Haven't used Mastodon in years, literally, this is just my backup for Bluesky. Mostly because the lack of an effective search function on Mastodon rendered it useless for my needs.

Until December of last year I was using LLMs as fancy autocomplete for coding. It was nice for scaffolding out boilerplate, or giving me a gut check on some things, or banging out some boring routine stuff. In the past two months Claude has written about 99% of my code. Things are changing. Fast
So far I haven't seen one of these tools that isn't, in one way or another, glossing over the step where a lot of un- or under-paid humans are doing all the heavy lifting that makes any of this work at all. Do you presume to criticize the great and powerful Oz^H AI model? Pay no attention to the hundreds or thousand of people behind the curtain.

Put differently: every current ML demo is an abstraction layer that gives us license to ignore the details of exploitation.
Let me tell you a story of long, long ago.
I grew up in a suburb, and right in front of our house was a field of grass surrounded by houses. Traffic was light, the houses were new so owned by young families (yes, it was so long ago that young families could afford a house) and so there were lots of kids always about outside. Across from us lived a boy my age who was also in my class, and I played with him a lot -- we were good friends. Eating lunch at each others' houses, etc. 1/
To all who celebrate: please rise for the day's anthem.
Seriously, this is an excellent mashup.
