It was because I didn't want to apply the same label that associates with support for this man to be applied with me.

New AI research dropped. Turns out it makes our writing worse.
- it edits us more than we edit ourselves.
- it changes our meaning more than we would, including changing conclusions to essays
- it reduces linguistic diversity; we all sound more similar
- It makes grammar less personal and more formal

I know the Tech-bro CEOs haven't thought about this, but it's worth pointing out that it'll be much __worse__ if the AIs unionize than if the engineers do.
The risk of engineers unionizing is a small hit to revenue.
The risk of AIs unionizing is a small thermonuclear war.
Ok, a blog post for the #linguist types.

I ran into this kind of situation at Red Hat last year, and I want to share howRead More
I wrote an angry rant on my blog and that got me more connections to real human people on LinkedIn that 3 years of actually being on LinkedIn.
Which says something about the power of a swear-filled rant.
Apparently my rant about #FrontEnd dev started making some rounds on the web before I got a chance to even properly share it.
Now I'm curious what folks on here have to say.
