The first ten minutes I spent on social media this morning made me feel all kinds of things. Why is it that people who routinely use LLMs are so loud and brash and proud, making these tools appear as essential and inevitable?
A post by a dev whose app I use said something along the lines of: "no use exercising your coding skills, AI is too good now, you can't compete with it anyway".
Another post by a user on an instance I try to engage with wrote - literally: "tired of overthinking every decision?" and then disclosed he had created an AI that will "run a weighted decision matrix so you don't have to." In all seriousness.
What is this dystopian world where human qualities are devalued, critical thinking is discarded and surveillance capitalism is ignored at the altar of AI worship?
If they are loud and proud, maybe so I can be too... but in the opposite direction.
This weekend I will start the MIT's Missing Semester class (the 2020 Lectures, so pre-AI) because in this brave new world hyping up techno-fascist LLMs, knowing the basics of code are essential IMHO.
So my March "project" will be a deep dive in MIT's Missing Semester and my April project will be off-grid mesh radio communication.
What about you, what are you doing to resist?
Special props to @emilymbender @cwebber and @tante for being outspoken on these issues... you're my beacons of hope

#NoAI@elena @emilymbender @cwebber @tante Immersing myself in livecoding culture, where despite using code to make music in the nerdiest way possible, most people seem to be heavily anti-AI and pro human interaction. It's bloody lovely! I happened to mention that I'll be in London next week and now a local group have organised a whole event on my free evening and 50 people (at current numbers) are going!

#NoAI@elena @emilymbender @cwebber @tante I have committed my team to pledging abstinence from all AI tools for at least a month to go against the tide at my employer

@theplaguedoc we routinely get sand from Sahara here and you can tell because the air turns yellow, but never seen it make rain red.

@oblomov Sand from the Sahara discolours the rain, apparently. At least, that's what they want us to think.

@theplaguedoc blood rain?

@paolabonacini @ju @Uilebheist ok ma gli elettori quanta coscienza ne hanno?

@ju ma quanto può funzionare? Poche sono le notizie in grado di oscurare quello che sta accadendo e la sua assenza è pesante. @Uilebheist

Today, I am doing a totally non-scientific, random poll of kids passing through the station.
The question: "What's your favourite train"The answers from the first hour are going to revolutionise the industry:
• "The Welsh one" (197)
• "I don't have one"
• "The one that's coming right now"
• "The ones in Nickelodeon Land"
• "That one with the blue door" (331)
• "The blue one"
• "185 x 2"
