I find it disillusioning to see the casual use of "AI" slowly creeping into our hacker circles. Most of the discussions about AI focus on the quality of its output. I think we're not doing a good job communicating its more fundamental dangers.

In this blog post I write about how tools shape who we are and why the resource intensiveness of AI is ingrained in its purpose. About the devaluation of skills, and power cycles.

Let me know what you think.

My top tips:

1) Follow @FediTips

2) Follow @lisamelton

3) Follow at least 200 other people. I'm serious. If you don't follow a lot of people your timeline will be empty. Follow everyone who seems even vaguely interesting and just unfollow the ones who annoy you later.

4) Boost a lot. There is no algorithm. We have to be the ones to recommend stuff to each other. If you think others might like it - boost it!
