free open source software needs fewer engineers and more designers and product people

it’s more useful to view this kind of behaviour as a sexual kink than an addiction

boring leftists r sighing at this but as usual they are just looking at what the LLM is doing or what it is for or whether it does it well. it’s like asking if a feast is “efficient” or an orgy is “healthy”. the excessive nature of it is the point

oh its funny how completely Fucking Broken mastodon is

It is a shame that "democratization" in software has come to mean broader access to products instead of participation in democratic processes — there is talk of LLMs democratizing software production, but I have yet to see social, collective and democratic processes govern the design of software.

optimist feels like a slur sometimes

maybe being one of the little bricks in the xkcd tower meme is ok

train to leeds

fosdem!?

there are loads of AI enjoyers on here! you’re definitely welcome

im not using lists cos im tryna immerse myself in it. that works sometimes. is this self harm

i think my problem is that it feels important and im trying to figure what is important about it but 90% of the time i just think “are you ok nerd?”

instagram is so saturated with ads that it just isnt fun anymore

i followed loads of AI people but its kind of boring

yeah my computer already has an api

dreaming of an llm agent but it only knows about syscalls

it’s never been a better time to really try to understand how things work

getting rid of mcdonalds sounds great we will just have imitation domestic mcdonalds it Doesn’t Matter, maybe each country can have its own different ones

if you even care!!!!!

in yet more vulgar terms: it shows you how things are going

to give a very simple example. imagine i illustrate a hurricane. then you can imagine the howling sound it makes, things being picked up and thrown around, the fear of inhabitants as they wonder if the roof will be grabbed from above their heads, the darkness and complete absence of all other sound

its very strange how through a single still image like a painting or a photograph we can imagine (which is to say, experience without the use of our exterior senses) a situation that absolutely does have a temporal quality

weeks where decades happen? i’m saying that there are hours where literally nothing happens. that can be beautiful tho. maybe you want to prolong the good moments

in a kind of freeze frame world where the heating is broken and the cardboard recycling is not being taken away. its like an escape room where you have to figure out how to make things start again

or rather, they responded and said that someone is coming, but they won't say when

heating in our apartment building has been broken for three days... many conscientious and rightfully enraged fellow residents have called the landlord with no response... that's cool

he achieved takeoff by rewiring his incentive structure

bluesky is making me want to actually write alt text. yall are so conscientious
