  IMO, the simplest solution to the ethics of training #AI on public web content is to always release the model open weights. You got training data from the public, the public deserves to own the result.

  Human, not AI slop. AI didn’t choose to install itself onto a computer, write a 12,000 word research paper with hallucinated citations and publish it. A human did.

  If mechanical time keeping hadn’t made the leap to luxury, I wonder if it would’ve ended up in the same situation as walkmans. https://obsoletesony.substack.com/p/why-sony-cant-bring-back-classic-walkman

  Baked wings. Not crispy fried or charcoal grilled, but incredibly juicy and delicious anyway. Seasoned for an hour with a blended marinade of soy sauce, fresh garlic, cooking wine, smoked paprika, rice vinegar, and reconstituted dried scallop. Yep, the same scallop used for Cantonese soups. I thought it might give it that shrimpy umami I often find in Asian breaded wings. It did! #MakanApaToday #food #onlypans

  @BenjaminHan@sigmoid.social despite being better at off-by-one fixes, Opus still tends to prefer abstracting methods and classes that never get used by anything else. Like the use of a separate method to loop and filter rather than employing list comprehension. It's hard to steer this since it's a fairly subjective decision. (e.g. Is a double nested ternary too much for one line?)

  RE: https://infosec.exchange/@llorenzin/116528610271499411 All of the anxiety I've felt around AI written in hauntingly beautiful prose. "AI didn't take our jobs. Greed did. Same greed that moved factories to Bangladesh and keeps slaves in cobalt mines in the Congo, wearing a new mask."

  @rasterweb@mastodon.social there should be a “pay it forward” wall of random screws donated from the local community organized by size. I have plenty of random screws, and I wish I could trade them for a different size sometimes!

  Really enjoying this tiny ereader from XTEInk. The pocketability factor has me carrying this around everywhere and pulling it out when waiting on lines and things instead of opening TikTok.

  Cleaning out trapped lint and drain water deep in the recesses of our washer-dryer today. The stench is tolerable. The engineering decisions that led to a design requiring a micro extension wand on a shop vac to clean it all out is not.

  IT FINALLY WORKED!!!! All 3 miles of today’s run was powered by my running playlist streamed via Apple Watch cellular from my Plex media server. All the debugging, untangling Apple Watch dev quirks, all worth it. I’m streaming my own music to my own watch. Fuck you Spotify!!!! I can finally delete you from my life!!!

  Editing a colleague’s writing yesterday and the #AI voice is so astoundingly obvious. Worse still is seeing how the press release expository writing suddenly shifts into second person (e.g. “what you should know”) which I can only assume is his roughshod attempt at editing. If you’re not a confident writer, plagiarism never did you any favors and AI changes nothing.

  I should put some easy miles into my #running schedule. But my damn ego so desperately wants a 9:00 min/mi pace to be my easy pace that I never actually run easy.
