“Your AI code generators are your new net-negative developers”

https://blog.thirstybear.co.uk/2024/04/your-ai-code-generators-are-your-new.html

I'm really glad I'm freelance these days. The last boss I had is now well into "AI" so it's likely I would quickly argue myself out of a job if I were still working for him.

Maybe Google shouldn't strip non-ascii characters when training AI

I posted this on Tumblr. I didn't think it would go far. But ... people have clipped it from Tumblr, shared in on Facebook, Reddit, Instagram, it's had at least ONE AI read on Tiktok, and a few on Youtube ... so ... just so you know who posted it ... Hi. My pharmacist stole my deadname.

So, do I know anyone who makes gameboy cartridges from ROMs?

I'd love to get ~10 copies of this game made as GBC cartridges for us to use as prizes/gifts/giveaways.

i think a lot of my annoyance with a lot of USian leftists, especially non anarchist ones, is that they get so bogged down into campism or the idea that states that self identify as leftist are actually leftist or cannot do any wrong, that they end up westsplaining to me how china doesn't openly persecute uyghur and kazakh people in xinjiang, or that ussr wasn't a colonialist power.

there's just this prevalent demonization of any leftist politics that is so pervasive in western media and discussions that people end up overcompensating for it by trying to shut down any valid cricitism as me being a secret liberal capitalist fbi agent fifth column or something lmao

they could have studied us and consulted us, respected our culture, and maybe tried to develop a communist industrial framework that works within that society. but instead they declared it backwards and inefficient, and didn't provide us with any means for transitioning into sedentary industry, expecting us to grow grains and feed cattle in steppes and deserts with nothing but power of believing in comrade stalin, i guess. you can look up how that ended.

like, if you know anything about kazakh history, you'd know that when soviet russians came here, they set their foot in lands of people that lived fundamentally differently from the way they did. they were sedentary, we were nomads. our agriculture depended on that lifestyle. we lived like that for centuries before they came.

I wonder how many hits Disney.com got back in the day when they were the de facto standard for what the "are you 18+?" no button linked to.

I'm having to drive 45 minutes and pay 260$ to talk to my psychiatrist to 5 minutes.
I don't even need to talk to him! All I'm gonna say is "yep, I still have ADHD: please continue prescribing my meds".

I don't think we need this meeting, he doesn't think we need this meeting, but the DEA does, to try and crack down on "illegitimate" ADHD med prescriptions.

Bah.

If you saw me like this and you could do anything, what would you do?

springer's assets are 2/3 the ownership of publicly funded information that should have no owner, and 1/3 the 'goodwill' valuation of its oligopoly share of volunteer labor as operationalized by the value of its brands.

it's a company made of nothing but the theft of the commons

they put kids in jail for downloading metalica in the 90s but the incels who scraped the internet to make a regurgitation machine are held up as our new gods because laws are just threats made by the dominant socioeconomic-ethnic group in a given nation

So the Polish police took a black guy off the train in Rzepin in handcuffs.

Whether there were any white passengers doing anything untoward we can’t know - as they didn’t get checked.
