I'm sick and tired of reading about LLMs, because most of the arguments have already been made at this point.

However, I'm sharing this essay as it comes at the issue from a different angle and makes clear a number of points I've struggled to articulate, not just about LLMs, but about community building and women in tech.

An LLM cannot perform a code review, because code reviews are about sharing knowlege and connecting people, not just proofreading code.

One of the great lessons in life is that we built this.

All of it.

And we choose throughout our days how we will continue or change the world we have built.

We can build differently.

German outlets are reporting about a study done by lobbyists that (miraculously) found that businesses are unhappy with the GDPR.

Obviously, this still hasn't been said enough: the GDPR's purpose isn't making businesses happy! Its purpose is to protect our rights. It's necessary because far too many businesses won't respect our privacy unless they're forced to!

If running their business responsibly is such a huge burden for them, maybe they should let someone else do it.

Do you use #Wikipedia, #Wiktionary, #WikimediaCommons, #Wikidata, or other #Wikimedia resources? The #WikimediaFoundation has just disbanded an entire team of staff who work closely with volunteer contributors, coincidentally while some of those same staff have been working to form a union. Volunteers from various projects are planning collective action in solidarity with the workers. On the English-language Wikipedia, this action might include an editorial strike (no new content) or making the wiki read-only. #union #solidarity
