You see what's happening right?

They are preventing you from accessing the means of computing, making you reliant on their services in the future they're building.

At astronomical rents.

That Old Guy with the Beard @IanAMartin@mstdn.ca

I’m taking another Leave of Absence because the last one really didn’t happen. I was still sorting out paperwork getting to everyone from everyone else around the same time I was returning to work.

The point of these LoAs is to forget about work and concentrate on your inner self, after all. So the above experience seems counter-productive.

Anyway, it’s been less than a week but I’m still sleeping until the late-morning; and yesterday I was in bed until 17:45. I feel shame.

Somehow I need to get my act together and find things to do during the day, otherwise I literally have no reason to get out of bed.

Oh, me…

RE: infosec.exchange/@littlealex/1

Why do I suspect that Lockheed's reaction to foreign customers jailbreaking F-35s will be just as understanding and conciliatory as Apple's response to customers jailbreaking iPhones (only multiply severity of the reaction by 10,000 per unit for the price of the item they've just lost control of)?

I've been honestly adding Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> to every commit where I used an LLM even slightly—whether it's generating test scaffolding, drafting docs, or just bouncing ideas. I thought transparency was the right thing to do. Turns out, people see that trailer and immediately assume the whole thing is “vibe coded” AI slop, no further questions asked. The irony is that being honest about my process is what's getting my work dismissed.

Now I'm genuinely torn. Do I keep the trailer and accept that some people will write off my work at a glance? Or do I drop it and lose something I actually believe in? It's frustrating that there's no widely understood distinction between “I prompted an LLM to write my entire app” and “I used an LLM as a tool while writing my own code.” I don't have an answer yet—just sitting with the discomfort for now.
