I like folk music and electronic music in general. Anyone got some suggestions of artists to check out?

My faves are stuff like
- Gaia consort
- Alexander James Adams
- Dana Lyons
- Infected mushroom
- BT
- 1200 micrograms

Also political music of any genre rocks.

If what we are hearing is true, our president attempted mass murder earlier this week.

I desperately want the AI bubble to pop so people can finally wrestle with the real costs of LLMs instead of the deeply subsidized prices. I want people in legislation to penalize these companies for their crimes against humanity.

I am frustrated by the fact that Claude is actually decent at programming. I still think it’s not worth the costs wholly, because it’s still prone to mistakes and its code is awful.

My manager at work and I were talking about this and I mentioned that my attitude is that it can do about 80% of a given task. I basically feel like Claude and other AI LLM things can do, at best, around 80% of a given task.

My manager asked “What if 80% is enough?”

I had a response.

I’m really bothered by so much of this. So much of these AI systems are built on deeply unethical theft and disregard for human impact. They willingly allow these systems to give medical advice, provide therapy, and more. They have been documented to encourage suicide and murder in some cases. Their businesses are destroying the environment and the global marketplace of tech components. They are destructive and evil companies.

I said “Everyone can get that 80% from AI, including your competitors. What humans do in that 20% is what’s going to differentiate you and elevate you over your competition.” That 80% is the easiest part of the task, and it does it poorly/average at best. It’s not good at it. If you’re okay with mediocre, fine, but you’re going to get thwomped by someone that invests in humans doing human work much better than you can do it.

I'm not really seeing many people in my social circle caring much about Artemis II. It's interesting and strange. But I feel it myself. With the world being on fire, the USA turning into a wanna-be fourth reich, and everything else horrible... It's just hard to care about burning shit tons of fuel to send 4 folks around the moon in preparation for a USA centric moon base.

I had my first car v bike harasser today. He didn’t like that I was in his lane trying to make a left turn. There’s two intersections where I have to do this on a main road and I hate it every time.

Man cars are bad: https://youtu.be/umgi-CbaSRU?si=fgvgQHFezQ08I4kE

It’s so fucked up to me that we are out here fighting a war to get more control over oil so we can have worse cars that make downtowns worse and poison our communities.

This is so messed up that we work so hard and cause so much harm for something that is basically a societal addiction that mostly harms the humans in that society.

At the time, Mexico was struggling after having just won its independence from Spain. Mexico tried to boost its recovery by renting land to USA settlers. Then the USA refused to free their slaves or leave and created Texas instead. The USA used that to further invade the still recovering Mexico and forced them at gunpoint to sell 55% of their land at a discount. These events were still in living memory when presidents like Trump and Biden were born. It really wasn’t that long ago.

Mexicans now finding themselves in the USA state of California, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, or Utah were told they would become full citizens of the USA and keep their land. This was, of course, a lie. They were pushed out in favor of European descended Americans. Everything in this country is a lie. I see the worries of Canada echoing from USA’s past. This nation has done this before.

Remember the Alamo? Yeah so that happened in part because Mexico was trying to kick out USA settlers they were renting land to, after they refused to follow Mexico’s law outlawing slavery. I’ve learned about the motto “We didn’t cross the border. The border crossed us.” This fucking country.

While in Canada I did some research about what Canadians are actually concerned about regarding the USA somehow annexing Canada. And while doing that, I learned about how the USA annexed Mexico.

And suddenly… I’m so much more angry about every aspect of the anti Mexican shit that’s been going on.

Like did you know that the USA bought more than half of Mexico in the mid 1800s for the modern equivalent of $600M?

And they did that because the USA had invaded Mexico?

@pseudonym@mastodon.online This is one of my biggest problems with AI... They're unreliable and inconsistent. Sure, you can get great stuff out of it when you stick within the bounds of what it's been trained on... but outside that, it can be astonishingly and confidently awful and downright dangerous.
