@davidrevoy
>Russell's teapot
Ooh, ça pouvait être une référence au film du guide du voyageur galactique aussi.@mangeurdenuage A zut, j'ai pas vue le film (mais lu tous les livres), j'imagine que c'est aussi une ref des concept-artist à la théière de Russel.

@davidrevoy Can we have the "Muteo" spell in real life please? 🥺

@davidrevoy what a nice reference! This feels SO Discworldy to me. Terry Pratchet would be proud!
is it mentioned in the Pepper&Carrot comics or is it a background oddity there as well?
I thought I read all of P&C comics. But that unfalsifyable teapot slipped my mind 😁
@NeroBurner Thank you for reading them! And oh yes, Terry Pratchett influence is strong on my work
The master. (Douglas Adams too). The teapot moon appeared the first time on panel 1 of the episode 4 in 2014 https://www.peppercarrot.com/en/webcomic/ep04_Stroke-of-genius.html , and can be seen after here and there (ep30 from the top of my mind).

@davidrevoy A la place d'une chaussure type snickers comme dans le livre, qu'on peut voir dans la série de la BBC, ils ont prit une théières anglaise pour le film. -

@voxel @davidrevoy I once said "well tell me again when it's the present." The conversation has then shifted away from AI, miraculously.

@davidrevoy , thank you! That was excellent.
Also, thank you as always for using #altText4Everybody.

@vampirdaddy @davidrevoy latine est "tace!" (vel "tacete!" pro pluribus)
@mirabilos
tacere, silere: quid est differentia?[edit, added]
Gut feeling:
tacere is more like not-speaking,
silere more like not making any sound?But then again my last serious brush with latin was over 30 years ago.

Nice spell 🤣 -

@davidrevoy It was probably difficult to resist casting “power word: sap” on the guy.

@davidrevoy I wonder if you could make one about the recent hardware price hikes.
Something like magic ingredients getting more expensive because they are all bought up by whoever makes these birds. 🤷♂️
@fell @davidrevoy Well, the amphora certainly has had a lot of books and arcane material dumped into it…

@davidrevoy please please please make it so that the maker of the Avian Intelligence runs away with a huge pot of gold after his giant cauldron explodes and an angry mob chases him for swindling everyone.
That would be the perfect ending to this arc.

@davidrevoy I need that for the "leadership" in my work meetings.

@davidrevoy Or perhaps it would be more appropriate if the parrots started talking gibberish and the giant AI pot had all its books turned into a giant letter soup that can't be fixed. That would make it a two-part comic 😅

@yuki2501 🙂 Lots of good ideas here, thank you for sharing, I'm taking notes!

Oh, also, I have skin in the game. I'm not just randomly dismissing the ethical concerns, I'm right in the middle of them.
A book I wrote was among those pirated by Anthropic. I'm getting ~$1500 (and my publisher is getting the other ~$1500) from the settlement. And, since I have a bunch of code in Open Source projects spanning decades, I'm sure my code is also in the training data for all of them.
I'm not ecstatic about it. But, it's where we are and I don't imagine I can do much about it.

- I can't ignore the environmental cost or the cost to our democracy, but I don't see a way out of it. Me being out of work isn't going to stop it.
- Also, it's fun. Sorry, it is. It's not programming, anymore, it's managing...but, it's management with near instant gratification. I can do experiments I've wanted to try, but never had the time or energy for and toss the failures. I can launch a smallish project in a weekend that would have taken a month of weekends before.fin...probably.

Torino, 20 febbraio: Guerra civile in Messico. Sulla cosiddetta “guerra al narcotraffico”
@anarchia
Riceviamo e diffondiamo: Il primo di una serie di incontri internazionalisti Venerdì 20 febbraio, ore 18, Radio Blackout, via Cecchi 21/A Guerra civile in Messico. La cosiddetta «guerra al narcotraffico», le operazioni di polizia interna e internazionale:

- It sucks to have a significant portion of the folks I look up to in tech absolutely trashing folks who're using AI. I understand that sentiment, I was trash-talking AI and its users until a few months ago (and I am still repulsed by AI prose, imagery, and video...it's nauseating). But, most of those folks don't have to worry about money...they were millionaires in their 30s by being in the right place at the right time with the right skills. I wasn't in the right place.

- I'm pretty sure the option to say "no" is rapidly fleeing for everyone making a living in tech. It's too powerful a tool for a tech-related business to opt out of...they'll be killed by companies that spend the $100/month on Claude or whatever.
- And, I mean, it's not all bad. Part of my "OK, let me give this an honest try" experiments led to me knocking out a half dozen projects on my todo list. Some of it was finishing projects over a weekend that I'd been tinkering with for months.

- It's difficult for me to say I "like" it. It smooths out the creativity of what I've always thought of as at least partly an art. Even while I can see my productivity skyrocket when using it.
- It is even more difficult for me to say, "no, I won't use it". I spent the first 25 years of my tech career living on sub-poverty wages trying to make a living in Open Source software and my own businesses. I am aging without notable savings. I need health insurance and a good salary to catch up.

Speaking of AI. We're in a tight spot. "We", as in, tech workers, I mean.
A bunch of things are true and they all pull in different directions.
- It works. I'm not really willing to entertain the argument that it doesn't, anymore, after having built several large and small projects with it. For coding, it is a lever that can provide a dramatic productivity increase. I'm comfortable saying 3x+, overall. Maximalists are saying 10x or 100x. Even if it's only 3x, that's industry shaking.

This video is amazing...so amazing, I am skeptical. This is unbelievable dexterity for a robot. There have been huge leaps in the past couple decades, true, but this feels like it's too far, and out of nowhere.
But, there's another technology where China is kicking ass: Generative AI video, especially motion capture/application.
I assume there must be human witnesses, so it seems like word would get out at some point if it were fake, maybe I'm just overly skeptical.
