I'm not mad at you if you've tried to use AI because you want things to be easier.

I'm mad at the people who are telling you that our current "AI" technologies are the solution. Because they are lying to you.

They are lying about what AI can do.

They are lying about why they are making it.

They are lying about what it costs.

They are lying about what will happen to you if it works.

They are lying about what is happening to the world in the meantime while it very definitely doesn't.

My brother used DeepSeek to decide which 14 people to fire at his company by uploading the entire company payroll into it and prompting to cut costs by 80%.

Anyway, just a reminder that your boss *is* your class enemy, thinks you're stupid, and is using AI against you.

does anybody have material on suicide intervention that doesn't include cops? im mostly looking for resources on how one can learn to assist directly (guides, literature, training, etc) rather than resources to help during crisis; but am open to anything right now

for context i'm in montreal, canada

please #boost etc

The thing that kills me about all this is that after years of building up kind/human/caring community around me, ppl I appreciated because of those traits suddenly drop all semblance of caring about them because.... they have the perception of coding a bit better/faster. That's all it took.

I'll say it straight: you can't voluntarily and willingly use LLMs in a way that's aligned with respect for marginalized folks, with respect for the environment, with respect for labor issues and rights, with respect for art, and with respect for the community aspects of things like open source.

It is simply impossible. Pretending you can is the deepest form of cognitive dissonance and I'm just beyond disturbed to see it happening all around me.

I've already unfollowed so many folks I once respected, blocked some others, and just generally withdrawn from a community that used to be so personally fulfilling to be a part of. It's really sad.
