OK, this is incredible. Mad genius Mark Sample has created a web tool for exploring Subcutanean (my novel where each copy is unique) across every axis you can think of: source code, 25 diffed versions, VR projections(!), bubble viz(!!) & a lot more. (1/2)

I have but one feature request for Mastodon.

* If my post contains a link
* Disable the reply button
* Once the user has clicked the link
* Wait 60 seconds then
* Enable the reply button for them

(If you're about to tell me why this wouldn't work - you're *exactly* the sort of person this feature is aimed at.)

"We are not getting richer. We are spending down a natural inheritance accumulated over geological time, entering the draw-down in the growth column, and refusing to note the corresponding reduction in assets. The net position is deteriorating, and the growth figure is a fiction. Selling one's mother's saris and calling the proceeds a salary is a known indicator of household ruin; we are doing it at planetary scale and printing the receipts as quarterly results."

Please boycott JK Rowling. I do not have the health to listen to defenders of Potter on why they won't boycott. Take that somewhere else please.

For those boycotting, here are alternative worlds from authors who are supportive of marginalized people:

* Young Wizards series by Diane Duane
* Emelan series by Tamora Pierce
* Akata Witch series by Nnedi Okorafor
* Animorphs series by Katherine Applegate
* Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan
* Legendborn series by Tracy Deonn

I am begging everyone to be looking at your city councils right now. These are the people who say whether or not a corporation can come into your town and take all of your resources, pollute the environment, and kill the residents.

Cit Council members who hand your welfare and lives over to corporations should never have a moment of rest from the people. These are the people you can actually have an influence on, and these are elections you can actually get in on.

Interesting to see Copilot injecting ads into PR descriptions. Although there are a handful of older instances of this, if GitHub search is working properly, it looks like this started happening at scale around 10 days ago with more than 1k injections of this particular ad per day since then (if you search for other ad strings, you can find the rate of other ads)

What will they think of next?

@OmegaPolice @danluu

One might even suspect this "feature" was intentional: To get more acceptable PRs which were seemingly made with AI and thus confuse people whether they can recognize AI slop.

"Look, this is a perfectly good PR and it was made with AI".

i object to the whole "90s nostalgia is just cause you were a kid and unaware of how terrible everything was" because yeah, maybe

but in the 90s what nazis did was still very much living memory and people knew what you do to them. also technology actually was a source of life improvements and optimism instead of whatever the fuck this techno-fascist hype cycle bullshit we have now is

my home country the netherlands hadn't been hollowed out by decades of neoliberal bullshit

i could keep going

I love how I come across AI model vendors showing something like “Modelname 3B Reasoning, for Enterprise-grade reasoning" Yeah, buddy, that's the level of reasoning of most corporations when confronted with anything human. Not very good.

microsoft are so desperate to get copilot numbers up that vscode will now add copilot as a co-author by default

edit: it's already been reverted because people took it about as well as you might expect 😂

edit 2: it was an accident, definitely not a megacorp being evil. allegedly. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47991835

A Chinese court has ruled that companies cannot legally fire workers and replace them with AI.

After a Chinese company reassigned a worker to a role paying 40% less as their job had been automated by an LLM, the worker refused the demotion and was fired.

The worker sued and just won the case.
