Historically a teacher by profession. I re-designed my life after a cancer diagnosis.

Earned a BSc. in Software Engineering, a Masters in Entrepreneurship & now I develop/research/use AI.

All this makes me deeply interested in how human nature, society & technology all affect each other.

I love teaching, learning, laughing & solving problems elegantly.

> When developers say that LLMs make them more productive, you need to keep in mind that this is what they’re automating: dysfunction, tampering as a design strategy, superstition-driven coding, and software whose quality genuinely doesn’t matter, all in an environment where rigour is completely absent.

Happy birthday Mastodon! 🎉

From Vivaldi, a big thank you to @Gargron, the rest of Mastodon's team and everyone else who enjoys and breathes life into this corner of the internet!

Here's to 10 more! 🥂

“Asking an AI chatbot a question consumes a great deal more energy than finding the answer via simple web search or calculator. It adds extra demand for no good reason... a bit like driving to the shops in an SUV instead of riding your bike.”

Or driving any kind of car. AI, like cars, aims to reconfigure everyday life in a way that’s vastly more energy-hungry and polluting… and profitable for a few.

The environmental cost of datacentres is rising. Is it time to quit AI?

As the QuitGPT movement gains momentum, should people concerned about the environmental impacts of AI consider opting out?

It's weapons factories. #BigGun

That's why the US does a war every chance it gets and it never left the state of war since it entered WW2.

Media wants us to feel sorry for Israeli soldiers who committed genocide and killed 20 people a day.

Not for the Palestinians who suffered genocide
Not for the Iranian families who lost 170 children
Not for the tens of thousands of orphans in Gaza

They want us to weap for the poor helpless Israeli soldiers who have to live with the trauma of knowing they "just followed orders" to mass murder innocent children like Hind Rajab.

Nah—I hope they enjoy their self made hell in this life & the next
