Brazilians recommending not to amplify right-wing talking points by dunking and quoting, as a winning strategy Next day, my tl is full of people dunking on rfk jr I literally would not have seen the bigotry if it wasn't for y'all repeating it. That's exactly what the Brazilians were on about!

Last night's Hamilton elections result publishing malfunction was the result of screw-ups by the City of Hamilton's "award winning" IT. Instead of preparing for election night, City's top managers was focused on modifying HSR computers to shut down automated bus cancellation alerts #HamOnt #yhmcc

The City of Hamilton's "award-winning" IT teams have achieved the top priority of the HSR. The HSR has disabled the automatic GTFS real-time data alerts for missing buses. Real-time data analysis I just ran shows buses missing on Routes 20 and 43 -- the same daily cancellations as past months

There are at least 5 full-time managers whose job is maintaining and updating the City of Hamilton website and comms. Between them and the "award-winning" City Manager's Office: They did not create a special banner, graphic, or promotion banner for municipal election day! #yhmvote #HamOnt

Quit a line cook job at a bar because I was 18 and they thought I could handle soloing a whole kitchen despite having maybe 3 months prior experience. Used to smoke two cigarettes at a time while skateboarding home from there 🛹

As someone who begrudgingly finds themselves in this space.. Yeah this charter says nothing! This is not how you challenge the perspective of folks against AI in all its’ forms.

No framework on how to establish this, no carbon footprint offsetting, no distinctive line on its use for media (images, video, etc) versus workflow automation (a backend system handing a task to another system).. And most egregiously, no prioritization of local hosting.

I think a lot of people’s perspectives on AI would skew more positively if local, in-house hardware and models were being presented. This just reads as “we’ll try Chat and let ya know how it goes!!”

I did read the charter and it is so vague. The section discussing the actual practices prescribed amount to “we’ll take a look at the use case and will let you know if it’s ethical or not.”

This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead

What an insane lineup for a great cause.

I've forever been a holdout saying "I won't buy Universe Beyond and there's no crossover that would ever get me to buy in" but then I remembered the Beatles, and—while I'm no superfan—the idea that I could turn Ringo sideways and send him into combat against an enemy beast has this undeniable allure

What I know from speaking to people in the building, this would not happen. BUT if you get this player survey you should still tell them Absolutely No!

Just a heads up, if you’re getting regularly smiled at by babies and greeted warmly by dogs you are carrying a fragment of the sacred light within you and must guard it closely
