Aral Balkan<p>We will continue to live within an unjust system as long perpetuating it is seen as what normal people do while fixing it is considered the purview of a select group of specialists.</p>
Dare Obasanjo<p>I’m constantly amused by the idea that we will invent AGI and AI will solve all of our problems. We don’t need AGI to solve our problems, even ChatGPT can already tell us obvious solutions to our current problems.</p><p>We already have good answers on how to reduce gun violence, infant mortality or climate change. The problem is too many people have a vested interest in the problems being unsolved. It isn’t because we haven’t invented smarter than human AI. When we do, we’ll ignore it too.</p>

James Smith 💾<p>Was looking at running self-hosted MinIO for an S3-compatible object store, but now it advertises itself as an &quot;Exascale Object Store for AI Data, Agentic Computing, and Analytics&quot;, so... I think I&#39;ll find something else thanks.</p><p>Anything that&#39;s pinning itself to AI bullshit is just such a massive turnoff to me nowadays.</p>

James Smith 💾<p>It’s not happened yet, but I think I should add a “we won’t accept vibe coded PRs” clause to the Manyfold contributor guide. Anyone know a good link to a simple concise rationale for such a clause that I could include?</p>

cassie, girl-shaped object<p>Being trans in this timeline is like being that character in a horror film that is begging, screaming, pleading with the rest of the characters to see that the villain is real and he's going to kill all of us but they all just laugh it off like i'm just being paranoid even though people are already disappearing</p>
