Hard to tell what this is, but if it's what it sounds like, it thoroughly undermines Proton's market position as the antidote to Google, Microsoft, etc.

I THINK one of the things we're really seeing is a continent, maybe industry-wide shift away from full-time employees and towards gig/codev work. And that transition looks like layoffs across the board even from studios that just had big successes.

i hope whoever first decided to turn thumbsticks into clickable buttons experiences crippling levels of guilt and shame for the suffering they have wrought upon the world, along with every single designer who ever thought binding them to sprint was a good idea may no one show you compassion or pity

Everyday makes it clearer: Congress can't allow AI to continue operate without guardrails, oversight, or accountability. The reckless acceleration of AI has shown us that it can be a threat to working families and our democracy.

“The federal government went on tv and lied about Alex. They tried to slander his memory to cover up their crime. Not only was it wrong. It was shameful, unfair, and unacceptable. We want our sons killers brought to justice once and for all.”

Alex Pretti’s family holding their first news conference addressing the media this morning. It’s been 9 months since their son was disarmed before being shot to death by federal agents in Minneapolis. No one has been held responsible.

I'm currently experimenting with CSS and SVG filter effects. This one is based on the "Grainy Gradients" tutorial: css-tricks.com/grainy-gradi... The goal is to get a print-dithering like effect. I also added a few more color splots to make it even more organic. #generative #generativeart #css

Cheesecake Factory is also a rerun of the Cracker Barrel thing because, as always, the only way Americans are supposed to express our values is through brand loyalty and consumption. What we order off the dessert menu is who we are.

I really think everyone needs to pay attention to this coordinated campaign to delegitimize Muslim Americans - not just as citizens but as humans. These increasingly hysterical attacks are a prelude to Republicans bringing us to a very, very dark place after the election.

henry.codesIt doesn’t matter if it worksUltimately, whether LLMs "work" as a technology or not doesn't matter. The widespread adoption and deployment should be regarded firstly as a threat to the labor force.

My hottest AI take is that the executive class is petrified of labor and saw that whatever else LLMs are/aren't, they're fine labor-smashers + that a ton of ordinary people find the artificial hyper-complexity and scamminess of modern life and work so unbearable that they'll throw a god-box at it.

I regret I have but one heart to give this take 💜 My thing with LLMs is: all of their environmental, legal, and epistemological issues could disappear overnight, and the tech is still going to be used as a cudgel to smash worker power, and to disenfranchise folks already struggling to get ahead.

How do so many devs (like Linus Torvalds here) fall into strawman fallacies? LLMs, as tools, are not comparable to text editors and compilers. The external cost of my text editor isn't to prop up a spherical pyramid scheme that aims to commoditize/destroy labor before collapsing the global economy.

A compiler doesn't turn all of my work into public domain code. It doesn't strip me of my coding skill. It wasn't constructed by strip-mining millions of authored works without compensation or attribution. My compiler didn't spike costs for every other consumer electronic device on the planet.

There's also an obnoxious cover effect when someone prominent tumbles down the LLM well. I backed into Torvalds's comments from a redditor who cited him, supporting their pro-LLM argument with an appeal-to-authority fallacy.

In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.

I grew up in a lower income immigrant family and we ate at Red Lobster for "special days." But we also understood the White House should not look like the inside of Red Lobster. It's condescending to assuming working ppl are culturally illiterate bc their experience is shaped by their limited means.
