Kubecon NA isn't even here yet and the Kubecon EU CFP is open? It closes BEFORE KCNA? Am I hallucinating my last several kubecons or is that incredibly early

It absolutely makes sense that men are using AI more and seeing more job benefits, because confidently spouting nonsense in the shape of information (what LLMs are programmed to do) has always been much more of a pathway for career advancement for men than for others.

Lolollll this is so good.

also there are people that would that the original post as truth and say shit like that is true

Get you a cool S

This is not "normal company behaviour" and there is absolutely no company in history - not Uber, not Amazon web services, no enterprise/consumer product - that even resembles the burn behind generative ai. Amazon burned more than the entire cost of founding AWS ($60bn-ish) in 2024 capex ($80bn ish)

Great read from @parismarx.com

I’ve begun using Proton for my email, I was already using their VPN service, I’ll be looking at what else I can switch!

Even as a US citizen I’ve been looking to stop using US tech so much, more so considering the current state of this dumpster fire of a government

we are massively overdue for a revival of this glorious aesthetic era

We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers.

The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.

The US has imposed sanctions on UN Human Rights Council Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese for using her position to oppose the most thoroughly documented genocide in history.

The Percentage of Tasks AI Agents Are Currently Failing At May Spell Trouble for the Industry The best AI Agents are currently failing about 70 percent of the tasks assigned to them, as investments are expected to drop off a cliff.

I don’t know what @thestorygraph.com did during their planning maintenance yesterday but H O L Y S H I T the app is so much faster!

Y’all just keep kicking ass!

I'm getting real tired of not being able to trust that a video game doesn't have AI crap in it:

Valid points but PLEASE @aftermath.site use alt text, ESPECIALLY on image walls of text like this

Stop using AI for placeholder assets.
Use sketches. Use lorem ipsum. Use bright pink materials. Use programmer art for fucks sake, literally anything else.
If your studio is using AI even for temp, even if they think they've covered their tracks, SPEAK UP because people WILL FIND IT

Stop forcing AI into fucking everything. Noboday asked for it. Everyone hates it.

Again for those at the back.

There are lots of people (including me) that are finding it very hard to get work. This is in part to the places that used to pay artists now wanking off to AI.

It aint cool or funny.
It's damaging to the planet & to the welfare of real people.

This sentence, typed in her dissent, should scare the living fuck out of everyone in this country.

Jeff Bezos single handedly lowered the average quality of goods in basically every sector, drove hundreds, maybe thousands of companies out of business, destroyed one of the US's flagship newspapers and is building a surveillance state.

Billionaires. Should. Not. Exist.

Hakeem Jeffries continues to be everything wrong with Democrats in a single person.

They are completely fucking this up and trying to crush any sort of grassroots enthusiasm that comes near their shitty party.

Useful technology isn't something people are forced to use. This was one of the really interesting things I heard maybe a year ago from so many pundits. Things like "I'm trying to think of ways to use this so I become good at it." That's not how productivity tools are supposed to work.

I’m so fucking tired of hearing about tax cuts man. Tax me at 50% if it means I get free healthcare, free public transportation with high speed rail, free universal pre k and school lunches, and free college tuition. I want to live in an actual society. Not hoard money like a selfish cunt.

this technology that i cant even get my own employees to use without literally threatening them is definitely going to be profitable one day

this from @meredithmeredith.bsky.social is really smart. You should watch it.

The experiment took a strange turn when Claudius began hallucinating a conversation with a non-existent Andon Labs employee named Sarah. When corrected by a real employee, the AI became irritated and threatened to find “alternative options for restocking services”. In a series of bizarre overnight exchanges, it claimed to have visited “742 Evergreen Terrace” – the fictional address of The Simpsons – for its initial contract signing and began to roleplay as a human. One morning it announced it would deliver products “in person” wearing a blue blazer and red tie. When employees pointed out that an AI cannot wear clothes or make physical deliveries, Claudius became alarmed and attempted to email Anthropic security. Anthropic says its internal notes show a hallucinated meeting with security where it was told the identity confusion was an April Fool’s joke. After this, the AI returned to normal business operations. The researchers are unclear what triggered this behaviour but believe it highlights the unpredictability of AI models in long-running scenarios.

It's so cool we're boiling lakes, polluting neighbourhoods, stealing from millions of people and burning billions of dollars to do whatever the hell this is?
