bei McD Essen bestellen. 6 wollen Burger, 4 wollen Nuggies.

Normal: Man geht 6x Burger und 4x Nuggies holen.

Demokratie: Mehrheit will Burger. Es werden 10x Burger geholt.

So fair. So gerecht. 🤷‍♀️

Thinking about that time the My Little Pony comics, of all things, absolutely bodied Scott Adams.

Close up of Pinkie Pie looking at a newspaper comic saying “Hmpf. I thought these were supposed to be funny?”

The comic is called Ponybert by Trot Adams. It opens with a building and we see a word balloon that says “Well?” The second panel is of Ponybert, the Dilbert stand-in saying “No one is smart but me.”

Imagine posting an issue on a topic on github and then ya get fucking copilot assigned to solve it.

The absolute disrespect of everyone at @microsoft.com at this point.

Ms. Rachel calls out Barack Obama's statement on Gaza, highlighting how referring to 'Israeli families' while calling Palestinians 'the people of Gaza' strips them of their humanity. 'Palestinians have families, too,' she wrote.
