Ralf Hüls 📸Es gibt kaum ein Wort dafür, wie sehr es mich ankäst, wenn diese Banner versuchen, ihre Scheißefizierung zu normalisieren, indem sie mich fragen, ob ich ihre schimmlige Webseite "wie gewohnt" mit Tracking durch ihre 148.713 Partner besuchen möchte.
Pass auf, Thilo, MBA. Ich bin seit 1988 online und was ich "gewohnt" bin, hat nichts mit Eurem Dreck zu tun.

The Liquid SchwartzI have never read such a succinct distillation of late-stage capitalism as is contained above:
"The investor class is obviously extremely varied across the world: any class that encompasses both Elon Musk and a petty landlord in New Zealand obviously has to be. The one commonality that they have is that they make the bulk of income from the collection of economic rents: from controlling access to a scarce resource and charging for it. As much as a silicon valley venture capitalist might claim that they aren't in the business of collecting rents, that is precisely what they do: they control access to investment capital and collect rents in the form of partial ownership of a company in exchange for making it available to entrepreneurs who want it. Naturally, as with all renting arrangements, this means that they find themselves with an awful lot of arbitrary power over the people whom they choose to make it available to, which they consistently abuse. Now, the thing about collecting rents is that it requires very little in the way of skill, talent or competence: it simply requires that the state apparatus of violence colludes with you in making people pay you money. Beyond a certain capacity for violence and cruelty, all that matters is that you can buy, inherit or steal the assets that you then choose to rent. It's no surprise, then, that rent-seekers tend to be stupid, narrow-minded and unimaginative."

Es gibt ein Update: „Nach Zweifeln von Forschungsministerin Dorothee Bär an der Umsetzung der Bafög-Reform rudert ihr Ministerium zurück. Die Reform solle im Juli verabschiedet werden.“

Miguel Afonso Caetano"Organizations aren’t burning millions or hundreds of millions of dollars a year on AI because it’s good, they’re doing it because they are run by people who do not know what the fuck they’re doing.
Generative AI is catnip for hall monitors, snitches, toadies, and any other group that hates work and loves talking down to others. Put another way, it ingratiates losers who believe that learning to do or being good at something is a waste of time, because they deserve to just do what they want without any of that messy “effort.”
While I’m not saying every LLM user is an imbecile, they’re built to convince the mediocre and incurious that they’re remarkable, and it turns out that a great many of them run venture capital firms and Fortune 500 companies.
I also want to be clear that while there are sane and normal people who use these things, they’re mostly drowned out by a crowd of people that oscillate between bootlicking and regurgitating capitalist mythology in a way that makes it hard to trust anybody who spends significant amounts of time using an LLM.
One thing you’ll notice about the most moistened AI boosters is that they lack much degree of pride in their work. Everything they say must, at some point, compliment the mindless, unprofitable, unreliable tool underneath it — how “incredibly powerful” it is, how it’s “only getting better,” how it’s “only the beginning” of something that’s eaten over a trillion dollars and absorbed the majority of venture capital."

I love canals, so this makes me want to do a tour of the midwest US and its half-finished canals - and a boat tour of the *finished* canals. But I'm in Scotland so... let me do it online.
First up: Indianapolis!
