Socially awkward penguin, rollin' hard in the land of fediverse chicks and reply guys.
@godpod do something about it. You made this mess, clean it up. Lightning bolt time.
Am Montag kommt mein neues Sachbuch über sehr kleine Lebewesen raus, für das ich ganz viele Fotos gemacht habe, und ich wollte es schon LÄNGST ankündigen, doch meine Depression hat mich ganz schön gebeutelt die letzten Wochen. Aber es ist ja noch nicht zu spät, deshalb jetzt! https://shop.autorenwelt.de/products/im-schatten-von-giganten-von-jasmin-schreiber?srsltid=AfmBOopbUEk9SIKq0bi3A7IIWb3gaiDLhs0bfgLTdO8ocR2czvMFiqlY
#GutenMorgen Fediland. ☕
Eigentlich sollte dieses Bild weg. In der Dämmerung bei Gegenlicht aufgenommen, waren nur Silhouetten zu erkennen. Erst bei der Nachbearbeitung habe ich dann festgestellt, wer mir da vor die Linse geflattert ist.
Habt einen schönen #Samstag.

Dear Chasey Lain
I wrote to complain
You never wrote me back
#Sing

Standing in the bakery line at Safeway in a small town.
Old fellow, kind who has enough tools in his truck to change your engine, is in front of me.
He orders a sheet cake, and asks the worker to "put some gay stuff on it", since his son has just come out.
The worker draws a rainbow, dad picks out rainbow flags. Asks her what else is "gay".
After he leaves it takes the young baker and I a moment to stop smiling at each other.

@Garwboy this is just every day at work now
@PJPaints @Garwboy the "would you like to use AI" popup in Adobe Acrobat makes it crash. I love my job.
@Flisty @Garwboy I managed to avoid the Adobe update for ages but now I have the update and all the stupid AI bits.
@Garwboy it's an added value proposition gone horribly wrong
@Garwboy it is just the way "they" want it, whoever "they" are...
@Garwboy The interesting thing about the AI boom is that we learned in the first week where and how it can be actually useful. And now we are trying 'everything else' for the sake of selling a brand or a product that nobody needs.
@SteveBallantyne @Garwboy At this point the forced feeding of AI in every industry that honestly _doesn't need it_ is ridiculous. It's like that adage throwing spaghetti at the wall to see what will stick.
@Garwboy Actually, you've been using AI all those years. Programs are just *full* of if-then-else statements.
@loadhigh @Garwboy That's the game developer's definition of AI... That's the AI that works. However, nowadays it isn't real AI, unless it doesn't work.
@Garwboy I wish “AI” had a higher barrier to entry like blockchain. Remember when companies were trying to shove blockchain into everything?
@Garwboy Most FLOSS is shunning this trend, thankfully. Switch to FLOSS whenever you can :)
@Garwboy only usefull thing that this whole "revolution" gave me is to expand my bulletpoints i used to put into documentation into useless bullshit wall of text. And every business manager tells me how nice the docs are -.-.
@m3tti the primary use case of AI is impressing gullible fools
@XauriEL so true ... so true. And now every tool and phone and device has this crap technology -.-. Its only usefull for more survilance and content generation for these exect technologies. 100% they are taking your texts and train the models with it
@XauriEL @m3tti The secondary use case of AI is destroying natural resources to power AI.
@Garwboy I META see this as X.
@Garwboy
all the tools I'm using are showing me, that they want to replace me with their AI

@Garwboy We didn't ask for it, yet it's being shoved into our faces. How very 'rapey' of these Tech Bros....😡

'Consent' isn't a word in their dictionary.

Companies adding AI to their products 🤣#ai #aitips #aitools #artificiaintelligence #machinelearning

@Garwboy Teammate was showing off Chrome's AI dev tool just now. "You can even ask it how to make an element more accessible!" We watched it churn for 30 seconds or so before it announced that the item had a very good contrast ratio of 21:1.

You only need to click the font color in the non-AI side to see it's actually 8.45

Glad we're setting fire to the planet for this /s

@Garwboy Just today google offered to get gemini to "help" me with a work email. I am a published author of science fiction, I think I can write an email asking head office to order us garbage bags without assistance, please and thanks
@XauriEL @Garwboy Maybe you need that paperclip character to help you write a resume.
@Garwboy This image is perfect.
@Garwboy
Nothing is intelligence about AI. It's merely a BS generator.
