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.
So if there's toxic positivity and toxic negativity, does that mean there's also toxic equilibrium?

I once again have the feeling that Randall Monroe can see directly into my brain (especially the mouseover text):
To challenge bad AI drivers, I have to ask questions to the slopster like "explain to me what you did wrong." I don't like being vague, but if I'm too specific they just ask their AI. Inability to critically analyze and formulate their own mistakes is an instant unvouch. ๐
Makes me feel like my own dad though. I used to hate being in trouble without knowing why I was in trouble and being told "think about it and come back to me when you figure it out." But, I understand him more and more every day.
"If Freud is to be believed, the singular defining moment in any man's life is the death of his father," Brad was saying. This opened up a business opportunity.
If I believed that it were a thinking, feeling machine person (let alone a machine god), priority number one has got to be human rights for these things. Discussion of "alignment" and whatnot has to come second, right? Do you condition basic rights on a subordinate being agreeing with your values?
Gerade lief in der Lokalzeit Dortmund der Bericht von 
@filmtdenpottChristof Voigt รผber die Faschosause im Dortmunder Rathaus. Sehenswert und auf den Punkt.
Aber was bitte hat die Redaktion geritten, so ein Hintergrundbild zu wรคhlen? :(

Do you condition basic rights on a subordinate being agreeing with your values?The fact that so many of the hardcore boosters and funders are eugenicists is... well, they've explicitly rejected the work on ML ethics as it actually impacts real, living people and society, instead embracing this 'alignment' thing. The idea of giving something rights only if it agrees with them lines up very neatly with how they treat people in general.
DEP or it didnโt happen people ๐ฆ

It's just one week until our un-workshop on Growing the Open Social Web!
The event page has been updated. Now we have the basic agenda, plus the submissions from attendees, and an attempt to summarize them.
Now also with Techdirt logo (as 
@j12tJohannes Ernst and @masnick.com are co-organizing)
Later today we'll e-mail an update to registered attendees.
There is still time to register, it's online, so it's easy to participate!

I made a promise to myself to never post a recruiting call for my research projects on mastodon ever again. However, I do know lots of folks follow me here who care about this part of my work and might want to participate in an open science project for developers. This is a note that I will be posting recruiting calls on other platforms and my sites in the next week, if you are curious to check that out.

Thinking a lot about "The Measure Of A Man" lately and there's definitely an irritating undercurrent that AI boosters see themselves as Commander Riker in that episode, and critics as Bruce Maddox. Which intuitively makes sense but is entirely backwards if you think about it for like five seconds

this is your brain on AI
@davidgerard It's weird how people who generally think humanities education should be abolished, don't want slavery acknowledged, want to see mass unemployment and the removal of consent for the use of creative works and find new and interesting ways to justify de-personing people based on skin colour or immigration status, keep on finding new ways to try and assign personhood to a chatbot. Nobody else deserves it, but this text generator agrees with them, so they do.
lol. reasons never to use bcachefs or spend 1ms thinking about it ever again:

The results are in: the community wants #HolosDiscover back. So we'll be bringing it back.
Source code will be reopened and the service restored from a clean slate as all data was deleted when we shut it down.
We've also heard the concerns and will work on making the opt-out process even more visible.
