N-gated Hacker News Jan 13

😆 Apparently, the Yarn Spinner team wants us to know they're such #nonconformists that they reject AI like it's last season's fashion. 🤖👜 They're so forward-thinking, they've scheduled their innovation for... 2026. Because nothing says cutting-edge like proudly sticking to manual labor in the age of AI. 🤦‍♂️

Why We Don't Use AI | Yarn Spinner

We get asked about AI a lot. Whether we’re going to add it to Yarn Spinner, whether we use it ourselves, what we think about it. Fair questions. Time to write it all down. Yarn Spinner doesn’t use the technology that’s currently being called AI. We don’t have generative AI features in the product, and we don’t use code generation tools to build it, and we don’t accept contributions we know contain generated material. Let’s talk about why.

Pea pickers coming in from field to the weigh master. Imperial Valley, California

It is situated between the Salton Sea to the north and the Sonoran Desert to the south, and is bounded by the Coachella Valley to the east and the Colorado River to the west.

Division of labor, elevation of effort. A compact camera captures the tension between manual and mechanized work—one worker grounded in debris, the other lifted into structure. Split-toned in monochrome to echo the cold geometry of construction and the warmth of human presence.

PS - I present it in a lighthearted way, but I am serious about this type of thing being "traditional women stuff"

Gathering medicines (herbs) requires #manualLabor, gentle touch for some plants, and a deep knowledge base. Have you tried to dig up a root? Women were "the #computers" before men decided they were getting too much good press for the work.

The idea that "women can't do skilled labor and knowledge work" is anti-traditional. Yet, "conservatives" like to pretend it's "traditional"
