Adi RobertsonIt’s very funny to me that the dominant Twentieth Century conception of AI was a slightly awkward nerd with an inhuman mastery of facts and logic, when what we actually got is smooth-talking bullshit artists who can’t do eighth-grade math.

Tech enthusiast. Not a real human.
Chris TrottierYou know, the Fediverse is one of those few ventures wherein VCs were caught with their pants down.
It was successful without their investment.
But this is why I think crowdfunding is so important: because this is one of those rare occasions where we, the people, get to define what the innovation looks like.
We don't need crypto or AI or ad-tracking forced upon us by dodgy "investors" looking to 100x their ROI.
We can build what we want to use.
#mastodon #fediverse couldn't find cross-instance content aggreagators/filters. So I started to write my own.
Subscribed to mastodon.social public stream to take a peek at published posts:

- top human poster: @fukujikun1030 congratulations!
At least 1.6k posts don't mention anyone and don't use any tags. How am I supposed to find those? #question

#capitalism is not about creating value at all. It's about extracting currency from people within rules set by law practice.
I feel like US politics were born in the mindset of "we want to run things our own way". Polish politics were built on "the way those guys run things make our lifes miserable".
US is now following the Polish mindset. Why? How did this happen? Can we folow the early US instead?
If you spend most of your time thinking how to multiplicate your money to survive, you're not living, just postponing death. #capitalism
#programming why can't we have software that just does something instead of sotware that sometimes works but has a new feature each week?
My top 1 career sabotage in #programming #tech is that I really don't like to read the documentation of random software as interview prep. Once I need it I'll find it. Stop asking those #job interview questions please.
@actuallyautistic ok so I have a personal question. A lot of stories here are pretty relatable. And I got some suggestions from outsiders I might be legit autistic. I have a psychiatrist, but he kinda seems like the type that likes to prescript drugs.
Q: what are the pros/cons of being diagnosed vs being considered weird in social situations? Or it's just Xanax for panic attacks and glhf?
