For 2025 I think we should just ignore every "AI did this thing" report that does not explicitly state the resource cost (energy/CO2 for training and inference, hardware requirements/e-waste). We just cannot afford burning the planet for technological parlor tricks.
You think automotive engineers ever go “good thing im an automotive engineer because it would be a fucking nightmare to drive this thing if I wasn’t” anyway that’s what working in IT is like
My biggest pet peeve is restaurants/gigs/events or venues of any kind which have a social media page instead of a website. I don't have fucking instagram, so I literally can't see your menu/lineup? Even if I had instagram, it's an entirely inaccessible format so would be fucking useless? These platforms are for promotion, not for hosting vital information.

Heh, my first ever YouTube finger-wag. I mean, I get it... the lyrics of this song are not exactly safe for work. 😂

Since @defcon is right around the corner, however, I'll say that the video of our band playing this is worth a watch...

... note: that video is made up entirely of photos from ten years ago at con, so there's a very non-zero number of beloved friends whom we all now miss very much.

Dan, Tuna, Roamer, Rance... just to name a few.

Love you all, miss you all. 💔

p.s. The official Mastodon Android app does not have hashtag following. If you're using Android, I would strongly advise using the third party apps Tusky or Fedilab instead, which do support hashtag following and have a lot more features besides.

Alternatively you can use the website on your phone, it works well too and gets all the latest features first.

To anyone thinking about joining BlueSky, especially artists: everything you post is sent to a third party for AI labeling.

BlueSky uses AI to label content for moderation, and to do that they use a company called https://thehive.ai. If you look through their privacy policy, you will see that they can use content sent to them to train models for all their services, which include generative AI for both text and images.
