A bit of a vulnerable post by me but we need your help to get us through what has been a more difficult period than 2020.

It’s been a very hard year - Andy Bell
Unlike a lot of places in tech, my company, Set Studio/Piccalilli has no outside funding. Bootstrapped is what the LinkedIn people say, I think. It’s been a hard year this year. A very hard year...

y'know, if tech companies weren't so fired up to call every single thing "AI" it would be a lot easier to distinguish "ML spam filter that is well-sandboxed and tuned on your emails" from "giant context and IP-eroding foundation model that makes people paranoid and unhappy"
since the "google is now training gemini on your email contents" thing keeps bumping around here: it's _not happening_. I say this not to defend google but because I know a lot of people that have broken their filtering and made their lives much more annoying from sheer misinformation.
The malwarebytes Google opting-your-emails-into-ai-training thing is not true. The post is based on one bad tweet.
I know anti-tech lamenting is a Bluesky core principle, but please use the same judgement you would for any other clickbait.

"ceasefire"
Since the ceasefire took effect one month ago, Israeli attacks have killed at least 242 Palestinians and injured 622.
How many times has Israel violated the Gaza ceasefire? Here are the numbers

Most importantly, the Chinese names are homophonous with "Zohran Kwame" when pronounced in both Cantonese (the spoken language used by first-wave Chinese immigrants from the South) and Mandarin (the spoken language used by new-wave Chinese immigrants from the North).
What an absolute masterstroke.

“AI didn’t fail. The person who approved this did”
Yes, AI can never be at fault. It’s always the human that made the AI make a mistake. Just prompt better and then spend more time in QA! Duh!

Pay attention to the ATProto community in addition to Bluesky the platform. @leaflet.pub, @tangled.org, @stream.place, @germnetwork.com are doing some amazing stuff with the protocol, and the real vision is starting to come to life.

Altman has been quite clear about his strategy.
From the 2008 crash he learned that if you bind enough of the economy to your business you can do whatever you like; government will decide the rules no longer apply.
What he's selling is unaccountabilty.

I honestly don’t get the value of this company. They hoover up energy and water. Their product constantly gets things wrong and, in extreme cases, coaches people into suicide.
And it’s all built on what seems to be malicious and vast intellectual property theft.
What does OpenAI offer the world?

when i wrote "destroy AI" i wasn't saying everything should be destroyed - i was saying the absence of destruction as an option creates a lopsided landscape to our imagination. people can just create and deploy systems, but we can't remove those systems? do you see how that is inescapably untenable?

no wonder why Flusser said that "A designer is a cunning plotter laying his traps" and Papanek said that "Today, industrial design has put murder on a mass-production basis"

If concentration camps designers during holocaust had a social media account, they would write shit like this. So many people think they're in the design industry, while in fact they're just visual porn eye candy addicts rotting in the Process Optimization industry.
