@pojntfx not counting the people with ethical concerns, i think there’s a bit of that for sure.
for me it wasn’t until this year that the agents got good enough to work with how i do work at my job, and they’re still a weird mix of utter magic plus kind of dumb/lazy

@pojntfx it doesnt help that it’s overhyped. opus 4.6 is genuinely useful in a way these tools weren’t a year ago.
but listening to the hype you’d think 4.6 came out a year ago.
it also doesn’t help that most people are not being exposed to frontier models

after 8 years of working at GitHub i finally had reason to learn how git works; i guess in all this time i’ve only been working on the Hub parts
anyways git it turns out is pretty cool and straight forward.

@myles this is so emblematic of this era; pure magic that it works but it’s all for the wrong solutions

@olivia my observation here is, charitably, the gay guys aren’t *trying* to push out women; their goal is to be near the other men
they are i think definitely *careless* — they don’t care that they’re pushing me away and that i find them repellant.
and it’s just made me think of other ways in which these dynamics are replicated, among men writ large, in systematic ways. have a nice day!

@olivia (bear with me here) at queer dance parties i’ve been to, gay guys like to dance near other gay guys, and once a critical mass forms they exert a gravitational pull that draws in more gay guys like a horny black hole
but in trying to be near men in the process they push out the women, who don’t tend to like to rub up against each other in quite the same way
so women often end up relegated to the back of the dancefloor, to say nothing how there’s fewer of us at events in general

@olivia cryptogyny is an interesting word! is there a similarly pithy name for the process of pushing women out?
you mention great man theorizing, whereby popular retellings obscure or reattribute contributions to the target of the story; i had an experience this weekend that made me think of other emergent behaviour…

tbh so far it’s made it kind of fun: to find a book first i have to remember *what it looks like*.
just yesterday i went: hrmmm where is that copy of “a short history of trans misogyny”? it was sort of yellow brownish— aha!

i too held this view until we hung out at our friend Britt’s house; Britt is the coolest most fashionable person we know
and she’s published three books, and
looking at her bookshelf i thought: if sorting your books by colour is good enough for Britt by god it’s good enough for me

After the recent Rubygems drama, I felt anxious, and trapped, frustrated that I can’t escape evil people trying to dominate my life.
I found myself grieving, and mourning the future I grew up thinking we would have; but also feeling hope, that it’s not too late to stop enabling these people, and start choosing kindness.
