this goes right along with my theory that the AI obsession in *users* is often bc…
1. they were never educated (esp "ipad generation") & don't know how computers work
2. our tools and services are all SO AWFUL NOW, degraded at best, actively user-hostile at worst

Tell me "DiVine" is not just so they can make the tag line "Do it for d'Vine". Please.
Also everyone should listen to @benedicttown.bsky.social's great podcast doc "Vine: 6 Seconds That Changed the World" and then decide if Jack Dorsey is a safe pair of hands. Among all the other reasons he isn't.

The SNP's wrecking amendment to this motion has sadly passed, confirming that the Scottish Government no longer opposes the Rosebank oil field application. A huge step backwards and a sad day for Scotland's reputation on climate action.
Under Nicola Sturgeon & Humza Yousaf the Scottish Government rightly opposed the proposed Rosebank oil field.
John Swinney has sadly dropped that opposition and tried to avoid taking a position at all.
That's not good enough, so tomorrow the @scottishgreens.org will force a vote.

I hope we all find out the names of people in Rockstar's management & HR who made the call.
And I do hope they'll be found liable for openly breaking the law & face same hardship in future employment as the folks they put "gross misconduct" on.

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct.
That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting.

Rockstar leadership deciding to fire 30+ union workers and the workers deciding to fight back is going to be something we look back on as a turning point for our unionization effort.

sort of incredible to read a review that doesn't just made a vague nod at AI being bad, but actively reckons with the ways in which falling obsessively to AI usage actively obliterates the artistic intent and integrity of the work you've made.

The ChatGPT subreddit is absolutely hilarious. LLMs just output statistically likely responses, and a statistically likely response to being asked to do some work is "I'll have that done by...". So apparently in some cases ChatGPT had just been telling users it'll get back to them later.
