Perfect for wearing at tech conferences (like #AWS re:Invent, #Azure Ignite, #Google Cloud Next, etc.).

@hiker @foosel AI isn't really a single thing, it's a term that gets used as a handy bucket for a while bunch of things.

Some of it is actually worthwhile and likely to benefit humankind for a long time. For some of it, I think the case is as yet unproven. And some of it has really been driven by hype in various ways and is likely to disappear when the funding is no longer coming from investors betting the farm on stuff they don't understand, and no-one else wants to pay the real cost.

Significant changes often happen like this. How the world looks when it all settles down is likely to depend on the high-water mark reached before that, and that high-water mark will depend on how effectively people push back now.

Meanwhile pigeons navigate by magnetic fields, recognize human faces years later, and passed the mirror test, all without a single line of code. Nature figured out intelligence way before we did.

@foosel @craignicol So tempting, but I suspect it wouldn’t be popular during meetings here at the moment (as in employment limiting unpopular….)

[foosel@chaos.social]

@kktk LOL. I've never in my life ordered from Shein, Temu etc, rarely buy new clothes or shoes, and when I do wear them until they either fall apart or simply don't fit anymore, but sure, attack a total stranger you know absolutely fuck all about for getting a special T-shirt.

@foosel soundcloud? Am I missing something?

@thirstybear @foosel @craignicol

Wel then fuck ‘em, when did developers start to grovel? Web agencies used to allow devs to choose which OS and editor they used, now we’re all supposed to beg and lick clanker ass all day.

[krafty@metalhead.club]

@foosel I love this and had to buy one immediately!

[mycotropic@beige.party]

@magnetic_tape @foosel

They do ship to the US though! Yay!

[mycotropic@beige.party]

@foosel

I'll wearing mine to university Regents meetings as well as during lectures!

[morgan@sfba.social]

@foosel I have emboughten one, thanks.

[apostateenglishman@mastodon.world]

@lucien @foosel No, the public have it forced down their throats without consent, lack the technical skill to disable it, and are unaware there are open-source alternatives. A captive audience isn't the same as a willing one.
