I’m not convinced “(Generative) AI is here to stay”.
It’s massively expensive to train models, and companies are burning billions and billions of VC dollars on it with no clear path to profitability.
The idea that we should all get familiar with LLMs because they’re “here to stay” rings hollow

gen AI is an attempt to industrialize knowledge work. Luddites keep coming up in this discussion, because it's incredibly relevant.

The reality is that your judgment has to be rooted in your values. That's what's going to determine what you reward and what you punish. And if you're not clear on your values, then they will emerge clearly through your actual actions. In short, Link is banned, Jesse Singal is not. So now we know.

And this is how we get Trump. Do. Not. Split. Even when you're furious. Especially when we're furious. Understand the gravity of the moment. We're not supporting him. We're supporting the fight against masked agents pulling people off of the street and children starving to death.
I'll get back to "party unity" as soon as the Senate Minority Leader tells us if he voted for the Democratic party nominee for mayor of his city.
I'm tired of party unity only ever running one way.

Some Ozy once told me
His works were gonna roll me
And leave me with a sense of despair
He was standing kinda dumb
Two vast legs without a trunk
Half a shattered visage left from his forehead
His works were gonna roll me
And leave me with a sense of despair
He was standing kinda dumb
Two vast legs without a trunk
Half a shattered visage left from his forehead
Oz-y-man,
He’s just some legs out on the lifeless sand
There’s a half sunken visage with a sneer
And on the pedestal these words appear,
“Look and despair”

i'd rather see than be 'em

Seeing all the content focused on centering all the people who need help who aren’t “fat, ghetto asses” and we can already see how the deserving/undeserving rhetorical lines are going to fall.

The problem is devs want to treat data as a property rights issue when personal data are actually observations of behavior to be used as evidence—primarily for social surveillance and control. It is rendering people in your community into relationships with power outside of their control or consent.
I do not have small enough words to communicate to ML researchers that if you take people's data, EVEN IF IT IS PUBLICALLY AVAILABLE, and then you upload it to huggingface without communicating with them or even talking to them about what it's for, people will be mad at you.

a reminder that we've been trying to regulate capitalism for 50 years and all we got for it was climate change, biosphere collapse, and billionairism. smashing capitalism does not mean eliminating markets, which have always existed. it means organizing society around care rather than profit

THIS. You don't have to turn every gathering into a meme-fest but at some point it became gauche to talk about stuff that matters.
When you prize social passivity above all else, and make it rude to point out bigotry, and penalize people for having strong convictions, you end up ... here.

I come back a lot to the idea that "no politics at the dinner table" was harmful and let this kind of shitty ideology fester undiscussed

Like, not everyone will come out that first time, but a Lot will. And then you do another one. You get people used to the idea of being loud and visible (already happening), and then to being peacefully disruptive. You'd give them a permission and buy-in structure.

It's funny, the no kings protests could be the best chace to normalize the idea of nationwide strikes in the US, if the organizers are serious. They do maybe 2 more on weekends to really lock them into people's practice, then say, "hey, let's show them we really mean business & do it on a Wednesday"

Really think the biggest win today aside from just numbers is negatively polarizing the regime of 12-year-olds into fully adopting #YESKINGS as their official stance.
