Borrowed this off a mate; time to introduce 12yo to one of the best games ever made.

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.

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.

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.

Ladies, if your man:

- is a fact
- is a scheme
- is an abstraction
- is a law
- is a part

He's not your man. He's a concept.

Was looking at running self-hosted MinIO for an S3-compatible object store, but now it advertises itself as an "Exascale Object Store for AI Data, Agentic Computing, and Analytics", so... I think I'll find something else thanks.

Anything that's pinning itself to AI bullshit is just such a massive turnoff to me nowadays.

CALL TO FEDIVERSE

Tons of discussion about seeking alternatives to #Microsoft #Github, now that it has become part of MS's #AI division.

What made GH so popular, we should ask? Well, a ton of features and services on top of #git and a huge platform that makes exploring millions of #FOSS projects easy, are among the reasons I suppose.

The #ActivityPub @forgefed project funded by #NGI0 via @nlnet is creating open standards to provide the same, *native* to the #fediverse!

Yet they need HELP.

Manyfold v0.121.0 is out; this is mostly internal work for future features, but there are a few small improvements, like better image thumbnails and display of model dimensions.

New AIWeirdness post: ChatGPT will apologize for anything, including stuff that didn't happen. It's not reflecting on stuff it did wrong, it's improv.
https://www.aiweirdness.com/chatgpt-will-apologize-for-anything/

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?

Listening to The Prodigy Experience, and something's wrong...

"Tracks "Wind It Up", "Hyperspeed (G-Force Part 2)" and "Charly" have been removed from streaming services, most likely due to sampling rights issues."

BRB, just off to start a FUCKING REVOLUTION.

BBC News - OpenAI claims GPT-5 model boosts ChatGPT to 'PhD level'

'PhD level' is such a meaningless term.

I have a PhD, and outside my very niche area of expertise, I'm just as capable of being a fucking idiot as everyone else.

Probably just a marketing phrase designed to play well with focus groups and tech bros who are salty they couldn't get a PhD

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

Was listening to some "focus chillout" music and getting distracted all the time. Now listening to System of a Down (Toxicity) and am on a roll.

Say what you like about AI-generated code, it's never going to come up with code like what I, a professional with over 30 years of experience, just wrote.
