LLMs are a problem
“Now it’s LLMs. If you think these crawlers respect robots.txt then you are several assumptions of good faith removed from reality. These bots crawl everything they can find, robots.txt be damned, including expensive endpoints like git blame, every page of every git log, and every commit in every rep…”
“Please stop legitimizing LLMs or AI image generators or GitHub Copilot or any of this garbage. I am begging you to stop using them, stop talking about them, stop making new ones, just stop. If blasting CO2 into the air and ruining all of our freshwater and traumatizing cheap laborers and making every sysadmin you know miserable and ripping off code and books and art at scale and ruining our fucking democracy isn’t enough for you to leave this shit alone, what is?”
Awful People
Trump has given permission for all of the secretly despicable people in America to be who they truly are. There are an awful lot of them, but not nearly as many as we who believe in the Constitution and the rule of law. We will win, but getting there is going to be painful.
Progressively moving right
Since 1980 I’ve watched as Democrats have addressed their unpopularity by moving progressively (pun intended) further and further to the right. Caving on passing the current dirty continuing resolution to fund the government will give a green light from Congress to let Trump to do all of the horrible things he is–and plans on–doing.
Maybe we need a good hard fight to protect the things we care about. Democrats should stop what they hope will get them re-elected, and should focus instead on aggressively supporting progressive policies that the majority of Americans support. Democratic legislators: stop surrendering in advance!
Chuck Schumer thinks we’re still operating under the old rules. He is giving the Trump/Musk team two years of nearly unfettered power to destroy the US Government. I think we need to put age limits on who can serve in the House and Senate.
‘Musk said DOGE’s work was like running a corporation, comparing the effort to his work downsizing Twitter. Musk purchased the social media platform, now known as X, for $44 billion in 2022. He boasted about reducing the company’s staff by 80 percent, while at the same time, advancing the “functionalities and capabilities” of the platform.’
Read the article on Politico Proof positive that (f)elon is suffering the delusion that he understands the intricacies of government. Ignorant and dangerous.
