Apparently some of our AI Safety cult "friends" are planning a protest in London on 28th of February.

Is it going to be something worth critically supporting instead of the usual criti-hype? Possible, but not likely.

The AI Safety movement is finally changing by ~~Sillyconversations~~ Siliconversations.

Who?

I used to be a quantum scientist and now I'm a YouTuber. My parents are thrilled.

Oh, okay.

Also curious that they're not protesting Anthropic on the thumbnail. A cynic would say they're giving them free pass because they say the right shibboleths.

Oh I get it now. I thought there's some backstory that either Nathan Baschez or Simon Willison lied about having a CS degree.

You have a level of faith in humanity that is completely unwarranted.

Wait, wait, wait. I didn't realize this before. Who the F needs to lie about not having a CS degree? Being a code monkey is (or at least used to be) something, where you can get away with not having a degree.

I unfortunately do understand. I think there are severe tradeoffs between living a good life and living a virtuous life. Most people usually compromise to lesser or greater degree and find ways to cope with that. Nihilism is one way.

I think I understand it. Think of an alcoholic that's trying every sort of miracle hangover "cure" instead of drinking less.

Two thoughts:

That this is not just some random AI generated graphic, but from official Microsoft tutorial is unpleasantly unsurprising.

I think the tinm (timn ?) axis goes the wrong way.

Regret? I dunno, a rat being harassed by a clanker seems fitting.

Groan, you don't need to finish high school to learn about false dichotomy.

I'm curious though how much vibe coding and AI mandates are responsible for the latest disaster of a patch. Or if they are all just results of disfunctional company culture.
