A media literacy moment.

I saw the original video. In it, the woman filming is telling her friend not to say anything, not to give the #ICE officers anything, and also telling the ICE officer who looks like Tom Steyer to back off and stop threatening to arrest her since she's not doing anything wrong. The ICE officers take her friend through a different door leading back to the tarmac and everyone panics because it's clear once she's through that door anything could happen to her. There's yelling and people at the gate are yelling at the fed agents.

This is where the news hides a key moment: a Southwest employee steps in and threatens the woman filming. He says if she doesn't stop yelling at the feds he won't let her on her flight.

The yelling widens: at the Southwest employee, at the feds.

Just as I'm planning to move residual devices away from SmartThings, I find out that they:

a.) have a web interface (!!!)[1]
b.) have an *advanced* version of that UI that does significantly more of what I want/need?

They could have blunted our full move to HA had they led with this: https://my.smartthings.com/advanced

Why in the world would the White House's mobile app need permissions or any kind of interaction with (or even reference to) the Chinese tech giant Huawei, whose products are banned from the United States for concerns about national security, espionage and intellectual property theft?

do you want to know how to prove something and be able to believe it?

you... come up with the proof and then formalise it, ensuring you correctly translate every minute detail.

and then you get a pile of people to check it just to be sure you didn't cock up.

i would also remind you that several times, people have claimed AI has proven the riemann hypothesis. and yet nobody yet accepts that the riemann hypothesis has been proven.

as they shouldn't.

making a program compile does not mean it's correct. any bozo can write hello world and claim it's a proof of the riemann hypothesis.

It is both hilarious and inevitable that the AI bros are kicking off about the #Codeberg membership voting by supermajority against #LLM contributions and vibe coding.

The social context of the modern "AI" movement is based around a fascist idea that "might means right", and that we plebs can't stand up to the force of the TESCREAL billionaire class. And some people really get on board with that, perhaps thinking that they can curry favour with the billionaires who don't even know they exist. So even as small and insignificant a resistance as a tiny German non-profit saying "no" is unconscionable to them.

This is why my inbox has been filled with screeds and rants and bad-faith arguments for the last few days and I've been laughing at them and deleting them.

I wonder if one of my personal resistances to using an LLM is that I have *never* in my life wanted to boss somebody around or micromanage how they go about doing things.[1] I want peer collaborators, not powerless underlings.

[1] Unless I'm training somebody, but even then, it's more like, "This is how we do things, and why, but you know we can change if you have ideas." But if it's about safety, I'm much more, "Do *not* fuck around here!" But that's because I care about you and do not want to see you get hurt.
