"I would wager, in fact, that the most common left-liberal position is not that generative AI is just a stochastic parrot, but a product built by powerful profit-seeking firms that’s capable of serious harms. It’s not a semantic or philosophical critique the AI industry should be worried about, in other words, but a material one. AI is viewed, correctly, as a threat to jobs, education, mental wellbeing, the arts, child safety, the information ecosystem, and as possessing little upside for few others then corporate managers and AI companies."

Why does every project now need to be "for agents"?

Opening a port? Better make it for agents! github.com/vercel-labs/portless

If your agent can use the tools you already have which are designed for good "human" UX, it's probably not an agent worth using.

在路上碰到二二八•零的遊行隊伍,看著隊伍從開頭到最後走完,也看到車子上在唱名受難者的姓名,年齡,年輕的甚至只有二十歲左右。

後來跟朋友聊天聊到,整理了一下想法,覺得談論下來,大家可以對政治光譜,對於保守和自由的意識有所不同,但對於血腥鎮壓、肅清異己這種泯滅人性,其實是不可以噤聲,忽視和同意的,不然身為人的基本價值就僅剩無幾了。

An updated after giving it some more thought ...

I'm Matt, an artist and musician based in Toronto/Tkaronto. I work in and around computation, thinking about its histories, politics, culture, and computation-as-material. My main efforts right now are around computational poetics, expanded sculpture, and net art. I believe computers could be something different in the world, and try to embody that in my work and life.

I make music mainly as New Tendencies, but sometimes under other names and used to play in a number of punk/post-punk bands in addition to my more experimental/electronic/computer music and sound art. I also have a very very small label/press called <blink>.

I live with my partner of over 20 years and a 10 year old Bengal cat named Iggy (because she's a real wild child).

My online life goes back to around 1992 when I started calling BBS's, and running one... then soon after getting an internet connection and basically living on IRC where I got into the demo/tracker scene and started making computer music.

Also love sci-fi, video games, Hackers (1995), bad reality tv, cocktails...

Here are some links.

One of the reasons for the divide in how using AI as a major software dev path is framed is the difference in framing for what software dev is in the first place.

For people who see it as a generator of monetized products (an IP factory), any tech that could maybe lower COGS is exciting. For such folks, software is “good” when it costs less to produce. Quality is only important if it lowers costs or increases revenue. 🧵(1…

“존경하는 재판장님, 15년 전 헤어진 제 딸은 이제 성인이 됐습니다. 어머니의 손길이 가장 필요한 나이에 저는 딸의 곁에 있어 주지 못했습니다. 이 잔인한 현실이 과연 헌법이 수호하고자 하는 가치입니까?” 27일 오후 대구지법 형사10단독 노종찬 판사 심리가 열리는 별관 2호 법정에서 ‘평양 시민’ 김련희(57)씨가 울먹였습니다.

🚄✈️ Why is it still so hard to choose a train over a plane?

On many long-distance routes in Europe, choosing the train can feel like a borderline heroic decision. It’s often more expensive, takes longer, and can be less reliable when connections are tight.

This week we spoke to cross-border rail advocate @jonJon Worth about what Europe would need to change to make rail the obvious choice, not a moral gesture.

Here’s his recipe. THREAD:

개정 시한 D-1 '탄소중립기본법'...입법 지연 왜?:
헌법재판소가 탄소중립기본법 장기 온실가스 감축경로를 법률로 정하라고 주문한 지 1년 반이 지났지만, 관련 개정안은 아직 국회를 통과하지 못했다. 내일(28일)은 헌재가 부여한 입법 시한이다. 시한을 넘기면서 앞으로의 관건은 공론화 설계 과정이다.헌법재판소는 2024년 8월 29일 '기후위기 대응을 위한 탄소중립·녹색성장 기본법' 제8조 제1항에 대해 헌법불합치 결정을 내렸다. 해당 조항이 2030년까지의 국가 온실가스 감축목표는 규정하고 있으나, 2031년부터 2049년까지의 구체적 감축경로를 법률로 명시하지 않은 점이 헌법에 합치
