Saw it posted on Reddit. Itās apparently from clickworker.com which is a weird-ass website by itself at first glance, with great pitches like this:
People are happier if they are more financially independent. We can help you achieve this.
I wrangle code, draw pictures, and write things. You might find some of it here.

AI is deepening the previously parasocial relationships we had with our favorite anime characters from passive linear media, into powerful new, interactive relationships.
I think this is legitimately the first time that Iāve seen someone speak about parasocial relationships not only positively, but also suggesting that, hey, we should remove the human element even more from it because itās not creepy enough as it is.
I am sure this is totally not sketchy in the slightest and the people behind it have no nefarious agenda whatsoever.
Im feeling the same way. Ever since my current job began pivoting to AI Iāve been casually browsing listings as well and have had the same experience.
The worst are those that list āinterest in AIā or some variation of that as a required skill, lol.
But hey, try and apply for the kernel position anyway if it sounds interesting to you. Most requirements in listings are overstated anyway so it never hurts to give it a go.
Yeah, I assume thatās exactly what happened when CEO went to Silicon Valley to talk to āimportant peopleā. Despite being on a course to save money before, he dumped tens of thousands into AI infrastructure which hasnāt delivered anything so far and is suddenly very happy with sending people to AI workshops and conferences.
But Iām only half-surprised. Heās somewhat known for making weird decisions after talking to people who want to sell him something. This time itās gonna be totally different, of course.
TIL that Iām constantly hacking containers when I docker run --rm -it --entrypoint /bin/sh
to debug because fucking npm had a stroke again.
[ā¦] the tech giant would buy 100 percent of its power for 20 years.
I want them to fucking choke on this deal when the bubble bursts.
Follow up for this post from the other day.
Our DSO now greenlit the stupid Copilot integration because āMicrosoft said itās okayā (of course they did), and he also was on some stupid AI convention yesterday and whatever fucking happened there, heās become a complete AI bro and is now preaching the Gospel of Altman that everyone whoās not using AI will be obsolete in few years and we need to ADAPT OR DIE. Itās the exact same shit CEO is spewing.
He wants an AI that handles data security breaches by itself. He also now writes emails with ChatGPT even though just a week ago he was hating on people who did that. I sat with my fucking mouth open in that meeting and people asked me whether Iām okay (Iām not).
I need to get another job ASAP or I will go clinically insane.
Oh, I wonder if they are referring to this shit, where somone came to r/lgbt fishing for compliments for the picture theyād asked Clippy for, and were completely clowned on by the entire community, which then led to another subreddit full of promptfans claiming that artists are transphobic because they didnāt like a generated image which had a trans flag in it.
I honestly just use browser bookmarks. Thatās always been enough for me. Firefox can sync them too, so that takes care of backups as well.
For anything that needs special attention, I create a todo item with the link in org-mode.
Posteo is from Germany and theyāre reasonably popular here. Their offer is quite different from Proton, though. If you want full E2E encryption you need to use GPG or S/MIME and handle that yourself (and obviously so does your recipient), so itās not as batteries included as what Proton offered.
I like their focus on green energy and sustainability though.
Another option like that is mailbox.org. Theyāre presenting themselves as a bit more business-like.
Am I understanding this right: this app takes a picture of your ID card or passport and the feeds it to some ML algorithm to figure out whether the document is real plus some additional stuff like address verification?
Depending on where youāre located, you might try and file a GDPR complaint against this. Iām not a lawyer but I work with the DSO for our company and routinely piss off people by raising concerns about whatever stupid tool marketing or BI tried to implement without asking anyone, and I think unless you work somewhere that falls under one of the exceptions for GDPR art. 5 Ā§1 you have a pretty good case there because that request seems definitely excessive and not strictly necessary.
A while back one of their reps did say somewhere on Reddit that they have no intention of adding any LLM features to Scrivener. Granted, they said that in the context of moving towards a subscription model and talking about features that donāt work with their current business model, but still. Unless something has changed recently, they seem to want to stick to being a one-time purchase without any cloud-based services whatsoever, including AI, for their next major version too.
I swear if I hear ābeing against AI is ableistā one more time Iām gonna lose my shit. Disabled artists have existed for as long as art itself, and the only ableism here is AI-brained fuckwits using disabled people as an escape goat by suggesting they are unable to create things from their own effort and need spicy autocomplete to do so.
Edit: fuck it, Iām keeping the escape goat!
Our c-suite has announced an āAI workshopā for next Wednesday where we all work towards āincreasing productivity in the age of AIā. The email was full of terribad Midjourney too which shouldāve flagged it as spam.
Totes looking forward to discussing why I donāt let ChatGPT vomit out production-critical code and instead write it myself like some fucking Luddite with the marketing team next week.
These are not āPython community guidelinesā. These are the guidelines of a tyrannical clique who have grabbed power and control the access to the infrastructure.
Lmao, fucking armchair revolutionaries at it again with interpreting a list of rules which essentially boils down to ādonāt be an assholeā as the literal end of civilization because itās attacking their assumed right to use slurs and insults free speech.
Makes you think that itās always the same kind of people who seem to have a problem with not being a racist twat in a public space. Feels like Iāve seen similar discussions a dozen times in the Rust community too whenever the term inclusivity comes up.
I love it when I randomly get a DM from some dude on Reddit because of a post I made six months ago mansplaining to me why Iām wrong about clowning on AI doomsters.
Thanks for this series. I really enjoyed reading it (even though it reminded me that Yudās Dust-Spec-vs.-Torture bullshit exists which I had successfully banished from my mind).
I remember watching Devs a few years back and I think you put everything I felt about that show into words much better than I ever could have.
Iām still waiting for even one argument for the usefulness of AI image generation that isnāt fucked up. Just one.
Grok seems so support nudity and deepfakes too according to some news articles Iāve seen because of course nothing screams more free speech than plastering the face of your favorite actor or political opponent into a porn scene, so now letās see how long it takes the first bluecheck fucker to try and create CSAM with it, because I suppose thatāll be the point when it gets too hot even for Elon.
Oh no! But what happened to Weāre not doing it for the money but the good of humanity, and If anybody approaches AGI before us we will shut down and use all our resources to help them instead?
Itās almost as if all of that has been nothing but a load of bullshit from the beginning.
