소위 오타쿠 장르조차도, 잘 모르는 상태에서 불호 표현 잔뜩 소문내 놨다가 막상 실물을 보고 치이게 되면 주변에 면구스러워서 덕질 하는 티도 못 내고 끙끙 앓아야 하는 처지가 되고 마는 것인데... 인생과 세상의 더 진지하고 중요한 문제에 있어서도 크게 다르지 않다고 생각한다.

Geopolitics I guess

I can see how people let the Nazis rise up under their noses.

Poisonous political parties are allowed to grow until they're too big to ban or stop. Huge disastrous wars happen overseas, or on the same continent, or just a couple of countries over. The people or organisations who are supposed to represent and protect us instead endanger us.

If we're lucky, we can go on news diets to protect our mental state. At some point people will ignore the stuff closer to home too.

@liaizonwakest ⁂ asks me to weigh in on this over here bsky.app/profile/wake.st/post/

My friend, you know not what you ask of me. If I wrote about this it would not be "ATproto conference taking Google money bad" it would be a 500 page piece called "There Is No Ethical Fundraising Under Capitalism" that people will blame me for being simultaneously overly sympathetic and damning

뭔가에 대해 상상과 추측으로 악마화하는 것을 경계하게 되는데, 첫째로는 그게 추측인데도 스스로 속아서 사실로 믿게 되기 때문이고, 둘째로는 훗날 내가 그 악마의 영역을 가로질러야 할 때 추태를 안 보이고 넘어가기 쉽지 않게 되기 때문이다. 보이는 증거와 드러난 사실만으로도 악마화할 수 있는 대상은 여기저기 많다. 하지만 아직 도래하지 않은 상상의 적을, "합리적 추론"을 통해서라도 머릿속에서 만들어내고 싶지는 않다.

This is in a PR where Shougo, another long-time contributor, communicates entirely in walls of unparseable AI slop text: github.com/vim/vim/pull/19413

What a pathetic state after decades of active, thoughtful work. "I asked the chatbot how to write this code", "Well, I asked my chatbot, and "he" doesn't like it". What a fucking embarrassment.

> Thank you for the detailed feedback! I've addressed all the issues:
> Thank you for the feedback! I agree that following the Vim 8+ naming convention makes sense.
> Thank you for the feedback on naming!
> Thanks for the suggestion! After thinking about this more, I believe repeat_set() / repeat_get() is the right choice:
> Thank you for the feedback. A brief clarification.

This isn't even rewriting his own thoughts in whatever bland style the chatbot can muster, it's just dumping people's comments into the bot and copy-pasting whatever it shits out.

This is The Future that boosters want: An endless bikeshedding session where agreeable chatbots trade excessively polite thank-yous and screenfuls of bullet-pointed lists. A bunch of children, getting paid to play around with tamagotchis.

What a bleak fucking future to dream of.

RE: mastodon.social/@DrALJONES/116

Nothing quite like starting an unholy illegal war by murdering 165 mostly young girls. As bad as Hitler, if not worse. Lest we forget. Atrocities committed like these are never forgotten or forgiven. The Epstein-Trump-Netanyahu regime and its Trumped up war constitute an Excess of Evil.

A six-spot burnet moth. The RHS and the Wildlife Trusts’ annual Wild About Gardens campaign is this year encouraging people to support moths in their gardens – including their ‘very hungry caterpillars’. The two organisations are highlighting the 2,500 species of moth found in the UK, which are vital pollinators, a source of food for a host of other wildlife including birds and bats, and an important indicator of the overall health of the environment

Noch einmal einen guten Morgen zusammen. Ich möchte heute mal wieder ein paar meiner persönlichen Gedanken los werden. Der Bundestag hat gestern das Ende des Bürgergeldes und die sogenannte Grundsicherung für Arbeitsuchende beschlossen. Das kleine bisschen Menschlichkeit, das die Ampel eingeführt hat, ist wieder weggewischt worden. Für die Betroffenen ist es die Rückkehr der Angst, der Erniedrigung und der gesellschaftlichen Ausgrenzung. Ich gehöre zu dieser Gruppe. (1)

So when a 09:01 delivery update says the thing is out for delivery "between 08:00 and 16:00" today (Friday), when will the delivery happen?

I wish people around me are as bothered as I am about the LLM hype.

A bajillion variables with non deterministic results and unreliable dev process producing a hallucination machine with maximum confidence. Are people just not seeing the mistakes it makes?

I’m not saying it worthless. It’s not worth that much. I can put aside the bs marketing language, but the real tangible things it does? I can honestly do without.

Perhaps that’s just cause I’m not working in tech anymore? Kinda blessed.

Just to say it: sinking a ship on its way home from a friendly international exercise that we were also taking part in is such cowardice. I can't stop thinking about it. It makes everyone less safe in so many obvious ways.
