This is how young coders always were, but now with AI. We start off making the process of coding our identity. We think the only way to see if something will work is to code as quickly as possible.

When we become more experienced, we can tell which projects will be a waste of time before we code.

He's telling us he's those people who put grocery items in their grocery cart without looking at the prices.

are you under the idiotic impression that milk and eggs are only sold as milk and eggs in stores and are not used in foodstuffs offered across the average supermarket? have you ever cooked or like read an ingredient list? stop being a smug bitch again. bsky.app/profile/whst...

It's also worth remembering that this narrative is Nazi in a way that actually pre-dates the Holocaust.

Hitler rose to power telling a story of a Germany shackled by guilt and shame (and of course the material concessions fallout) from WWI

What’s so weird about men in power is how when they face scandal and should step down the world acts like no one else can do their jobs. Bottstein, Wasserman, these aren’t irreplaceable men! Stop with this delusion.

Bragging about the respectable path that delivered us to this moment.

"Nnedi Okorafor credits Le Guin with proving fantasy heroes didn't have to be white."

WRONG.

AI is just out here flat out lying about me. I never said this. No disrespect the Great LeGuin but no one ever needed to "prove" such a thing. Mschew. Anyone who knows me knows I don't speak like that.

There is a Kinda Guy that is absolutely gaga for Gruff-Aesthetic White Guy Who Says Kinda Lefty Things. Their love for this is *not* strategic or instrumental to some end, such a person is an object of intrinsic attraction to them, and a strong one at that. They will rationalise anything for this.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

That’s not that surprising. Most executives will believe good news without question. They only push back on bad news which they assume can’t possibly be right

Yeah, slavery is substantially watered down in schools bc they don't like teaching kids about an entire society based on mass rape.

chatGPT finally shut down the sycophantic and hyper-agreeable version 4o and people are losing their shit over it trying to get them to reverse it

it's funny how many people this is a sacred cow for

Courts have ruled 4,400 times that ICE jailed people illegally. It hasn’t stopped. The decisions amount to a huge legal rebuke, but the administration has continued jailing people indefinitely.

Signed away my privacy forever as a 14 year old on Instagram in 2012 yet obsessively shred my physical mail as if it’s 1980 and I’m being monitored by Soviet spies

I'm teaching a grad level proposal writing class. Had planned to go in depth about how funding agencies are organized, how panels work, etc. Now it feels like I'll be saying a lot of "This is how it was, I'm not sure how it'll work going forward."

Steven Pinker ® @sapinker • Follow I have no relationship with Epstein & have taken no funding from him. Our circles have occasionally overlapped: In 02, my lit agent invited me to join a group of east-coast TED speakers Epstein flew to CA. In 14, Krauss seated me next to him at a lunch, & someone snapped a photo. 11:09 PM • Jul 10, 2019 from Provincetown, N C

Pinker, Steven <Pinker, Steven> to Lesley Groff Mar 28, 2012 5:47 PM star_border Dear Unfortunately I'm out of town that day, but if Jeffrey is around on Monday the 16th, I'll be back and would be delighted to meet with him. Best, Steve

Okay then

1970s paperback edition of ayn rand’s the fountainhead with a photograph of an attractive woman leaning back seductively on a drafting board

can you imagine how disappointed you’d be if you knew nothing about this book and only picked it up for this particular cover

No. Most coders have very limited experience in the underestimated diversity of software development work.

Exactly this, they're building a monument to their own greatness, not engineering a system fit for use.

You turn up with your unwashed ass and your 50 pull requests generated by your shitty slop code generating machine you bought off the internet and you want some unpaid volunteer on the internet to wipe your ass and pick through the garbage code you've generated and be grateful to you contributed.

Watching pro AI people in Reddit discussions about slop PRs (code edit submissions to open source public software projects) complaining "What's the problem just review the PRs, if they're good merge them" really underlines a lot of the problematic way that AI boosters devalue respect for labour.

The bourgeois has vaginas and the proletariat has penises is the subtext to understanding this 'thinking'

This is wrong twice over, in that a) having a lot of followers *on Bluesky* is not 'fame' and b) actually being famous is not something that is 'easy to walk away from', because people still have this thing called 'memory'.

"The day of accountability will come": Rep. Delia Ramirez on abolishing and prosecuting DHS The Handbasket spoke with the congresswoman who called out ICE long before it was popular.

🔥 “To me, when we're talking about what justice looks like, it's ultimately getting to a place where every single fascist agent and the leaders that directed them to do what they did are held accountable to the highest degree of the law. And that means prosecution.”

Homeland Security Wants Social Media Sites to Expose Anti-ICE Accounts

New story up on the Homeland Security Department’s new tactic: flood social media companies with subpoenas to unmask anonymous accounts that criticize ICE or monitor the movements of ICE agents.

Crazy that Costco’s we value our customers message is so much more effective than everyone else telling us to fuck off

The tragic reality is that many self-styled Western “anti-imperialists” have used Palestine as political cover for commitments that consistently center despots over victims. (2)
