I'm a French native speaker. Some non-French co-workers have insisted I must not know the language properly as I was pointing out absolutely horrendous translation mistakes done by an LLM on a product, saying it should be infallible.

The amount of rage this discussion induced was off the charts.

(spoilers)

Episode 2 was 100% "ChatGPT"-style, with the hive mind more than eager to please, and to try and cosplay into a little kid, but also blurting out gynecological facts when asked.

We realized this mid-watch and it hit us like a freight train. The rest makes total sense after that.

A quote from the 12th Doctor, saying "Never be cruel, never be cowardly... Remember: hate is always foolish, love is always wise. Always try to be nice, but never fail to be kind."

I love how @sonicinternet.bsky.social claims that my house is covered, especially with AT&T fiber already present, and some neighbors already subscribed with them, and that they are "Planning" my request for connection since March.

Doesn't really bode well for their actual service...

Ugh. Let's hope this is just a mistake from @bsky.app's moderation team, and not a genuine ban.

Pretty wild that the second most popular labeler can just go poof in an instant tho. Not sure this bode well for this platform.

"I don't care that he's dead."
"He's not a hero."
"He's a scumbag."
"He shouldn't be celebrated."

No, no. I'm not saying that about Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk said that about George Floyd.

Just in case anyone's interested in what he thought was fair to say about someone who was killed on camera.

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue approaches Green, who is reading something on his phone with keen interest.
Blue: So, what did you find out?

Green turns away from his phone screen to look at Blue.
Green: Did you know that some whales' blow holes are shaped just like any other mammals' nostrils?
Blue: I meant about when that store opens.

Green turns back to his phone, as Blue looks at him, speechless.
Green: Right! I forgot to look it up!

Donc la France "exprime sa vive Γ©motion" pour la mort d'un sac Γ  merde nazi qui appelait Γ  lapider les homosexuels et faisait l'apologie de l'esclavage, qui rΓ©clamait que les les hommes soient propriΓ©taires des femmes et que les exΓ©cutions capitales soient diffusΓ©es en direct dans les Γ©coles.

How do I know? I'm an immigrant myself. I had to work with my employer years ago to craft a job listing that was matching my profile perfectly, but also, formulating it in a way that it's asking for too much, so they could reject candidates on the spot.

I couldn't have become an immigrant otherwise

Tech companies accused of bending H-1B rules with newspaper job listings Positions meant to be advertised widely still appear to target immigrants, based on recent listings obtained by Newsweek.

Not trying to excuse it or anything, far from it, but the government also has a part to play in ghost jobs. Due to the law on immigration, job-sponsored green card and H1B visas need to prove no American could do the job instead, and so they have to open job listings for this reason.

The best anti-AI post I've seen in a while is bsky.app/profile/ques...

It perfectly describes what AI agents will never be able to replace: silliness and quirks. Our urge to just go derp sometimes. That's what makes us unique. That's what makes us irreplicable and irreplaceable.
