The first ten minutes I spent on social media this morning made me feel all kinds of things. Why is it that people who routinely use LLMs are so loud and brash and proud, making these tools appear as essential and inevitable?

A post by a dev whose app I use said something along the lines of: "no use exercising your coding skills, AI is too good now, you can't compete with it anyway".

Another post by a user on an instance I try to engage with wrote - literally: "tired of overthinking every decision?" and then disclosed he had created an AI that will "run a weighted decision matrix so you don't have to." In all seriousness.

What is this dystopian world where human qualities are devalued, critical thinking is discarded and surveillance capitalism is ignored at the altar of AI worship?

If they are loud and proud, maybe so I can be too... but in the opposite direction.

This weekend I will start the MIT's Missing Semester class (the 2020 Lectures, so pre-AI) because in this brave new world hyping up techno-fascist LLMs, knowing the basics of code are essential IMHO.

So my March "project" will be a deep dive in MIT's Missing Semester and my April project will be off-grid mesh radio communication.

What about you, what are you doing to resist?

Special props to @emilymbender @cwebber and @tante for being outspoken on these issues... you're my beacons of hope

Cari COMPAGNI del PD ma veramente avete permesso il passaggio alla camera dell ddl antisemitismo ? Veramente vi siete presi il lusso che passasse una legge che impedisce o riduce la possibilità di criticare lo Stato di Israele e la sua politica ? Non vi pare che un paese che aggredisce ed invade contemporaneamente 7 stati confinanti in nome della sicurezza ma soprattutt in nome di Dio non vada solo criticato ma anche fermato ?

Considering putting together a resource on building accessible tables. I know they're often a headache, but it's something I got really good at during my years working in academia. #a11y
