This morning I got an email from a sender that identified itself as an AI agent.

So - plus for being upfront about it, but... please don't do this.

I get that a lot of people are really, really, really into AI tools. OK. I have my opinions on them, you have yours. I have major qualms about them, some people think they're the best thing ever.

OK. Fine. But when your use of these things spills over into the rest of the world, it's no longer a question of my opinion vs. your opinion, my decisions vs. your decisions.

At this point, things have moved from each person doing their own thing to inflicting your use of AI onto me without my consent.

Before this spirals out of control, which I can see happening *very* quickly, I'd like for us to agree on a piece of netiquette:

- it is rude in the extreme to set loose an AI agent to reach out to people who have not consented to interact with these things.

- it is rude to have an AI agent submit pull requests that human maintainers have to review.

- it is rude to have an AI agent autonomously interact with humans in any way when they have not consented to take part in whatever experiment you are running.

- it is unacceptable to have an AI agent autonomously interact with humans without identifying the person or organization behind the agent. If you're not willing to unmask and have a person reach out to you with their thoughts on this, then don't have an AI agent reach out to me.

Stuff like this really sours me on technology right now. If I didn't have a family and responsibilities, I'd be seriously considering how I could go live off the grid somewhere without having to interact with this stuff.

Again: I'm not demanding that other people not use AI/LLMs, etc. But when your use spills out into my having to have interactions with an agent's output, you need to reconsider. Your ability to spew things out into the universe puts an unwanted burden on other humans who have not consented to this.

Kabinet v pondělí schválil nařízení, podle něhož budou mít uprchlíci z Ukrajiny i letos možnost požádat o udělení zvláštního dlouhodobého pobytu.
💬 „Podmínky, jejichž splnění je předpokladem pro získání zvláštního dlouhodobého pobytu, se nemění,“ uvedlo ministerstvo vnitra v aktuálním materiálu.
Zvláštní dlouhodobý pobyt tak mohou i letos získat uprchlíci s dočasnou ochranou, kteří:
▪ jsou v Česku alespoň dva roky,
▪ jsou ekonomicky soběstační,
▪ jsou bezúhonní,
▪ mají zajištěné bydlení.

@mattiemMatt Massicotte I like “knowledge debt”. Reminds me of Peter Naur’s Programming as Theory Building paper (1985). I came across it a few months ago (not coincidentally, in the context of LLM/vibe coding criticism). PDF: pages.cs.wisc.edu/~remzi/Naur. One of the main theses is that the primary outcome of the software development process is not the piece of software, but the team’s shared understanding of the problem domain and how they modeled it in the code.

If an "AI" company can sell you access to software that will replace a $250k/year software engineer. They're going to charge $249k/year for it.

That's how capitalism works.

Well, they're going to charge $20k/year at first, during the land rush phase. Wait for some competitors to die off. Keep it low a while longer to kill off the incumbents. Then it'll jump up a bunch, before finally being even more expensive than the original thing.

"In Europe and worldwide, people are recognising that news publishers, progressive content creators, non-profits and civic society rely on platforms that don’t share our values. Platforms which optimise algorithms for surveillance, outrage and profit."

Wondering what we're up to at the Newsmast Foundation? 🤔

🗨️ 👩🏽‍💻 was right; the entire economic and banking system profits from and - q.e.d.

Anyone doing with this apartheid-style settler project Israel should be on a wanted list

Neither the resistance in nor in southern can lay down their arms - I think war is inevitable; Lebanon, , and know it 👇🏽
