What's going on with this goose suddenly?

Feeling very validated in my insistence upon using as little LLM crap as I can at work.

Too bad management doesn't fucking care

My sister, taking about the child of a coworker: "yeah she wears ears and a tail to school. Apparently it's this new thing the kids are doing called 'being a furry'"

Lmao

Just before this presentation we were told that the company is focussing a lot on sustainability and whatever. My question about how those two align was not answered.

Apparently in Q3 this year we'll have fully autonomous agentic colleagues that can complete any task.

Color me skeptical

Boss gave a breathless presentation about how we're going "AI native" whatever the fuck that means

It's that time of the year again

Oh the joys of running an open source Diabetes management app.

For no apparent reason, the app just stopped processing new blood glucose data. Developers aren't sure of the cause yet. Reinstall sometimes fixes it.

But hey, I was able to make a PR that provides a workaround while the actual issue is being worked on.

Every time I place a link on my site, I'm surprised that no webmwntions are sent out and spend a good bit of time debugging it. Only then do I remember that most sites just aren't setup to receive them

Architect: please use AI to generate tests
Me: I don't think it'll work out but ok

Me: "generate tests using the test cases in <file>. We use Test Driven Development so do not expect the tests to pass. We will update our implementation later. Only create tests"
LLM, after spending Lord knows how many tokens: "done, but I fixed some of your test cases because they didn't match the implementation"

...

And people keep asking me why I'm so sceptical about artificial "intelligence"

I'm starting to think more and more that one of my coworkers and friends is a furry and may be kinky and I'm infinitely curious and would love to just ask but I'm afraid I'll be seeing signs where there aren't any and am not excited about maybe ruining a friendship and work relation.

Just got sent a mandatory """Responsible AI""" course at work.

Unsurprisingly (but very disappointingly), responsible AI does not mention how there is no responsible way to use the technology because it's literally built on theft.

Some asshole stole the battery out of my electric bike whike I was doing a ten-hour volunteer shift...

If anyone's wondering what the different titles for #Wrapstodon mean, I just checked out the source code at https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/blob/7b8a5d42f144b038708b5c793c9bedfec38f36d4/app/lib/annual_report/archetype.rb#L16C3-L29C1

If your total (posts, replies, reblogs) is less than 113, you're a Lurker.

Otherwise, if you reblog more than twice as much as you post, you're a Booster.

Otherwise, if more than 10% of your posts are polls, you're a Pollster

Otherwise, if you reply more than twice as much as you post, you're a Replier

Otherwise, you're an Oracle.

The names differ between instances as far as I can see, but I guess the rules will be similar enough.

Speaking of which, I'm looking for recommendations for a #furry #artist to help me make a #refsheet . I'm of course willing to pay for the #commission

I don't really ever use hashtags so let's hope this is how it works 😅

playing around with an LLM a bit to generate images to see if my description contains enough details before I bother an actual artist with them. The results are (unsurprisingly) awful but at least the "thinking" text is funny

On top of a best sellers page, webshops should also have a worst sellers page

Just learned that my husband has been fired in a large reorganization...

Hold up, is all of genAI just kind of in a funding circlejerk? https://bsky.app/profile/anthonycr.bsky.social/post/3lzj5pbfxxc2g

The most recent update on my phone makes it look like it has some sort of danger level indicator or something.

Today, the danger level is 2.5/4
