"writing code to solve a problem" used to have "understanding the problem" as a prerequisite. but vibecoding allows solution-shaped objects to be produced without any of the hard-won understanding. beware of solution-shaped objects.

I really believe generative AI is a cognitohazard to an entire column of humanity. I don't know, there's a something it fucking does to people that displaces their own entirely-capable cognition and independence, further they seemingly cannot perceive the deficits of. This is not a moral argument.

So a funny thing people in the ActivityPub world love to hate on is AT Protocol's lexicons, claiming they make interoperability between different software harder.
Meanwhile a new TikTok like platform just joined the Fediverse. Guess what object type they use for federation! Is it going to be Video?

I genuinely cannot express how vital it is that you train yourself to recognize AI-generated images and videos for your own good because none of this is going away and many, many people are counting on you to fall for their shit

I'm genuinely starting to think that the people who say they want to see American's really fight back are really saying they want a specific kind of visible, stereotypical depiction of protest, and have zero zero tolerance for the kind of groundwork it takes to make change happen.

It’s funny how many words are written here about alternatives to Bluesky that all end up coming to the conclusion that people want something like ActivityPub but can’t get over the meme that Mastodon is difficult.

I realize that there is a lot to be upset about in the world. And it's hard to get to all of it.
But just wanted to mention that Mark Zuckerberg is also a piece of shit.
