I think people laugh at Elon Musk more than they laugh at Jerry Seinfeld nowadays…

It’s that time of year where you bust your ass working outside on the weekends around the yard, and then you can’t wait to get back to work Monday because it’s less strenuous…

I saw the film “Wildcat” today, which is about Flannery O’Connor, and it was really good!

Another boring story but I do mention radicalization so that's interesting...

Hardware companies love AI because it means more sales of "faster and more powerful" hardware, which means more money for them.

Software companies love AI because it means you'll buy the new version, or re-up your subscription...

@kancept Good to hear. I guess I am more concerned about companies like Adobe and Microsoft baking it into every single product they have, and not giving users the option to disable it.

@rasterweb yes, that I agree with. My AI is local and I chose to install it. Not forced in as part of a product with telemetry to train on my data. That’s why I razed my Reddit profile years ago and never contributed to StackOverflow. I don’t need AI trained on my garbage. Now, I don’t disagree with AI training as a whole, it’s the charging for access to what is contributed as open in the first place. It’s beyond providing a public service like a library.

You know what? It really is a futuristic modern world where things aren’t what they seem…

If you're a web nerd who has worked in food service maybe this will be amusing?

You take the good, you take the bad, you take them both and there you have the Internet, the Internet!

I've always used dashes like this:

Thing - Other Thing

But some people use them like this:

Thing- Other Thing

And I have no idea why... The space on both sides of the ' - ' makes sense to me, but why do people jam it onto the end of the word?

@c20d It should be caught during proofing then, before publishing, right?

@rasterweb the words- as in the words themselves- told me the letter S is a little kinky and likes it there

Me: I'm sorry.

Wife: You're just sorry you got caught!

Me: Yes, and...?

Someone told me that Chat-GPT saved them hours of work...

My response: If Chat-GPT is saving you hours, are you now able to work less hours and instead spend that time doing other things? That should be the primary goal of AI... Give humans more time to do as they please, not just cram even more work into the same amount of hours.

@rasterweb at the very least when you automate something 50% of the time should go back to the employee.

@sil@mastodon.social avatar

@rasterweb well said. Ask them: what did you do with these hours that AI saved you? If the answer is “more work”, then it didn’t save you hours at all; it saved your employer hours instead.

New sketch! It's the classic Apple ]+, the first computer my family ever had... 40+ years ago I got my start with programming and computer graphics on one of these.

When I look at a dog it's like "Hello! Hello! Please love me! Please pay attention to me!"

And when I look at a cat it's like "What the fuck are you looking at!? Feed me."

I prefer cats.

@rasterweb my cat Zara is very affectionate but even she has her limits. I think of her more like a roommate I am caring for while she experiences psychedelics for the first time. All the time.

"Whoa, come see this!" She will call out. If I go to her, it will be an open window and some birds outside.

"Dude, DUDE, DUUDE!" She will yell as I sleep. Rolling over to gather myself she looks at me excitedly to order pizza.
