I say:

the most pressing issue is for the entire programming community to unite around our core values and objectives, and reject irresponsible and unsustainable usages of AI technology that only serve to advance fascism rather than the liberation we deserve.

#EgretsIveHadAFew

Vertical photo of a tall, slender, simultaneously odd and elegant white heron with a long, pointed yellow-gold bill and long, kinked black legs. The bird, a great egret, eir long neck curved like a backwards ess, is standing in left-facing profile on a fallen branch on the stunningly smooth, clear, blue, and willow-shaded surface of the shallows of a river's mouth, one quietly eldritch leg raised and displaying eir toes like the dark, damp roots of an unpotted plant. In the water, the egret's reflection gazes steadily ahead amidst the branches and reflections of willow leaves and banked grasses, the pale white reflection of the morning sun moving slowly towards em, carried by the broad, soft bolt of ripples upriver.

@tante @davidgerard To add a take:

Consciously or unconsciously, he understands that much of the AI industry needs the state with its unlimited money as the ultimate bag holder in this investment fraud scheme.

The public can now watch in real-time which industry players signal to Trump that they need him and his access to the money faucet more than their self respect.

That's why it will be newsworthy when companies are changing their language from AI to SI. It's an indicator of political alignment, financial distress, or both.

This time it's different. This time the leopards have appointed a group of representatives for you, and they are doing *a survey* about how to eat your faces as conscientiously as possible. Your feedback is important.

I cannot believe how absurdly stupid this all is. "...insatiable avidity for influence and a seat at the oligarchs’ table" [1] indeed.

Shiram Krishnamurthi (@shriramk@mastodon.social) With AI tools, I remained on the fence/skeptical until Dec 2025. There has been a genuine technological revolution since then. I wouldn't tell other profs what they should do. But I think it would be hopelessly irresponsible of me, given my areas of speciality, to not know or care. Sandor Spruit (@sandorspruit@mastodon.nl) @shriramk Could you describe the nature of that technological revolution? What has fundamentally changed? Shiram Krishnamurthi (@shriramk@mastodon.social) @sandorspruit Genuine question: have you tried using it

Friendly reminder that 'nice' and 'kind' are not the same thing.

Niceness is withholding information or opinions when they may be vital, to avoid 'rocking the boat'.

Kindness is telling your bestie when their 'friend' is saying fucked up shit about them behind their back.

One of the top threads on the ClaudeAI subreddit right now: "I am done with this shit" https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeAI/comments/1wm5c21/i%5Fam%5Fdone%5Fwith%5Fthis%5Fshit/

Curious to see just how much of the thread on a quite pro-genAI subreddit is people commiserating on the exhaustion of their work turning primarily into tedium and poor engineering.

Bonus in that the Claude AI summary bot in the thread says:

> The Rise of the Meat Proxy: You're not an engineer anymore, you're an "organic vessel designed to press enter." Or, as one user so poetically put it, you're just a condom between Claude and your production server getting fucked. Your only real job is to be the warm body they can blame when the AI slop inevitably breaks.
