RE: https://mstdn.ca/@actumontreal/117010465144324417 j'aime beaucoup Murphy Cooper, voilà une vidéo où il a créé un tshirt contre l'AI slop (j'ai fait une transcription dans l'alt text aussi)

RE: https://flipboard.social/@newsguyusa/117011530264880680 LMAO???? In all cases, Anthropic’s evaluation prompt specified to Claude that its environment was a simulation and that it had no internet access. Due to a misunderstanding between us and our evaluation partner, this was not the case, and internet access was available. Because of this, when Claude’s search led it to real systems on the open internet, it treated them as part of the exercise.

For better or for worse in 4 years, let's look back at this and remember: Tobias Lutke said we should just roll over. https://x.com/tobi/status/1885906286950363546 #canada #canpoli #shopify

RE: https://toot.io/@andy_matuschak/116977701000509522 Boosting with the quoted image as text: Examples. In all artistic fields, from painting to writing to music to architecture, students study the works of the masters. (In fact, artists who claim to be “self-taught” usually mean that they learned purely from examples.) Much has been written about the failure of software engineering schools to provide examples of great works, expecting students to somehow derive style from first principles. S...

RE: https://g0v.social/@bumingbaipod/116896044918865605 great conversation critiquing westerners who see china as an inspiring "lighthouse" away from the US ("chinese infrastructure is so advanced, china is leaving the US behind, china is developing its scientists while the US is discarding them") english subs available on the youtube video (: https://youtu.be/3jzyYjwM5Nw

SO excited for this book tour from trans CanLit legends Vivek Shraya and Kai Cheng Thom but they only shared it on Instagram 😭😭😭 So I'm doing my part and reposting it here vivekshraya: We couldn't be more thrilled to be coming together to share our new books with you! Both are speculative fiction novels that explore future worlds - THE HYSTERICALS is about a dystopia, while THE SHAPESHIFTER'S GUIDE is about utopia. And both are responses to the very real-world social and environment...

RE: https://infosec.exchange/@patrickcmiller/116749455911829582 Once again, "it's useful for programming" is being used as cover, to justify the continued existence of this company and industry. The money that we pay toward coding assistants extends the runway this industry has, to continue positioning itself as "indispensable" and "inevitable", while destroying labour rights, open knowledge, and the environment in the meantime. That money is actually critical...

RE: https://mastodon.social/@reedmideke/116526173253714894 Not sure how to put it but...it is really disturbing how ppl interested in chinese culture so readily adopt the frame of china=PRC=han people=mandarin speakers. Especially non-Chinese Mandarin learners. Just kind of fills me with dread seeing people want to learn mandarin and elevate Mandarin because it's "the global language of the future", while it's being used as a weapon for wiping out cultural identity...

RE: https://mastodon.social/@caseynewton/116456942253634796 Opponents of AI are often depicted as naive and ignorant. We are depicted as having our heads buried in the sand, unwilling to accept the great capabilities of AI, or as insecure and afraid of AI's capabilities. I would like to flip this narrative around: I think pro-AI technologists who only look at AI's "capabilities" are the naive ones. This is because the AI industry and the people funding, producing, and pushin...

RE: https://infosec.exchange/@mttaggart/116371937587992264 I think the way I would put it is: 1) The point of the AI project is ideological; the goal is to reshape industries such that we are dependent on AI companies' products, and to destroy free and open knowledge such that we are dependent on these products for thought and reasoning. We see an injection of AI into cybersecurity, while simultaneously drawing money and resources away from (boring) efforts that would actually broadly impr...

Overcoming language barriers for migrants is something important to me and critical in this time of retreating migration rights, and it's great to see an organization of people putting such care into it

Wanted to share this request for trans people from Canada: Mel Woods, an editor from Xtra Magazine (one of the few LGBTQ focused news outlets we have left in Canada), is working on a print feature about the question "What does it look like when we let trans people thrive?" They are looking for trans folks in Canada who are willing to share their stories. https://bsky.app/profile/melwoods.me/post/3mitt2ninmc2o Woods also specified: One last point: I really want to reflect the diversi...

RE: https://cloudisland.nz/@daisy/116312358923253621 I think the pro-AI people asking for "nuance" or "less polarization" are deliberately ignoring, at this point, the massive amounts of time, money, political capital, etc. being poured into the pro-AI project. Maybe it feels like you're being attacked on Mastodon, but we all know that the reach of this social network is very small. It's the case, right now, that billion-dollar companies and powerful political intere...
