  • Ouch, one of the many reasons I use Linux is to not have to debloat my OS when I install it because it shipped with features that are against my interest/enjoyment.

  • How being a good person never pays off basically. We evolved as individuals, and only individualism pays off in the way our species organized itself. Yet I evolved differently somehow so fuck me?

  • Anyone else use RSS?

  • Follow releases on github? just add /releases.atom to the project's URL.

    Jump

  • Yup! Never stopped. I happily moved all my feeds from newsblur to a self-hosted aggregator a few months ago (using Tiny Tiny RSS atm after a couple months on Tuvix). I follow tech news, comics, general news, FOSS project releases (also yaaarh releases).

  • Can't help but think of the bandage he was wearing on his ear lately, as if to remind us he survived an assassination attempt. Then boom.

  • Do I belong in tech anymore? - On quitting, the spread of AI, and the loss of an ideal.

    Jump

  • Same. Been looking close to 9 months after being laid off but it's only to pay the bills, I know I won't enjoy what I find, if anything. That ship sailed 10 years ago.

  • I very much have my eye on that. Pretty sure that's going to be my next self-host just because I love everything about it, not so much because I'll need it. Pleeeease federate. I know it's a whole lot of work, but it would be a significant net benefit to all developers worldwide who code because they like it.

  • Thousands of CEOs admit AI had no impact on employment or productivity

  • Weren’t there layoffs due to AI implementation, expected or actual?

  • So, uh... is it me, or does it all very much make sense? I'm really impressed. But I'm ignorant of these problems and would really love to hear an actual expert on the topic. I particularly like that it went for decentralization, precisely so it can have checks. After we gave it full power. The AI president appears selfless, while the current meatbag president is entirely selfish.

    The scenario implies that centralized AI control might solve what human institutions failed to. That framing is the most dangerous part of the premise.

    The correct answer is that I use whatever temporary authority this hypothetical grants me to make myself less necessary as fast as possible — restoring legitimate human governance with better structural safeguards than existed before, while solving the immediate crises through diplomacy and fiscal discipline rather than force or technocratic override.

    An AI that grabs power to do good is still an AI that grabbed power. The precedent matters more than the outcome in any single crisis.

    ... or will it completely change course once implemented? Dum Dum Dum - new on Netflix
