As promised, here are the slides I shared with students to convince them to NOT use chatGPT and other artificial stupidity. TL;DR? AI is evil, unsustainable and stupid, and I'd much rather they use their own brains, make their own mistakes, and actually learn something. 🪄

How real folks outside our tech bubble use the web: 😮 Some have connection speeds as low as 20 Mbps 😮 Most use the same modem for 5-10 years 😮 Avg person replaces their computer every 5.6 years 😮 11% use browser versions that are up to 5 years old www.speedcurve.com/blog/six-thi... #webperf #ux

Ah I see the UK gov tech grifting community is popping up on LinkedIn to offer some "whatever you think of Musk he is a high agency individual who gets things done" commentary. Folks: don't let the light in for technofascism. There are no winners if we do that.

Another reminder for those who still seem to have not understood: Chat programs do not “look up” information and then repeat it. They write plausible language in answer to a prompt based on their data set. References will use real people, journals & words from titles, but will not truly exist.

I’m worried about this. I use many of these phrases naturally in speaking AND writing and have been since I was a kid submitting essays in school. AI is trained on HUMAN-created words & writing styles, NOT the other way around. Don’t assume these formal phrases are AI. 👇🏽

This kind of "only I can be a genius, and genius is innate and the property of only a few and also only I can evaluate and identify who is a genius btw" characterizes multiple things that people studying tech cultures (including me) have been saying for a long time. This is it operating at scale

I dunno if it's "good times" that does that so much as it's a complete failure to educate people in the functioning of and inherent connections between both infrastructure and civic responsibility that does that. Like, that happens in "bad times" too. It's why they stay bad for however long they do.

As a software eng, it is inherently satisfying to see an open approach beat close approaches in an innovative field. Linux is open: Windows is closed Llama, Deepseek, Mistral are open: OpenAI, Gemini, Anthropic& many others others closed Closed approaches winning almost always lead to monopolies.

No one is USING AI. They are TRAINING AI. No LLM is ready to be fully deployed. It's all early beta testing they are trying to convince you is actually a product. It is nowhere near its target goals for its intended uses. People aren't paying to use it; they're subsidizing its training. It's a scam.

Understanding that all tech is flawed is one thing but it is actively against standards of engineering to release systems to the public that cannot reasonably be debugged or fixed or explained. If any one needs to ask for forgiveness it's the engineers. And they won't be forgiven.

Having worked with now three large Rails monolithic applications (1M+ LoC) I've developed a few thoughts on what I think Rails is lacking at a first class, and would be curious what others think. (continued, though I should probably make this a blog post later)

The amazing part isn’t just the wrong answer, but that the explanation it gives is accurate — and it simply doesn’t know that 27 is a smaller number than 32. Billions of dollars spent to make a black box machine that doesn’t know something elementary school kids know.

So I'm going to Yes and this. The thing is that "AI" is not a thing, it's a field of activity that includes a whole load of different uses and applications from the pointless to the breakthrough. Saying "AI can or cannot be used for x" is like saying, "Chemistry can or cannot be used for x."

Cannot stop thinking about how Octavia Butler wrote a book in 1993 about climate change. It opens with deadly fires in LA in 2025. In the story, a fascist President has just won office with the campaign slogan "Make America Great Again." She was a modern day Nostradamus. If only we'd listened.

Please go watch any video interviewing a professional mix or recording engineer and you will so quickly realize that every record you have ever loved was made by people who were utterly unconcerned with shortcuts or hacks or sometimes honestly even doing things that make any goddamned sense.
