It's true: AI is just unpaid exploitation all over again

wandering.shop/@aesthr/1145...
Still true: in nearly every case you can replace generative “AI” with “unpaid intern” and it reveals a lot of the problems: Labor exploitation Questionable results Fucked up structural incentives “But my unpaid intern solves this one problem for me!” Yeah, but you’re still using unpaid labor so fuck that. “But my unpaid intern is so convenient “ Do i need to go on?

Finally getting my second 3D printer running properly again! Heavily modded Ender 3 V2. Had some issues with my old cooling setup: it melted!
The business end of a modded Creality Ender 3 V2. It has been switched to direct drive, 5015 cooling fan, and a Satsana-based duct.

Sharing this amazing Pride flag that NASA created, but had to remove because of the current government.

Managed to put my "new to me" amateur radio into my Ford Escape! @Balloonicorn picked me up an Icom IC-207H. Took some head scratching before I figured it out (tks to Ed). I took a couple 3D models and mashed 'em together: a radio bracket that clips to the center console! #amateurradio #3dprinting
Version 1 of my Icom IC-207H bracket. 15A fuse tap installed in an unused 15A circuit. Ground cable attached to a bolt for the frame, outside the picture IC-207H installed in V1 of my bracket. Version 2 of my IC-207H bracket with better screw holes and more offset for the clip.

Apparently bots are stirring up resentment about Canadians on social media. Seems right out of the Russian playbook.
⚠️ New bot activity to watch out for: Bots posing as Canadians aggressively yelling at random Americans who haven't posted anything anti-Canadian. It comes off as Canadians policing anyone who is American or is in America. These accounts are designed to stir tension between the U.S. and Canada, manufacturing division to justify American support for an invasion of Canada. 🇨🇦 Don't engage with hyper-zealous bots.

Friend: *sends me a picture* 3D Printer is jammed up. Can you help?

Me: *squinting at picture* Perhaps. I'll need an old priest and a young priest.

My good buddy @Balloonicorn@defcon.social brought me an Icom IC-207H to use as a mobile ham rig, but it didn't include a mounting bracket. So I'll print my own!

My best buddy Matt, VA7PDA, @Balloonicorn@defcon.social , dropped this ol' beauty on me tonight! So excited to be setting it up soon! Kenwood TR-7850 2M transceiver. No CTCSS tones built in, but I've read that I can be modded to accommodate them.
