Solar power IS nuclear power. It's just the reactor is really really far away.

I can’t believe that “Ötzi” hasn’t become a generic metaphor for something that you find far beyond its use-by date in the freezer.

“I went looking for my Tupperware and found it in the freezer. It had Chicken Ötzi and rice in it. I haven’t cooked that since July.

To me, the most disheartening thing about AI is how quickly we're sliding into the slop culture. It's insidious: no one wants AI to ruin their hobby, but most folks see it as a cool superpower that the tech lets them imitate other people's skills - "see, I couldn't draw and now I can".

The net effect is that everything is getting ensloppified, even in the absence of economic incentives. Yeah, that includes Mastodon: I see AI-generated memes and blog posts every day. And the usual reaction is "what does it matter, it's a funny meme", but maybe it kinda does?

Apparently, my daughter was given an assignment to use generative #AI to create a poster / cover for A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court in her English class. She took offense to this and asked if she could just do the assignment by hand or digitally using one of her #art apps. She was told no. So, my daughter decided to take a stand and not do the assignment. We support her decision completely. Asking someone who lives for creating her own art to use AI and refusing to accept anything else is inexcusable.

People who produce large documents with LLMs seem to frequently be under the impression that the recipient would like to receive a large document

They are pretty much always wrong

If this had been a woman in a senior dev, security or SRE position, she would not have concluded this with an inspiring LinkedIn post about "not always getting it right".

This guy is the CEO of Chainguard by the way.

I hope that this causes Chainguard to be kept away from any security related embargoes until trust has been properly restored.
