But nothing else for it than to sally forth to destinations somewhat known

Honestly otherwise legitimately excited. This is the first, no bullshit technical development role I've ever had and if I do well it's going to open up tons of possibilities, so going to give it my all!

One of my (many) flaws is that I have the extrovert dial of my personality jammed in the 11 position and I struggle to dial it down when needed, and I know that can make me come across way too unfiltered

So bit nervous in that regard

First day of new job and surprisingly I have the opposite reaction to I felt starting the previous one

As opposed to feeling like I had no idea what I was doing, here my actual fear is what the people I'll be working with are like and the chance I come off too strong and rub them the wrong way

If you've ever laughed at something funny and then felt that creeping sense of macabre dread as what you were laughing at stops being amusing and becomes downright terrifying without you even realising, then you know how I felt watching the events in this unfold

ChatGPT made me delusional
YouTube video by Eddy Burback ChatGPT made me delusional

So I watched this video today and I've gone from despising GenAI for its environmental impact / systemic theft / erosion of job security to thinking it flat out needs to be *banned*

It is the new leaded petrol and it needs to be fired into the fucking sun

The chopper meme, with the characters replaced with Garak and Bashir from Deep Space Nine. 

Panel 1: Garak as the chopper dad, saying "WELL, THAT'S A LITTLE GRAPHIC FOR CHILDREN, WOULDN'T YOU SAY?". 

Panel 2: Bashir as chopper son, saying "BUT THE POINT IS, IF YOU LIE ALL THE TIME, NOBODY'S GOING TO BELIEVE YOU, EVEN WHEN YOU'RE TELLING THE TRUTH". 

Panel 3: Garak still seated as chopper dad, saying "ARE YOU SURE THAT'S THE POINT, DOCTOR?". 

Panel 4: Wide shot of both characters. Chopper dad Garak is standing, looking surprised in the left background. Chopper son Bashir is swinging a chair in anger, saying "OF COURSE. WHAT ELSE COULD IT BE?" 

Panel 5: chopper dad Garak standing and pointing, saying "THAT YOU SHOULD NEVER TELL THE SAME LIE TWICE"

Final day in the office at my current job. Mixed, bittersweet feelings a plenty.

But, as the sage philosopher Rolf once said in the existentialist work Ed, Edd and Eddy

"Life has many doors Ed boy"

(my name is not Ed but you get the jist)

Okay so my immediate reaction to this is: why not give the actual artist the text prompt you supplied to the GenAI model, jfc

Waking up this morning to see the news coming out of New York and other places in the US

Like, even as a Brit

It's comforting to see that better things are possible and we don't have to settle for the political equivalent of either A) sawdust and lint or B) radioactive sludge

Good shit

A digital poster in the style of a World War II propaganda piece. Isolaed on a yellow background, a normal, squarish, 20-something guy with glasses is sitting working on a laptop. A ghostly figure of Hitler has his arm around the guy and is grinning and shaking a fist triumphantly looking at the laptop screen. On the lid of the laptop where an apple might otherwise be is an openAI logo, bright green, and dripping green ooze down the lid. Text on the poster, in combinations of sans-serif type and brush script reads: 
Using Generative AI?
Youโ€™re prompting with Hitler!
GenAI is a Fascist Project!
Try using your brain instead
Donโ€™t surrender your creativity to the tech billionaireโ€™s control
