sculd,

The “selling out” was done under Altman though, no?

sculd,

MS are the ones trying to reinstate Altman after all.

sculd,

I got you. Nowadays I would look at the UI of a game first before jumping in. If it looks too complicated I just pass. My job is already complicated enough, I don’t need to make myself more stressed when I just want to have fun.

sculd,

Well the idea to ask for him to return came from MS and not from the board themselves. At least that plan failed according to media report.

sculd,

LLM’s ability to replace jobs is honestly more terrifying than so called AGI.

At least with AGI, if they really can think like human, is that they may actually think about the implications of their actions…

sculd,

You do realize that a lot of people are already being displaced by AI right? These are not “unskilled” jobs either. For e.g. the illustrators who used to get jobs probably spent thousands of hours to get to that level

AI is already taking video game illustrators’ jobs in China

If you want to watch gay YouTubers,

Tomoe Shirayuki from Nijisanji,

Urame Harusame from Aogiri High School are both openly gay.

sculd,

Hey, keep up the recommendation! I don’t know all LGBTQ Vtubers so all suggestions are welcome!

Lol The finally realized that Altman brings more bad press because of his association with crypto and his weird views on things.

I doubt the successor can be a good person but hopefully a less creepy one.

Silicon Valley’s ideology is this: Libertarianism for me. Feudalism for thee.

@technology

sculd,

Libertarianism is one of the worst ideology I have ever seen.

It claims to be for freedom but whenever someone tries to implement it, it turns to be extremely oppressive.

sculd,

Hilarious! First time watching this. Thanks for sharing.

sculd,

Agreed that this is a legit concern.

The most worrying aspect of AI technology is not AI itself, but the people behind it, which is why regulating AI is so important for our society. And so far society is failing on that front.

sculd,

Oh I have no doubt that AI will replace a lot of jobs. What I am saying is instead of worrying about being replaced, understand that there will be jobs available and try moving to that direction.

The former makes us freeze in fear, the latter allows us to take action.

sculd,

That is a problem I already see in my field. Instead of asking my junior for a first draft, using ChatGPT could be faster and cheaper.

I can make adjustments because I already know the ins and outs, but I wonder what fresh graduate can do do get the experience.

Not to mention that some schools are saying they should encourage students to use AI. Please no, let them try doing things the hard way first before moving to the easy way.

sculd,

That is important, thank you!

sculd,

People being anonymous on the internet is probably one big factor.

sculd,

Anonymity provides protection to LGBTQ+ people. Yes, of course it does!

And it also provides protection for bigots who would probably face consequences if they try 4chan talk in real life.

sculd,

Seriously why is Bluesky not open for everyone? Do they have issues with scaling?

sculd,

Inscryption?

sculd,

I posted this in another technology fediverse but think it is relevant here also:

Ars Technica covered this much better

Basically, the company providing the service is shady and should not be trusted.

Physical because its better for reading. But limited space at my home mean I am most buying digital nowadays.

sculd,

A rare good news from YouTube

sculd,

It is never too late

sculd,

Took a look into their subreddit. Seems users are not happy.

Paid Revolutionary, feel a bit like a clown reddit.com/…/paid_revolutionary_feel_a_bit_like_a…

Anyone else beyond frustrated with tuta.com migration process? Or just me? reddit.com/…/anyone_else_beyond_frustrated_with_t…

Strange decision to not reserve users names from new domain for long term paying users. Maybe they think this will attract new users to pay for good user names?

sculd,

This is what happens when they automate everything. Its basically impossible to find someone in Google to talk to even if you spot an issue with their products.

sculd,

Completely agreed. If anything this kind of accusation pushes people to the right as they got defensive.

Every significant organisation, government, big company probably had done something terrible at some point. The world is not black and white. Internet activism is “not helpful”.

If people want to help the refugees, donate to organisations helping them. Or even better, volunteer to help them. Stop doing “purity tests” in the online world.

sculd,

The first few paragraphs of the blog post explained the problem pretty well - lack of access to professional mental health care.

The other parts of the article…especially bringing in techno optimism, feels unnecessary.

Do we see young people using tiktok to self diagonise other kinds of medical issues? At least not at the scale of mental health. And that is likely because they have much better access to professional help.

As society, we really really need to put more resources into mental health. It was an overlooked issue for centuries.

The outsized influence of ad money in society is getting worse day by day

Elon's "extremely hardcore" toxic work culture means people are forced to take Adderall without a prescription to meet their workload. Just ask SpaceX employees.

"Some SpaceX workers resorted to taking Adderall to keep up with the pace of work at the company's launch facility, and others found themselves falling asleep in the bathroom during long workweeks, a recent Reuters investigation found.

"Travis Carson, a former SpaceX worker at the company's facility in Brownsville, Texas, told Reuters some workers took Adderall — a stimulant designed to help people with ADHD improve their focus and concentration levels — without a prescription to keep up with the pace of work."

What a nightmare!

#X @technology

sculd,

Ah! So just like the financial industry which is abusing those like hell

sculd,

While I am not one of those people, some of the jobs in finance is basically high level mathematics and statistics.

sculd,

Congrats!!

sculd,

Completely agreed… I understand people are more relaxed after having a drink but I don’t really drink much anymore.

sculd,

More spam messages then, ok…

sculd,

A few possible answers:

  1. Signal is not big enough for spammers to spend resources on
  2. People who bothered to use Signal are likely to be more privacy minded and therefore less likely to fall for scam
sculd,

I am not sure if this is a good idea…

sculd,

TIL that Solomon can summon demon

sculd,

Sounds like a nightmare…

sculd,

I hope it works out for them because the current Kotaku is just depressing

sculd,

That was more than 10 years ago. Maybe the changes are indeed meaningful and maybe I was too young at that time. And I honestly don’t mind people making changes.

What made me quit was accidentally reading about wikipedia dramas and realized I was participating in a giant MMO in text. It was not a good feeling.

I do volunteer work to feel good. (Yes, really.) I still sometimes do volunteer work. Just not on wiki.

sculd,

This is a very convincing argument.

I guess this shows the difference between projects run by hired staff and a volunteer project who had to guard against bad actors.

Since I have only worked on one side it is easy to miss out on the reason those safeguards exist.

And btw I am publishing as primary source as well ! Maybe that is more suitable for me!

sculd,

This will not end well. YouTube is very difficult to replace while Facebook has plenty of competitors.
