At home, absolutely.

Out and about, I ain’t sitting on that nasty seat, thank you very much.

No, but it constraining the labor market. AI is a hammer that employers are enthusiastically wielding to “discipline” labor, and to put developers “in their place” and accustomed to asking for and accepting less.

AI (and the threat of AI) is being used to end the days of developers enjoying high pay and strong market leverage. Investors and c-levels don’t care about the craft of software, they care about profit. Labor costs are an impediment to more profit.

If one senior level developer can be replaced with AI plus two or three entry level devs in India cranking out shit that barely works but still sells, at half the cost, then you know what will happen.

They do not care about you, your job, or your craft. You are seen as a tool in their designs, and you have had too much power for too long. They want to dispense with as many expensive, opinionated knowledge workers as quickly as possible. Even AI that half works is better than a competent but uppity expensive employee, from their POV.

Wow, I didn’t wake up this morning thinking I’d be recruited onto team “Fuck Almonds,” but here we are.

Let’s fucking go.

They made this bed for all of us. Time to sleep in it. We’ve got rice ‘n beans. We can grow potatoes and raise chickens.

If they feel the pain, they may change their ways. If they’re kid-gloved away from the consequences of their own choices, they most certainly will not.

And we don’t even use them effectively to protect our rights.

Do not obey in advance.

Humble men are preferable to proud boys.

I have fond memories of self-hosting a qmail setup for a long time, then eventually migrating to a postfix configuration, back in the day.

Keeping up with spam filtering finally did me in.

Yeah. He also said he’s “mad at Putin” this week as well.

In high school, I thought that this stuff couldn’t happen here, not anymore, at least not at such a scale, and I was amazed that it had happened at all in the first place.

Now I know better.

About goddamned time.

I’m a white middle class cis gender heterosexual person, and I don’t feel safe at all.

In this particular use case, no. The LLM not only transcribes, but it summarizes, drafts, and categorizes as well (ICD-10 codes, cross-referencing medical history, etc.).

Very useful for overworked and under-resourced healthcare workers.

Look, AI bolt-ons to existing software and processes often do suck. But this specific instance is a real positive use-case.

Every technology has a place where it’s useful - with LLMs, it’s just mostly been “let’s throw it at everything.” In most cases, it’ll fall away as useless, and a few cases, it’ll stick where it really adds value.

AI is a mixed bag, and a whole lot of hype.

But voice-to-text auto-generation of patient notes during dr visits will be a huge win for the medical profession. Data entry by doctors and nurses will be cut down 10x (just review what the software transcribed, make edits, and sign off).

Psychedelics have a counterintuitive tendency of making pre-existing clinical narcissism and sociopathy worse.

If we could somehow figure out how to cure Cluster B Personality Disorders, 90% of humanity’s problems would disappear overnight.
