[in a progress meeting at work]
MANAGER: so what are your career goals for this year?
ME: i'm glad you asked! [i pull out a collection of beatrix potter illustrations] i wish to be a mouse living in a tiny house under a tree and all my cups are made from acorns
@HeyItsSamD@mortal_kingss Outing myself here as one of the old official discord mods (fun fact: the other mods actively decided to exclude me from their walkout plans and then yelled at me for not going along with a plan that i didnt know existed). It was an absolute hot mess from so many directions
It uses a disgusting amount of power and water, it's based on ceaseless plagarism and the under-paid work of people labelling the training data, it's destroying thousands of jobs, literally what is the fucking point of it????
