in search of the truest terrors, are we?
:o no more true terrors
I don’t think we talk enough about how the foundational, most aspirational premise of the AI industry is “what if there was a human-level intelligence that didn’t have human rights.” Like. Exploitation is literally the whole point! Of COURSE they hold human life, intelligence and labour in contempt!
I can vouch for the quality of Complete CSS and Mindful Design, they are both top notch courses. I can only assume JavaScript for Everyone lives in that same vein. Go support the kind and intelligent people over at @piccalil.li!

makes me all the more grateful for bluesky (or perhaps atproto) having custom feeds, I rarely go beyond my following feed and it is SO nice to not feel the constant downward pull
"Anthropic has much more in common with the Department of War than we have differences." holyyy fuck they could not sound more comically evil if they tried
Hey all, I decided to write up some of my thoughts in more detail about why I don't vibe code, in case it's interesting to any of you

I wrote about some things I'm struggling with in the technology industry, preceded by an appreciation for folk music.
someone pay me a living wage to look at pretty type foundry websites all day
Anyways.
never, ever, ever, ever accept "how will you pay for it?" as an argument against social programs.
I keep seeing posts about ai models like "actually they're good at this thing now!"
but once you understand that ai tools are being built by fascists in service of attacks on humanity, whether or not they can generate useable code or do basic searches kind of stops being the main question
As I was writing all this, we did it. ONE MILLION WHISTLES (plus 9000 for good measure) shipped and into the hands of regular people who will distribute them in their communities to keep their neighbors safe. You could do that too. Just send a request to the email at the top of whistlegoblins.fun
I'll probably write about AI once I get my personal site up (Soon™). But yeah at this point, if I come across a youtube video with somebody promoting it I just click off
Their new homepage is really good! Go buy one of their courses!

Alysa Liu telling 60 Minutes “I love struggling, it makes me feel alive” is a legit revolutionary statement from a Bay Area native in a time when copious amounts of time and resources are being put toward convincing us to opt out of experiencing struggle, friction and self-actualization
what's that? 4000 words on a single CSS class? I've got you :)

SO many design youtubers recommend using AI in their videos. the videos that are meant to teach beginner to intermediate design students. many of which are entirely self-taught.
