Hackers' Pub is a place for software engineers to share their knowledge and experience with each other. It's also an ActivityPub-enabled social network, so you can follow your favorite hackers in the fediverse and get their latest posts in your feed.
At any rate, I feel like I can't put enough caveats in there about this isn't me fangirl'ing about LLMs. There is a lot of criticism of LLMs and especially the AI industry in the post. I hope people actually read the post who are pre-emptively annoyed, but of course I know that won't happen for everyone.
@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber It's very interesting, and I appreciate you taking the time to write down your thoughts. You touched on many caveats, and I share all the concerns you mentioned. But one question I have that I wish we'd spend more time discussing is why do we want to create intelligent (presumably sentient) agents instead of focusing on creating a workshop filled with reliable, non-sentient tools?
The earth abounds in natural intelligences, and humanity still struggles to extend rights, compassion, and empathy to its own kind let alone the others we share this planet with. But given we are surrounded by natural intelligences, what are the motivations for creating an "artificial" one? Are these motivations healthy and ethical? Should we be doing it at all?
Of course, you're not responsible for answering these questions. But when I ponder these questions, the answers I come up with are not good.

I'm going to implant a chip in my left ass cheek and all it does is boot Linux with systemd and print "systemd gets more ass than anti-systemd nerds" to serial and then reboot, over and over again.
I don't follow figure skating, so I had never heard of these two before last week. This was an amazing performance, but I was more interested in the personalities. Although she's tiny, I thought for sure she must be the older one, because she is calm and collected whether they succeed or fail, and he cries like a baby whether they succeed or fail. Turns out he's 33 and she's 24. After their win, he's crying and she's laughing, "He's been doing nothing but cry all day." 😂 https://apnews.com/article/milan-cortina-winter-olympics-figure-skating-5dbb8bd487a0b9bbf16420f7e4b89a0f

I had to.
From Flock cameras to fusion centers, “free” surveillance equipment funded by tech vendors, federal grants, and private donors locks cities into recurring costs and long-term data‑sharing, including with ICE. The end result is an erosion of our civil liberties. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/02/free-surveillance-tech-still-comes-high-and-dangerous-cost

I am just so tired of this "AI" shit. Truly. Not just the extra maintenance burden on my but the constant discussions that lead nowhere. I can keep making the same arguments against using "AI" for anything relevant from here till the cows come home but it's not gonna change people's opinion. Because they are "on AI" or their bosses force it upon them or whatever.
But honestly. It's all been said. Neither does the tech change significantly (regardless of what the boosters tell you) nor do the other facts at hand, the brain and skill atrophy, the exploitation, the ecological impact, etc. etc. etc.
Dunno. It's hard to keep doing this whole "keep making your point and maybe some people will change their mind thing" when the facts are all on the table and people just have made decisions I find morally questionable.
Maybe I am just tired. Will keep doing the same shit tomorrow. Keep running against that concrete wall hoping that it will somehow crumble.

Can't believe our youngest turned 3 today. What even is time, Fedi.
So the date with the goth girl I mentioned a couple of months ago went so well that she's moving in soon 🥰
hey folks, it's been a while since I actively posted - my mental health has been on the fritz after some of our community members disappeared from public life (like jessica/rooster), and the general state of life as a trans girl in the US.
That being said, I miss y'all. Enjoy a comfy, slightly thirsty pic of a tired, stressed out trans girl ❤️

# Love & solidarity
We welcome ourselves in
To a world we long to meet
At a gathering that feels like luxury
When the climb to change feels this long and that steep.
But when we practice being present
It's not about escaping from the fight
It's about readying our foundations
To hold more people through the night.
This is love. This is resistance. This is solidarity.
We learn to feel it in our bones right here
So that we can feel it in the streets
Disrupting all the patterns
That we have known from old.
It takes more than just campaigning
If we want to dismantle narratives we were sold.
Every single slow and thoughtful conversation
Is a rehearsal for the time
When we've got to tell that judge, that cop, that bailiff
That if it's my neighbours problem, it's also mine.
This is love. This is resistance. This is solidarity.
Slow down to feel it in your bones right here
So that you can feel it in the streets.

Every movie set in Toronto is either trying as hard as possible to cover up the fact it was filmed in Toronto, or else literally the entire movie is Toronto in-jokes (Nirvanna The Band The Show The Movie, Going In, Scott Pilgrim). There is no medium. Except "Exotica" (1994). Which is what makes that movie art
