It’s debatable whether this license is truly open source. I wouldn’t say I particularly go out of my way to be pedantic about it, but somebody might.

It too is beautiful in my soul today.

These thoughts are way too deep for a silly meme thread, but I’m here for it! 🫡

Agreed. While plenty of people have been covering energy use by technology for many years as well as the many dangers of social media and other online services…the fact is Gen AI simply takes everything that was already questionable and doubles it…quadruples it… Yes, not everything in tech is bad! And the stuff that was bad before does not excuse what’s frighteningly worse now.

“So what” …the defining ethos of the slop bros who don’t mind when technology is built on the back of stolen content and ecosystem collapse.

Not one single mention in this entire article about how the onus of safety has to be on drivers and on the car-oriented infrastructure of the community. Not a single mention about how to improve safety for pedestrians and micromobility users across the board.

This kind of reporting is criminal. But OK sure, it’s not the car-brained people who are out of touch, it’s the children who are wrong.

Maybe this is too technical still, but Eleventy is a pretty cool project that can publish markdown.

Aww, those poor multi-ton metal leviathans are frightened by the scary human-sized two-wheelers. 😢

OpenAi isn’t open source. 🤔

Ah yes, NeoNaziOS. We definitely want that to go mainstream.

(seriously, if you don’t know who DHH is please do some research…his HEY World blog + X account is rife with stuff that’ll make the hair on the back of your neck stand on end. 😬)

Very cool idea! Just starred on Codeberg.

Would you pay for the extra plus features if the source code were also made available?

These are the hardest working people in the business right now. They are entitled to making a decent living and the least folks can do is sign up for a free account. 😅

Hey now, The Matrix Resurrections finally redeems aspects of The Matrix Revolutions. Progress! 😅

I don’t know, I’d stay clear of this one. The author seems to be all about LLM-all-the-things and it’s possible this was largely vibe-coded. I use Lightroom (non-Classic) because it’ll sync instantly between Mac, iPhone, & iPad. I’d love to use a FOSS solution if it were available, but this doesn’t seem to be the answer.

I found The Minimalist one amusing and a bit relevant, but otherwise I didn’t resonate with any of them. I feel like I’d fall under The Artisan : I’m a hippie type you’d expect to see in a Portlandia episode (and lol, I actually live in Portland), and my goal is to hand-craft every line of code and offer it up as an organic, farm-to-table morsel of supernutritional bliss with excellent mouthfeel.

“Not infuriating, not enraging. Mildly Infuriating. All posts should reflect that.”

Read the sign. 🙃

I loved Perfect Days, one of the most visually compelling indie films I’ve ever had the pleasure of seeing.

Old and busted: accidentally install malware on Windows.
New hotness: now Windows itself is malware!

Technically, LLMs as used in Generative AI fall under the umbrella term “machine learning”…except that until recently machine learning was mostly known for “the good stuff” you’re referring to (finding patterns in massive datasets, classifying data entries like images, machine vision, etc.). So I feel like continuing to use the term ML for the good stuff helps steer the conversation away from what is clearly awful about genAI.
