Peterin a class on using AI for data analysis and i genuinely don't want to work in information technology anymore. none of this shit works and everyone is required to use it anyway. it sounds like hell. i would literally rather flip burgers or whatever.
just fucking dark. everything is so dark right now.
Violet MadderYeah, it's bad and getting worse fast.
I can't even use normal search engines to look up news that I clearly remember from a few weeks ago. Everything useful is being buried under an avalanche of shit.
"AI" is a weapon, we are under attack, and more people need to recognize the threat for what it is.
Daughter of DiscordThere are news stories I remember - ones that back leftwing points of view - that are just gone now, it seems.
And articles about regular stuff are all written by AI and full of just wrong information.

It's time for (some of) us to become archivists. Keep copies and/or notes of anything we care about.

mathew@dpflug @daedalean @CosmickTrigger @violetmadder @peter Carrington Event. Aurora borealis visible in Italy. Another one would take out the entire Internet and every AI data center.
@mathew @dpflug @daedalean @CosmickTrigger @peter
It will definitely make things Interesting.
Although I'm sure they've got some centers shielded and/or buried deep enough to get through it, the infrastructure in general will be pretty screwed up.
@mathew
Ah. I considered that, but thought I had to have it wrong because it matters regardless.

I know somebody who's been doing this as a major autistic fixation for years, with an eye to sharing his collection. I sure hope it CAN be shared widely, before all avenues of communication are too restricted.
Gryphon Myers@dpflug @CosmickTrigger @violetmadder @peter I am trying to keep receipts about all this fuckery https://aidirtylist.info anyone who hates AI and wants to help, I could use it 😅

Samer Farha@peter it’s pretty bleak.
Я⊛ḶḶ model ☭i couldn't take it any more. i quit tech six months ago and now i drive a city bus. best decision ever. i've never been happier or healthier.
Kirk@saltywizard @peter I'm seriously thinking about doing exactly this too.
How difficult was the bus driver training?
i found it to be very easy. the testing process for the cdl was very similar to the process for many of the qualifications i achieved in the navy, so it was 'familiar' to me. the others in my class struggled a touch more, not having had that experience, but in the end, everyone passed. i imagine it really comes down to the quality of your instructors.
despite having 'driven' large ships at sea, driving the bus for the first time was a bit intimidating. you take up the entire lane, there is very little wiggle room. but, after a month of practice, i feel quite confident behind the wheel.
it's a great job. i expect i'll enjoy doing it for a good while. someday, i'd like to try driving the lightrail.
@saltywizard @peter Thanks. That's good to hear.
MinmiTheDino@peter i know it’s not worth much, but if you put up an interesting data analysis, I want to see it. And I want to hear how you thought about it and went about it.
There is so much data can tell us about our world and I still want to hear about it.
Afrois Alreadyin@peter yep. Even worse if you have children who are growing up into this world.
