Mastodon just turned 10. My eldest son also turns 10 this month.

Like my son, Mastodon is still figuring things out and is sometimes prone to emotional outbursts. Also like my son, Mastodon is very funny, kind, and has a special place in my heart (smaller than his place, obviously).

Happy Birthday, Mastodon!

My (least) favorite example of the “Cognitively brutal tasks” that @pseudonym@mastodon.online is describing:

McDonald’s experimented with AI order-takers at the drive-thru. When the AI would get confused, a human had to step in. Every time I saw this, without fail, the human immediately knew what to do and didn’t need to spend any time getting up to speed.

Which means that the human’s job went from “take orders” to “listen to a computer take orders and make sure it gets it right.” @pseudonym@mastodon.online

Sam Altman said, “People talk about how much energy it takes to train an AI model … But it also takes a lot of energy to train a human. It takes like 20 years of life and all of the food you eat during that time before you get smart.”

Have you noticed AI boosters being very specific and concrete about how AI will destroy all of the jobs, and very vague and hand-wavy about how AI will create abundance and remake the economy so people won't have to have jobs?

That's not an accident.

“I’m one of these people who’s very anti-’robot rights,’ as it were, because I believe it’s essentially a degradation of human rights. It doesn’t elevate robots to the same status as humans, it degrades humans to the same status as robots. And I think we should always, when we’re looking at these machines, treat them as what are, which is avatars of capital. You’re not being nice to a conscious being if you help a robot cross the street; you are helping capital in some way.” –James Vincent, speaking to @parismarx@mastodon.online on this week’s ’Tech Won’t Save Us.’ Vincent was addressing physical, embodied robots, but I think this obviously also applies to #AI generally. https://www.techwontsave.us/episode/316_whats_driving_the_push_for_humanoid_robots_w_james_vincent

Dough generally has high self-esteem, because it helps to feel kneaded.

I'm not as frothy as some are about the feature creep in Notepad, but if you are, I recommend Microsoft's in-Terminal text editor, Edit.

Clean, simple, nerdy, Nano-like. And the feature set is very close to Notepad before Microsoft started fucking around with it.

Webinar of Spider-Man was my least-favorite comic book.

ChatGPT can be a great source of insight about your relationship.

For example, if your partner asked ChatGPT what to do for Valentine’s Day, you know your relationship is in trouble.

Valentine’s Day is a crass, commercial holiday, a farce perpetrated by florists and greeting-card companies.

So tonight, I brought my wife a Friday the 13th bouquet.

Don’t count on the courts to save us, but support the fight on that front. The people saying the law and the courts don’t matter are doing the fascists’ work. https://masto.ai/@Nonilex/116053010985215400

Oh, sure—when *the company* automates my job and keeps collecting the profits, that's "innovation," but when *I* automate my job and keep collecting a paycheck, that's "timeclock fraud."

A popular tech newsletter this week recounted comments by Tim Cook about what the newsletter called "immigration issues in the US." Let me be clear: what we are facing in the United States are not "immigration issues." There are anti-immigration issues. There are ICE issues. There are fascism issues. If I had 500 characters to compose a post listing all of the problems in your life that have been caused by immigration, I could list them all and still have 500 characters to spare.

Putting out a #Fedihired request to the Fediverse: my wife Kourtney is looking for work. Part time (or piecework of some kind), remote, flexible or asynchronous hours are preferred (though she would definitely be available for calls/meetings as needed). Located in the U.S.

For the past several years, she has juggled our children and a part-time professional photography business. Prior to that, she has worked as a legal assistant to attorneys in a couple of different family law practices (note: as an assistant, not a paralegal), and has done reception and office management work previously as well. She has a BA in English.

If you have a part-time need for any of those skillsets or know someone who does, please get in touch! And even if you don't, as always in these situations, please boost for reach. Thank you!
