"i'm a programmer because i enjoy programming, not because i secretly aspire to instead gently debate a word salad machine into making a ten-line change for me"

JA GENAU DAS
github.com/dotnet/runti...
this idea that people who actually do the thing will be "left behind" (whatever that means), while people who want to just tell a chatbot "do a thing" will be surfing the wave of the future, is truly baffling i'm a programmer because i enjoy programming, not because i secretly aspire to instead gently debate a word salad machine into making a ten-line change for me

you know what would be a great way to market the AI technology you really want me to use but which I have thus far refused to touch?

what if you used it to imply that my emails are poorly written, in real time as I'm writing them, even though I'm consciously trying to avoid sounding like AI?

There is no drawdown. There is no retreat. ICE is just redistributing their assets to better avoid accountability.
The same day DHS announced the surge would end in Minnesota, ICE activity increased in small towns
The less densely populated areas outside the Twin Cities make it harder for protesters and observers to organize.

This story is also personal for me -- I had my own run-in with an unstable man who seemed to be fixating on me via Microsoft Copilot.

In addition to other delusional, violent, and uncomfortable statements, the man told me he and Copilot had surmised that I was a "gateway" on his "Job journey":
While reporting on AI mental health crises, I had my own disturbing brush with a person whose chatbot use had led him to focus inappropriately on someone: myself. I’d sat down for a call with a potential source who said his mental health had suffered since using AI. Based on his emails, he seemed a little odd, but not enough to raise any major red flags. Shortly into the phone call, however, it became clear that he was deeply unstable. He told me that he and Microsoft’s Copilot had been “researching” me. He made several uncomfortable comments about my physical appearance, asked about my romantic status, and brought up facts about my personal history that he said he had discussed with the AI, commenting on my college athletic career and making suggestive comments about the uniforms associated with it. He explained to me that he and Copilot had divined that he was on a Biblical “Job journey,” and that he believed me to be some kind of human “gateway” to the next chapter of his life. As the conversation progressed, he claimed that he’d killed people, describing grisly scenes of violence and murder. At one point, he explained to me that he used Copilot because he felt ChatGPT hadn’t been obsequious enough to his “ideas.” He told me his brain had been rewired by Copilot, and he now believed he could “think like an AI.” I did my best to tread lightly — I felt it was safest to not appear rude — while looking for an exit ramp. Finally, I caught a lucky break: his phone was dying. I thanked him for his time and told him to take care. “I love you, baby,” he said back, before I could hit the end call button. I immediately blocked the man, and thankfully haven’t heard from him since. But the conversation left me disquieted. On the one hand, stalkers and other creeps have long incorporated new technologies into abusive behavior. Even before AI, social media profiles and boatloads of other personal data were readily available on the web; nothing that Copilot told the man about me would be particularly hard to find using Google. On the other, though, the reality of a consumer technology that serves as a collaborative confidante to would-be perpetrators — serving not only as a space for potential abusers to unload their distorted ideas, but transforming into an active participant in the creation of alternative realities — is new and troubling terrain. It had given a prospective predator something dangerous: an ally. “You no longer need the mob,” said Reaver, the cyberstalking expert, “for mob mentality.” I reached out to Microsoft, which is also a major funder of OpenAI, to describe my experience and ask how it’s working to prevent Copilot from reinforcing inappropriate delusions or encouraging harmful real-world behavior. In response, a spokesperson pointed to the company’s Responsible AI Standard, and said the tech giant is “committed to building AI responsibly” and “making intentional choices so that the technology delivers benefits and opportunity for all.” “Our AI systems are developed in line with our principles of fairness, reliability and safety, privacy and security, and inclusiveness,” the spokesperson continued. “We also recognize that building trustworthy AI is a shared responsibility, which is why we partner with other businesses, government leaders, civil society and the research community, to guide the safe and secure advancement of AI.” I never saw the man’s chat logs. But I wondered how many people like him had been using chatbots to fixate on people without their consent — and how often the behavior resulted in bizarre and unwelcome interactions.

Die AfD-Landesverbände Brandenburg, Sachsen, Sachsen-Anhalt und Thüringen werden vom Verfassungsschutz bereits als gesichert rechtsextremistisch eingestuft. Seit heute gilt das auch für die AfD Niedersachsen. Wie viele Einstufungen dieser Art will man noch abwarten bis man ein Verbot auch nur prüft?

Die Realität ist, dass Bürgermeister oft sympathische, gutmeinende Zeitgenossen mit dem Ohr an der Bevölkerung, aber selten qualifizierte, weitsichtige Manager sind. Und hier geht es um große volkswirtschaftliche Zusammenhänge. Es gäbe aber genügend Lehrmittel und -beispiele, wie es geht.

This the skeleton key that explains the entire left-of-center political and informational environment. There is no social reward for ever saying anything nice about a mainline Democrat, so no one does. As a result, baseless antipathy towards the party completely pervades the environment.

The drunk uncle theory.

You don’t argue with the casually homophobic uncle at Thanksgiving dinner to change his mind; you argue so that the closeted cousin at the kids table knows there’s safe people and better possibilities out there
youngvulgarian.marieleconte.com Marie Le Conte @youngvulgarian.marieleconte.com · 1d
agree with this (hah) but also think a particular mistake the left made for a long time online, and still makes to an extent, is failing to understand that the person whose mind you may actually change is the one reading the argument you're having, not the one you're arguing with
anamariecox.bsky.social Ana Marie Cox @anamariecox.bsky.social · 1d
The secret to engaging in social media debate is knowing you will never win anyone over. The best you can hope for is to have people who already agree with tell you you're awesome. You might great a dopamine thrill from the righteousness of your anger! Fine benefits, all. But you will never win.
