Random Finnish guy, "Berlin based" since back when it was supposedly cool. Music, DJ stuff, demoscene (as Break/mfx) etc. Research software dev in real life. No love for fascists or "AI" grifters.
Emelia 👸🏻Friendly reminder: last year I built FediMod FIRES, a protocol and reference server implementation for sharing moderation data.
I haven't yet been able to get anyone to adopt it or even signal intent to adopt. But regularly I see people complaining about the lack of data sharing when it comes to moderation, especially for combating spam, scams, and harassment. The tool is there, please use it!
Whilst I'm not actively working on FediMod FIRES this quarter, I did apply in November for a grant to continue that work, and last I heard a few weeks ago is that the grant made it to the next stage, so I may have some money again to fund development.
It's not 1.0.0 yet, because I decided it needed more work for me to be happy to call it that, but it is usable!
Installation is also super simple for data producers, literally two commands on debian or ubuntu boxes.

Sound Stream - Freakin'
Sound Stream (2005)
https://www.discogs.com/release/463119
Everyone likes Sound Stream, right? Catchy disco house with shamelessly sampled loops, a timeless recipe for good times if there ever was one.
While this ain't no "Live Goes On", it's still fun stuff. It sounds relatively fresh, which we can probably attribute to the simplistic production. Fewer bells and whistles, smaller chance of feeling dated? The signature sample repeating trickery is there though and it arguably helps in setting these tracks apart from your average loopy tools.
Obviously these are 100% DJ weapons and nothing else, but they do deliver on that front.

Multiple friends have now told me a version of the following story from 1st hand experience:
1. Employer enacts an everyone-must-use-"ai"-for-everything policy
2. The bills start coming in
3. Employer goes "wait no not like that", starts severly restricting token quotas and/or telling employees to only use lying autocomplete "for important things"
..and this is with the current rock-bottom loss leader pricing, where the real bills are footed by the investors of the slop machine peddlers.
How do you think it'll go when they eventually start cranking up the rates to cover their costs, let alone make profit?
Yes, I know: the endgame is to wait for the models to get "intelligent" enough, then save money by laying off everybody except for a single intern, who the CEO can then task with prompting the company's product line, business logic and operations into existence. Unless your product is slop, good luck with that.
Outfrost@MozillaAI Hey, I was wondering if you could help me with a request:
Disconnect, exit the industry, shut the fuck up, and never touch any software ever again.
Can you do that? All of you, please, @MozillaAI?
Arne BrasseurIt's clear that AI assisted coding is dividing developers (welcome to the culture wars!). I've seen a few blog posts now that talk about how some people just "love the craft", "delight in making something just right, like knitting", etc, as opposed to people who just "want to make it work". As if that explains the divide.
How about this, some people resent the notion of being a babysitter to a stochastic token machine, hastening their own cognitive decline. Some people resent paying rent to a handful of US companies, all coming directly out of the TESCREAL human extinction cult, to be able to write software. Some people resent the "worse is better" steady decline of software quality over the past two decades, now supercharged. Some people resent that the hegemonic computing ecosystem is entirely shaped by the logic of venture capital. Some people hate that the digital commons is walled off and sold back to us. Oh and I guess some people also don't like the thought of making coding several orders of magnitude more energy intensive during a climate emergency.
But sure, no, it's really because we mourn the loss of our hobby.
