Okay, for the folks who asked: here's the majority AI view, writing up the reasonable, thoughtful view on AI that the vast majority of people in tech hold, that gets overshadowed by the bluster and hype of the tycoons trying to shill their nonsense. anildash.com/2025/10/17/t... Please share!

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.
When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

Can't take credit for the awesome Amphifa logo, but the one I designed is free to use!
Here's a png with no background. You can buy sticker paper everywhere and use a normal printer to print them out!

Everyone loves Penguins, right?
What about visualizing them using ~ schematic Chernoff faces? Here's a 1st proof-of-concept example Claude helped me with.

1/2 A reminder to anyone who was RIFed.
💯 you do NOT deserve this.
Quick tips if you do get a RIF notice:
❌ Do not send a read receipt
❌ Do not respond right away - the union will probably provide language for response
✅ Forward notice to your personal email
