💩 Ho letto il nuovo saggio di Doctorow e ci ho trovato tanti spunti interessanti. A quando la versione in italiano?
I'm still reading the first chapter of #AttackSurface by @pluralistic (audiobook; very well read). This security nerd is enjoying it a lot.
If someone can convince me that the protagonist, Masha, isn't at least inspired by @evacide , I will eat my shorts. (I don't recall a dedication at the start, so it may be moot).

After reading Doctorow's post, I'm sticking with my simple analogy that the anti-AI position is a lot like veganism.
I think the successes and failures will be of similar flavor. They will be mocked by some, celebrated by others. Most will be sometimes-AI flexitarians. The always-AI techbros are the carnivore diet people.
so #Doctorow said a dumb thing, huh?
that's ok, I've said probably 17 dumb things since lunch and I don't write 4,000+ words a day in newsletters and articles and book drafts.
(doesn't mean I agree with the "purity culture" comment he made. but I am tired of the progressive end of the spectrum constantly eating itself because a person said ONE STUPID THING after YEARS of saying The Right Things. the "YOU HAVE TO AGREE WITH ME ON ALL THINGS OR UR DEAD TO ME" doctrine doesn't sit well with me.)
I'm starting to believe enshittification is not just an end result of bad policies like Doctorow claims. I think it's just another form of entropy and applies to most everything, not just tech. Nothing lasts forever, and everything eventually goes to shit. Bad policies and greed just speed it up
On Alliances
This morning (it is evening now in freezing Berlin) I wrote an article about a blog post Cory Doctorow had released the day before. In his post Cory made an argument about LLM usage that I criticized: I think his view on technology being neutral and it being possible to "liberate" any technology by making it "free and open" is a bit wonky. You can read his stance and my arguments in the respective articles. Cory Doctorow is not like you or me. He is famous - at least on the Internet and in […]
