Can you imagine being the most powerful person in the world and not having any friends to share the experience with? I mean, sure, on the one hand it's almost impossible to feel any sympathy for a situation he's created for himself, and amplifies daily. But also it's just so sad. In spite of it all, he's just such a loser, surrounded by people who are only motivated by how they can benefit from the association. And what's even sadder is that nobody reading this is unsure who I'm talking about.

Open source opinionator at AWS, but opinions are all mine.
elilla&, famigerada travesti"AI" users are like, "I know this is imprecise but as a convenience these transcriptions are better than nothing"
then 70 years from now we'll still be struggling to debunk these entirely hallucinated transcriptions of thousands of manuscripts that were pissed into the pool of human knowledge.
some things are worse than nothing. "signal-shaped noise" is worse than nothing.

Three talks in to #fossbackstage, and I feel like each one has given me reasons to rewrite portions of my own talk. Lots to think about.

Æva, waiting for springHeading to Berlin for #FOSSBack to tell a story about information propagation asymmetry, about finding resilience in times of turbulence, and about stewardship of the digital commons.
F/OSS has been the thread woven through my life since college.
F/OSS has changed the world.
