📢 New blog article

This article explores several complementary definitions of #SmallTech and #HumanTech (frugal, sovereign and open), their pros and cons when implemented individually, and proposes a sustainable approach at the intersection of them.

It advocates for more direct connections between users and developers, for tools with a specific purpose rather than big platforms with ever-increasing scopes, for localized rather than one-size-fits-all global solutions, and for a “local pub” approach opposed to the McDonald’s approach.

Instead of defending the use of LLMs for polishing up your writing, we could be advocating for unpolished writing. Blog posts with spelling errors and awkwardly repeated words. Emails that sound a bit less warm and professional because you forgot the preamble of "Apologies for the late reply, hope you're well! Thanks for the thing last week".

If there's no budget for a human editor, why should the text meet a "professional" (middle class, formally educated) standard? Dyslexic people can just write how they write and people can deal with it. Autistic people can just say what they mean to say and not waste energy on the double empathy gap.

We can learn to read for a more inclusive world, instead of wasting the planet's diminishing resources masking our differences.

At this point, open-source development itself is being DDoS'ed by LLMs and their human users.

At the risk of being a bit gross: this is the software development version of peeing in the pool. If *one* person does it, it's gross but will probably go unnoticed. However, at this point, it's like having 100 people all lined up on the side of the pool peeing into it in unison. I don't really want to swim in that, do you? And now they've started eyeing the punchbowl and watercoolers too. #AI #AIslop #LLMs
