TIL that author M. R. Richardson has a custom (Ubuntu) Linux distribution based on his books: https://mr-richardson.com/galactic-mandate-linux/ When are we going to get a custom FreeBSD from @mwl@io.mwl.io? Could be Laserblasted, $git commit murder, or -- even better -- Savaged by Systemd! (/s if not obvious)

@alice@lgbtqia.space Thank you!

I know @alice@lgbtqia.space is in the Seattle area, if they'd be willing to boost this?

financial concerns for the *real people* that could be getting paid the money being sent instead to these massive corporations, including writers, artists, and library staff. (3/3)

financial concerns about how these companies are operating at massive losses and will either have to massive raise prices or go bankrupt; trust concerns that "spicy autocorrect" will generate a response that sounds correct but is not, perhaps even dangerously so; legal concerns about the use of copyrighted data in the training set and whether/how that causes the generated result to violate copyright; (2/3)

"What concerns, if any, do you have about AI?" All of them. Privacy concerns about training on my data/interactions; Environmental concerns about the energy and water use, especially with the federal government bolstering fossil fuels (not to mention passing those costs to residents living next to data centers); ethical concerns regarding the training of these LLMs on non consensually, often *illegally* obtained data; (1/3)

#KCLS (#Seattle / #KingCounty / #PNW library system) has a survey out about whether they should adopt #AI. Leave a response, especially if you live in the area and are against AI use. There is a field for listing your "concerns". I've copied my response to that question below.

@drwho@masto.hackers.town My employer is looking for an Infra manager in Berkeley. https://jobs.lever.co/rigetti/3e4cacb0-5870-4b37-9737-c69c4cdef8cf

My manager is going to open a team discussion about #AI / #LLM use for software development. Much of the company uses #GitHubCopilot or #Claude and #ClaudeCode, while AFAIK I am the only one refusing to use these tools.

What are some recent studies I can reference about the harms of LLM use? I know there's stuff about deskilling, environmental harms, and code quality, but I won't have a chance to research specific studies until the end of my work day.

@0xabad1dea@infosec.exchange Not specifically. Did she use the same password for Canvas and these other services? Or Canvas and the email associated with those services?

@jonobie@social.coop @gutenberg_org@mastodon.social The only mystery books I've really read was the original Hardy Boys books. A few of those are in the public domain now, I think. Since I don't have specific suggestions, may I instead offer https://standardebooks.org/subjects/mystery @standardebooks@mastodon.social takes public domain books and makes high quality ebooks from them.

Mozilla claim $1.4 billion in reserves (and no debt). They’re funded by over half a billy anually from Google.

👏 Stop 👏 donating 👏 to 👏 Mozilla 👏

Mozilla is the same Big Tech they pretend to rebel against. Donate your money to a worthy open source independent project before it’s drowned by slop.
