No Tools for You: A Century of Men Policing Women’s Tools

[evgandr@mastodon.bsd.cafe]

@deathkitten Check @adafruit blog, there are a lot of articles about using #LLM in electronics "design". If they are going to adopt LLMs, then there are no surprise that they are trying to whitewash it as much as possible , using all available methods.

When I was learning electronics at university, drawing such simple electronic schemas and footprints was a key to be able to do much more complex things with EDA. Outsourcing this mental work to Plagiarized Information Synthesis System is a literally: "you will learn nothing and be happy"

@adafruit 😬 yikes

@simonzerafa @magic_smoke Their prices will rise up too. I monitor used hardware prices and saw how used DDR5 memory prices in my region already became higher. The same will happen with HDDs too, I think.

@adafruit I will never, ever, buy a product of yours ever again.

[linza@kamu.social]

@feld @magic_smoke @adafruit none of this makes the status quo acceptable

[feld@friedcheese.us]

@Linza @magic_smoke @adafruit what do you propose the solution is, some kind of "government controls the entire market for fairness"? That doesn't scale, has never worked in the history of mankind. It's just supply and demand. The market will balance this out in time, price discovery is working as it's supposed to.

@feld @magic_smoke @adafruit nice straw man you got there, did you need me for this conversation?

[linza@kamu.social]

@feld @magic_smoke @adafruit Have fun collapsing the biosphere with your neoliberal shit I guess lol

[feld@friedcheese.us]

@Linza @magic_smoke @adafruit I think we've quickly established that your input is not needed in any conversation on this topic

[linza@kamu.social]

@feld@friedcheese.us @magic_smoke @adafruit bless your heart

@adafruit I don't hate your shit because you are a woman. I just hate "AI" shit.
And suggesting anything else just because it fits into your pretty theory is just dishonest and disgusting.

"Oh no, someone criticised the tools I used! Must be because they are men!"
Disregarding somebody's opinion based solely on their (perceived) gender is actually sexist, you know?

[feld@friedcheese.us]

@Linza @magic_smoke @adafruit "the government is killing us in the streets for exercising our rights, but we should give the government even more power over our lives" is one hell of a platform

[katlovecat@mk.absturztau.be]

@mrs_malice@mastodon.world @adafruit@fosstodon.org are you meaning me

[fishidwardrobe@social.tchncs.de]

@Kuniti_shino @sefr @adafruit @jpaskaruk @kwayk42 i mean, why not? anything *could* be a parallel universe. if you can't get to it (and no, an *author* wrote the actual book) then it doesn't count?

[katlovecat@mk.absturztau.be]

@adafruit@fosstodon.org btw you (Adafruit) deserve the hate that you got from the people on the fediverse

[jwz@mastodon.social]

@deathkitten It's like the "everything I hate is woke" meme but now criticizing "AI" is sexism. It really does cook your brain.

[deathkitten@firetribe.org]

@jwz@mastodon.social even better, I just saw a boost about how the owner will fucking dox people in they criticize the company after having previously donated.

The levels of disgusting here is a shit parfait.

[gulfie@mastodonapp.uk]

@adafruit yet another bad take. You’re really doubling down on this, huh? PS it’s all about the AI and only about the AI, speaking as, erm, a “Mastodon dude”. Read the room.

A disappointed ex-customer.

[magic_smoke@blahaj.zone]

@feld@friedcheese.us @adafruit@fosstodon.org @Linza@kamu.social abolish private (not personal) property, turn companies into employee owned co-ops.

The vast majority of people who actually know what their doing have no want or need for generative AI. Make them the decision makers.

Take the decision making power from the overgrown children we call billionaires, and the dipshit stooges they put in management positions.

Better yet, take them and puttem' in fucking guillotines. The (US) government is this way because it was invented by slave owners, and since been bought out by vultures.

@magic_smoke @Linza @adafruit

> abolish private property

literally one of the founding principals of this country is the concept of private property. You know, so kings can't just take our shit whenever they want. We'd have to repeal the Fifth Amendment

edit: also really messes with stuff like Castle Doctrine if the government can just be like "well yeah the ICE goons broke into your house without a warrant, but we decided it wasn't your property anymore, so you're guilty of murder"

edit2: and even "well I know forcing you to house our death squads is against the Third Amendment, but we decided it's not your property anymore"
