Ok, viele fragen, wie ich das "durch Zufall" rausfand 🙃
Ich wollte eigentlich aus (veganen) Würstchen eine Currywurst-Pfanne machen. Dafür hab ich Zwiebeln angebraten. Dann fiel mir ein, dass Köche an Currywurstsoße oft Cola machen. Hab einkochen lassen, abgeschmeckt: Stadtfest-Hotdogbuden-Zwiebeln.

It makes me terribly sad that one of the effects OpenAI's image generator has had on me (as someone who has never used it) is that I've come to automatically associate drawings in the Ghibli style as "cheap slop". It's not a conscious judgment. It's an impulse from the hindbrain.
This, I suspect, was the point.
An insult to life itself, indeed.

It's demotivating to think that:
- LLMs aren't good at producing original / novel work
- You still need experts to advance that stuff
- It will always be slower to move without using LLMs
- Once an innovation is done though, an innovation can always be scooped up by the LLM users
- "Bro why are you doing all this manually, I just vibe coded that in a weekend"
Will it always be this way? It's depressing in the meanwhile, at least.
In a sense, the decision is somewhat made for us in that we're developing next-generation stuff that LLMs don't know how to auto-code at 
@spritelyThe Spritely Institute. We are working on core infrastructure that needs to be carefully thought about and written. LLMs introduce a lot of errors and aren't good at doing this kind of work on their own.
And the goal was always that our work is there to be lifted from, to spread outward, the way people have long drawn from the well of the MIT / Stanford research labs in CS for decades, but for decentralized networking today
But doing it now, in this way, in this environment, it's just really depressing and demotivating.

@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber @spritelyThe Spritely Institute We need you guys.
The thing that scares me the most is that in 10 years time there'll be no new people able to code new stuff, to innovate.
And *that* is the main reason why we absolutely need you guys. Regardless of how demotivating it may seem right now.

@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber @spritelyThe Spritely Institute I had the near identical thought earlier - that someone needs to be doing the novel stuff, but we've created an environment that is, broadly speaking, uniquely demotivating to the sort of people that tend to do that sort of thing.

@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber im still resisting the belief that 'moving fast' is at all good or useful. sprinting is shitting out bad software to abandon next year, but most of us know that real value lies in the marathon of maintenance and careful conscious choices

I keep being baffled by whole industries using AI as a fancy search in a database. Yes, they memorize and reproduce, which is both a copyright and a privacy issue.
No, they're not 100% accurate in either memorizing or reproducing, which is a liability issue. Can we stop abusing these transformer based models as a fake solution to problems they're not made for? Not everything is a nail, so stop throwing your fancy hammer at it.
A reminder for #Firefox fans! Firefox 148 ships on 24 February (in 1 day).
This newest release brings us the #AI "kill switch" that has been promised. I've been testing it both in the Beta and Nightly releases of Firefox. From what I've seen so far, it does what it says.
However, only time will tell if user preferences are preserved across updates and upgrades. In the past that has not been the case for many people.

This morning I was given notice of redundancy - my last day is this Friday. The school I work for is closing my department
I’ve worked there for 15 years & the current teaching staff is the best I’ve ever seen. Just outrageously good teachers. Students love us. We absolutely rock
Unfortunately, management did their jobs really badly, so now teachers are unemployed (don’t worry - managers get to stay, phew!)
This is how shocked Max was when I told him
"I want to establish a wide range and play all kinds of parts. It's that sort of acting career I really respect. I like to turn a sharp left from whatever I've done before because that keeps me awake. That's why I want to be an actor - I don't want to play endless variations on one character."

@mastohost thank you for your efforts!
Is there somewhere not on Mastodon you post a status page? I can see your posts from this alt account of mine, but not everyone has one of those.
> I am a 15-year-old girl. Let me show you the vile misogyny that confronts me on social media every day
The examples included here are horrible. Not just the sex-shaming, but that too.
I'm far from convinced that a social media ban is the answer, but the comment is still well worth reading - especially by men.
