Please stop calling fictitious text generated by AI a hallucination, a confabulation, or any other human perceptual experience. A LLM can't perceive. Nor does it have agency.

This technology was not programmed to process KNOWLEDGE. It was programmed to process LANGUAGE.

The xz style attack is my biggest fear with generative coding. There are a bunch out there who wants to compromise code readability because manually maintaining code is no longer a priority to them. This is a very limited world view.

[Senior Oops Engineer @ReinH]

I too can't believe that these people you don't pay aren't doing the job you want them to do

[FFmpeg @FFmpeg]

The xz fiasco has shown how a dependence on unpaid volunteers can cause major problems. Trillion dollar corporations expect free and urgent support from volunteers.

@Microsoft @MicrosoftTeams posted on a bug tracker full of volunteers that their issue is "high priority"

[Sarah Drasner @sarah_edo]

It’s extremely difficult to do great work in fear. Fight or flight blocks logical and creative reasoning.

This is why org health is paramount, and critical to the bottom line. These things are not separate, they’re parts of the functioning whole.

@ESYudkowsky Every single comedic large-scale error by AI is evidence that when it is even more powerful and complex, the things it’ll do wrong will be utterly unpredictable and some of them will be very consequential.

[tim is different now🥰 @elchefe]

The most important thing to note here is that companies are already trying to say that they aren’t liable for anything their AI says or does on their behalf. This notion of nonexistent liability should create a legal barrier from companies using AI to interact with customers.

At the age of 37, I showed up to join an inclusive rugby team with no previous experience with the sport. I will play in my third game this weekend. Also I learned to crochet.

On this #GivingTuesday, consider supporting Louisiana's only inclusive rugby team as we raise funds to support the team's journey to the 2024 Bingham Cup. Link below.

Google has already started forcing Web Integrity into Chromium despite it being a 'proposal'

With WEI, users can be denied access for using non-approved browsers or hardware

The open Internet is officially dead as soon as this is commonly implemented

ADHD'ers: *does 40 hours of work in an 8-hours hyperfocus and urgency fueled bender*
Them: This is amazing! You have so much potential. Here's some more work.

The very same ADHD'ers: *struggles for 8 hours to get the executive function to do a simple task*
Them: God, you're lazy

[ADHD Jesse @adhdjesse]

The ADHD urge to overcommit because of time blindness.

In the moment, the future always feels full of infinite time for my latest obsession.

[Be A King @BerniceKing]

Kindness matters.
But kindness does not = justice.

Civility counts.
But calling for civility is not the humane response to injustice.
Justice is.

Love is essential.
But love is not a passive, weeping bystander.

Love puts in the work.

I’m a software engineer and my whole life doesn’t revolve around tech. I don’t spend all my free time building personal projects or learning the newest technologies.

I know myself and understand that I’d burnout and THAT. IS. OKAY.

We are all different. Do what’s best for you.
