Enjoy wasting time, because you are a human being.
No need to be productive, it's OK.
That is a rule of the culture.

@jasmine@chaosfem.tw @ciara@anarres.family Just as I thought, there's no such thing as good capitalism.

@Daojoan@mastodon.social How important it is not to expect special treatment, for anyone except a few young people from wealthy backgrounds.
There are a lot of real people in this fediverse.
That alone is something to be thankful for. There is value in people simply living and going about their lives.
I will absolutely never let AI agents run wild here!
Good evening, fediverse.
There's absolutely no way an LLM can generate original source code from scratch.
There's always a source. Let's find that first.

@Tutanota It would still be forgivable if we could freely use that 4GB scaled-down version of Gemini in a harness other than Chrome, but that's not the case.
Worse than Apple 👎.
It might be presumptuous for me, a cisgender man, to say this, but a society where transgender people can live peacefully in their transitioned gender is exactly the ideal future I envision.
That it will naturally become so over time is human progress.
Meeeeeeeoooooooooooooooowwwww!!!
Good morning.
I want to stay in bed all day.
I don't want to work on Monday.

@tshirtman @fvsch Using cloud LLMs like always-on, autonomous agents gets expensive. While they've gotten better at following instructions compared to before, you can't say they're cost-effective by any means.
And if you try to do the same thing with local LLMs, they demand 128GB or more of VRAM. Otherwise, they can't even use their full context window and just get stuck in a loop of small failures.
In short, it's just a toy for people with six-figure salaries.

Hello, everyone in the fediverse.
I've pulled myself together and am working hard on the job that only I can do.
Once property rights are denied, only human rights remain.
So many people quit in the spring.
No one is getting fired because of AI, yet they're leaving on their own.
I guess you could call it a fairly comfortable level of talent mobility?
Meow.
Maintaining AI-generated VBA code is a real pain.
Check this out. I really like this KDE weather app. It has a really stylish design, doesn't it?
My depression is really bad every day.
But that’s just my personality. I’m used to it by now.
Mark Zuckerberg and the portrait of Mozart look alike.
I think he benefits from his looks.
I spent about two hours messing around with Salesforce this afternoon. I didn't do any coding. I'm a fucking white-collar worker, so some days are just like that.
Because Japanese office workers are handymen.
It's taken for granted that we can write code.
Zero-trust security that gives AI admin privileges has governance as full of holes as Soviet bureaucracy. lol
Unlike electricity, natural gas, or water, we can live perfectly fine without LLMs, can't we?
They're just surplus value for our lives, not essential infrastructure by any means.
And yet, AI data centers destroy our living environments, waste our electricity and water, and even steal our jobs, which are our lifelines.
Furthermore, if those computational resources become the physical AI for security or military robots used to monitor ordinary citizens and suppress protests, which class of people exactly stands to benefit?
Something we don't need is taking away the things we do need.
It's completely backwards.
Replying to
@jonny@neuromatch.social Could that be OpenClaw's doing?
In any case, using AI tools means that any mistakes they make are entirely the user's fault.
There is no way I can shoulder the blame for OpenClaw's failures.
Sometimes I just don't want to get out of bed.
But fundamentally, I'm the type of person who goes crazy if I'm not working.
It feels almost like my basal metabolism.
Replying to
@matildalove@wetdry.world That way of thinking is absolutely sickening. We can't go along with them.
Lately, I've been having trouble because the PWA version of Kagi Translate isn't accepting Japanese input.

@matildalove@wetdry.world @BrianJopek@mastodon.world @revndm@queer.cool Well, that's probably to keep outsiders from barging into the assembly floor.
He's a member of the assembly, so he's not an outsider.
Mommy, I'm sleepy.

@davidho@mastodon.world I find myself wanting one of those sometimes, too.
Having a microSDXC card slot so you don't have to shell out extra for the base model is definitely one of the perks of Android devices.
It's so hot I have no energy, meow.
Meow.
Good evening, fedi folks.
I absolutely love exchanging greetings with everyone on Fedi for no reason!
I used to be bad at communicating and couldn't find any purpose in communication itself, but since moving to Fedi, I feel like my personality has changed.
The way ADHD traits manifest actually varies quite a bit depending on the environment.
If we're put in a bad environment, distractibility runs rampant, and if our health is poor, impulsivity increases.
My workplace is in a really bad state right now, so I'm forgetting tasks more frequently. However, I can't say that all of it is entirely my fault.
I am not a software engineer. I am an office worker in Tokyo, Japan.
I don't get paid enough to be called an engineer.
Mommy.
Meow!

@futurebird I suppose many elderly people must pass away after being struck directly in the head by hail.
At US Big Tech and the kind of top-tier global companies where folks on the fediverse work, AI agents are now taking over most of the coding jobs, and people are terrified, saying things like, "They just started mass layoffs over there, I'm next."
But as for what's happening to us at Japanese companies, young employees will jump ship immediately if their working conditions aren't good enough. We're constantly short-staffed. If anything, we actually want AI to spread as fast as possible.
Mommy.
