they explicitly said this the day before launching the list! it was infuriating seeing them go "it's just a readme, why are you so scared" and that they're just trying to inform people, when they flat-out said "we need to exert influence by shunning people" a day prior

this is just the return of Ethical Source, and @im.giovanh.com already refuted this point-for-point years ago (blog.giovanh.com/blog/2021/10...)

this is a...very interestingly-timed post.
it's not hard to read the subtext here; it really seems like this list is a way to gather, and begin to flex, that shunning power. all their previous claims about this being "not harassment" should be taken with that context

no no no! we don't want people to "harass" anyone. we just want people to go respectfully over to your issue tracker, open a bunch of respectful issues politely asking you to stop using llms, and shame you for doing so in spite of their "harms"! but we're not *harassing* you, nooooo

throw in the constant A/B testing (a user asks their friend for help, and they send back a puzzling screenshot of a completely different UI) & periodic redesigns from your neurotic full-time in-house design team, and you're actively discouraging your userbase from learning how your software works

at every stage, you can do something like a user study and witness them going "the software has its own whims, it's too hard to understand, i give up" which only further feeds into your conceptions about your userbase's intellect. you dumb the software down further, making it even worse

it becomes this self-fulfilling prophecy/vicious circle: users have trouble understanding your software, so you add more automagic features to try and make it "easier", but that only makes it harder to understand, so you add even more magic and so on

thank you, it's insane how software companies have completely given up on the idea of building a mental model for their software

to add insult to injury, graphics drivers love to do "fast math" optimizations when compiling your shaders, happily optimizing out your workarounds by using algebraic transformations that don't actually apply to floats

one very fun thing i discovered in graphics programming is that opengl es only requires support for 16-bit floats. not only that, but built-in functions for e.g. normalizing a vector will square their operands at 16-bit precision, which overflows hilariously easily

undeterred by ieee-754, hardware folks apparently love inventing new ways to make floating-point operations cursed and nondeterminstic

i don't think OP specifically believes this, so this is more a general sentiment, but wow i'm tired of the anti-technology contingent of the left, and the pipeline into full-on degrowth pastoralism. whatever happened to fully-automated luxury gay space communism

the saddest part is seeing people suffer at the hand of "community leaders" and influential people, only to deliberately choose not to learn any overarching lessons and discourage others from doing so because they still believe in The Movement and don't want to do anything that could weaken it

once i'd suffered abuse at the hands of manipulative clout goblins in left-wing spaces who rose to prominence by saying all the right things, i quickly began to appreciate impersonal forms of governance and was deradicalized a fair bit
