@malwaretechMarcus Hutchins :verified: I've been thinking about points like these quite hard. As a young student, I've found there are not many scenarios (again, as a student) in which I feel comfortable using AI. It is good for quick projects and the tech is undeniably cool, but I am trying my best to be my best and I don't think AI fits into that picture. It would be silly to say "AI is useless"; it's not. But, awareness must be raised w/r/t the influence of brain-inspired algorithms.

P.S.: studying algo.s has...

When ChatGPT was released 3 years ago I never anticipated how it could become a source of tensions with people in my life.

So to add to its many damages, it's a source of:

- environmental catastrophe
- economic bubble
- monumental job losses with bosses leaning into AI and laying off workers
- loss of critical thinking
- destruction of higher ED methods
- further isolation with people using AI characters as "romantic partners"
- dangerous medical advice (especially with reliance on it for mental health support)

(I'm probably forgetting other important things)

AND:

source of tensions inside homes and with friends when you have a person critical of AI (🙋‍♀️​) attempting to reason with a person whose default setting is: "I'll ask ChatGPT". Pointing out flagrant mistakes by AI seems to make their heads explode and get angry at the messenger. Ouf.

Sorry for the downer but I'm sure this is a pretty common problem...

Anyway, this morning I was given hope by a toot from @jwildeboerJan Wildeboer 😷:krulorange: and I should just keep focusing on that. And make sure my own child doesn't buy into the BS of AI... https://mastodon.social/@jwildeboer@social.wildeboer.net/115799050671506747

今晚日本重大新聞:29日中午在東京新宿刺傷30多歲女性的30多歲中國男子,逃亡後在剛剛被捕了。

當時他刺傷這位美容店女性店員包括右胸與腹部等四處傷口,女子送醫時還有意識,並清楚告訴他人「下手的是男客人」。

今晚日本網路又有一波憤怒潮。

今年在國外買的書本最喜歡的一本是這本日本的文樣,這本是在京都博物館購買的,當時在找有分時代的日本和服、裝飾紋樣的歷史資料,這本雖然沒有把時代區分看不出流行的變化,不過因為是口袋書尺寸,我無法抵擋口袋書的魅力所以年底回顧還是推薦它❤️,他是一本很適合對日本常用裝飾紋樣入門的手冊。

不過要說不滿的地方,喜事、祭事、地位象徵、一般流行的紋樣都有,但是避忌的紋樣很少有作者提及,但從我角度看要了解一個地方的文化了解那個避忌是很重要的,今後再繼續尋找。

황실인간들은 눈이 이쁘다는 설정 폐하랑 폐하 남동생이랑 폐하 딸 셋 다 속눈썹 길고 눈도 반짝반짝 머리색은 자연(네?) 근데 황실가족들이 다 해체돼서 궁내에는 폐하밖에 없고 황태자랑 폐후는 배타고 있고 친왕전하는 해난연구목적으로 연구소 짱박혀있음 입헌군주제 된 지 오래되진 않아서 일부 실권을 쥐고 있는 부분은 있는데 실질적으로는 마스코트 인식

End of the year is hitting me harder than I'd like. I'm tired of no amount of production ever being enough; I'm tired of people asking me to teach and give talks for free; I'm tired of making new websites and content; I'm tired of being evaluated continually on nothing but production

yes I made altbot

yes I contributed most of the code

yes I run the main instance and have a server in a data center mainly for it

but. altbot is not only my project. i get busy, I get tired, I get bored. i do what I can to maintain and support it. but help from other people would be also very helpful. like, a proper github issue is better than a fedi dm telling me what's wrong. but contributing a fix to it would help me. a lot more than anything else.

i feel like Ive been in this weird in between, like all my code is open source and copy left, but.. its still only me doing the coding.

Ive gotten help from some close friends, with moral support, sometimes even planning, and processing criticism.

but like.. idk, how high is altbot's bus factor? all the code is opensource.. but would anyone actually step up to maintain it? my honest opinion is no.

and I feel that I somehow failed in specifically building a community for altbot. i somehow made it a thing people use and rely on.. but not a thing that people wanna help fix or work on. and I don't know how to change that to be honest.

or how to even change that for future projects. maybe I don't know how to interest other people codewise. but honestly I just dont know.

i really wish altbot had a community which discussed how to make it better all the time, and where I wouldnt even nessicerally be making the big decisions.

or maybe all this is just wishful thinking..

낮 동안 우리를 활기 있게 하신 저의 주님, 날아다니는 스파게티 괴물 님,
당신과 함께 있으리니, 자는 동안도 지켜 주시어 편히 쉬게 하소서.

"15. 내일도 주님의 소스와 성면으로 살아갈 힘을 얻게 하소서. "

🍝 날아다니는 스파게티 괴물 님께서 여러분과 함께.
😋 또한 주교의 면발과 함께 하소서.
🍝 기도합시다.
저의 주님, 날아다니는 스파게티 괴물 님, 이 밤을 편히 쉬게 하시고, 거룩한 죽음을 맞게 하소서.
