    <link>https://jackmaguire.org/blog/ai-job-grief/</link>
    <dc:creator>bignose</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[This essay makes three claims. AI-driven displacement is producing a distinct emotional category that most closely resembles grief, distinct from ordinary fear, anxiety, or burnout. That grief is structurally suppressed, because layoffs are framed as routine business decisions that leave no socially sanctioned room for mourning. And the standard grief model itself breaks down in the AI case, in a specific way that makes recovery harder than it was in previous industrial transitions.]]></description>

    <dc:creator>bignose</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Getting game developers to talk about gen AI is not always easy. In the process of interviewing over 30 devs on the subject, many people refused to speak to me or requested anonymity. I wanted a thorough examination of the tech, and kept core questions to just three: How do you feel about gen AI in games and in game development? Do you want to use it? And how do you want it to be treated in the games industry?

Perhaps pro-AI developers didn't want to talk to me or I just didn't run into any during my survey, because I heard an overwhelmingly negative assessment of generative AI's origins, capabilities, and risks. By the end, I'd heard dozens of developers make a case against using gen AI at all.]]></description>

Agents cannot program, and it’s taking longer and longer to realize that they can’t. They are a highly sophisticated statistical model designed to mimic the distribution of programming. The output is broken, but in a way that’s getting harder and harder to detect. Which is exactly what you’d expect from an increasingly accurate statistical model.]]></description>

This of course brings up that perennial philosophical question: so what?

You can’t have it both ways; a business can’t automate a job that was formerly a person with authority to make deals like this and then decide that no, what this machine says while operating as an agent of the dealership cannot be taken as actual, binding interactions with the dealership, like what the human agents they replaced did. How the hell is a customer supposed to know that? And if the AI will say things that aren’t actually what the dealership intends to do, then what’s the point of the damn AI?]]></description>

Data centres, the global infrastructure powering AI, could consume 945 terawatt-hours of electricity annually by 2030 – nearly triple the combined annual electricity use of Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Nigeria, countries collectively home to more than 650 million people. 

However, this is just the tip of the iceberg. On top of the carbon footprint, every unit of electricity used by data centres also carries a “water footprint” for cooling and energy production, and a “land footprint” associated with power generation and supply chains. ]]></description>

    <title>To Gen or Not To Gen: The Ethical Use of Generative AI</title>

    <dc:creator>bignose</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Like any technology, GenAI has two sides. The great promises are offset by numerous disadvantages: immense energy consumption, mountains of electronic waste, the proliferation of misinformation on the internet and the dubious handling of intellectual property are just a few of the many negative aspects. Ethically responsible behaviour requires us to look at all the advantages, disadvantages and collateral damages of a technology before we use it or recommend its use to others.

In this article, we examine both sides and eventually arrive at our personal and naturally subjective answer to whether and how GenAI can be used in an ethical manner.]]></description>

    <dc:creator>bignose</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[The point is: let the agent do the boring stuff, the stuff that won't teach you anything new, or try out different things you'd otherwise not have time for. Then you evaluate what it came up with, take the ideas that are actually reasonable and correct, and finalize the implementation. Yes, sure, you can also use an agent for that final step.

And I would like to suggest that slowing the fuck down is the way to go. Give yourself time to think about what you're actually building and why. Give yourself an opportunity to say, fuck no, we don't need this. Set yourself limits on how much code you let the clanker generate per day, in line with your ability to actually review the code.]]></description>

    <dc:creator>bignose</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Generative AI can produce work that looks expert without being expert, and the failure arrives in two shapes. The first is when novices in a field are able to produce work that resembles what their seniors produce, faster or more advanced than their judgment. The second is when people generate artifacts in disciplines they were never trained in. The two failures look similar from a distance and are not the same. Research has mostly measured the first. The second is what it is missing, and in my experience it is the riskier of the two.]]></description>

Unlike individuals, who must earn or borrow money before they can spend, a government with currency sovereignty creates money as it spends, meaning it can always meet its financial obligations. This theory has significant implications for how Canadians understand public debt and deficit spending.]]></description>

Yes, I'm upset I never got a corner office, but I'm too busy panicking because I have no idea what I'm doing, nobody does, and the wheels just came off. The CEO says AI is making his buddy Jared's team so productive he was able to fire half of them, but like, as a brag, not a threat? I dunno, I felt threatened, but that's probably just my anxiety flaring up. Surely I can borrow a xanax from one of the several employees crying in the bathroom.

AI didn't take our jobs. Greed did. Same greed that moved factories to Bangladesh and keeps slaves in cobalt mines in the Congo, wearing a new mask.]]></description>

These features create a kind of superglue on the apps, says cultural anthropologist Natasha Dow Schüll at New York University, who has pioneered research in this field. "They keep us spending more time on these apps and spending more money. They drain us of our energy and ourselves." Understanding these features offers parents a rubric for evaluating how harmful an app or device may be for kids, Schüll says.]]></description>

Our conclusions provide practical implications on at least two levels. First, on the societal level, our considerations lead us to recognise the problem that Floridi (2020) refers to as “semantic pareidolia”: an interaction with some types of AI systems has become so similar to an interaction with conscious humans that people began to see consciousness and intentionality instead of merely (very complicated) algorithms.

Second, our conclusions have implications for legal debates. The rejection of AI consciousness makes it clear in discussions on AI regulation that the regulation is not (and will not be for at least several years) meant to protect “artificial but ethical entities”, but rather to address practical issues that arise from the complexity and potentially powerful effect of these technologies.]]></description>

My experiences, while enlightening as to models' capabilities, have not altered my belief that they cause more harm than good. And yet, I have no plan on how to destroy generative AI. I don't think this is a technology we can put back in the box. It may not take the same form a year from now; it may not be as ubiquitous or as celebrated, but it will remain.

And in the realm of software development, its presence fundamentally changes the nature of the trade. We must learn how to exist in a world where some will choose to use these tools, whether responsibly or not. Is it possible to distinguish one from the other? Is it possible to renounce all code not written by human hands? And if it were, is that reasonable?]]></description>

"From the large language model perspective, people aren't really addressing the fallibility of the underlying text," said Deeks.

Deeks argues that if you built an AI system from first principles, it would look drastically different from what's offered today. All the talk about the disappearance of software engineering and office work, he said, "we don't subscribe to any of that."

He also contends that companies don't want to believe that either. "For the most part, they don't want to believe that everyone's going to be fired and there's not going to be anyone underneath them, particularly in the technology or information organizations inside these institutions," he said.]]></description>

“For me, opting out is not the end goal — it’s the means to the end,” she said. “And the way I see it is, you force a conversation. It gives permission to other parents to even just start asking questions.”]]></description>

Any switch comes with an attrition rate, meaning the destination better be worth the cost in headcount.

For this reason, and for another project, I've been deeply researching Discord alternatives for the better part of a year. Some of my colleagues may think me a bit obsessed about the importance of a "chat app," but I'm convinced that the communication mechanism for online communities is critical to their success. Choosing a new one could be the a matter of life and death for the community. This is a decision we have to get right the first time.

Finally, in July of 1979, all the pieces were in place. After a successful July 2 dry run with a sawdust mock burrito, the tunnel ceremoniously opened on Independence Day. The inaugural burrito (carnitas with lettuce, salsa and avocado, no beans) was loaded into the breech at the Alameda terminus at 10:05 AM and was served to a beaming Cavanaugh, Vice President Walter Mondale and New York mayor Ed Koch in Weehawken 64 minutes later. Two hundred burritos followed that same day; by the end of the decade the tunnel would be delivering over two thousand burritos an hour.]]></description>

So as of January 2026, this is not entirely obvious. Maybe the above will seem obvious in a few years, or maybe this will be an embarrassing thing to read back.

There may be an obvious way to resist this development, but I don't see it. If you keep using Stack Overflow, that data will be ingested for training by LLMs. Any kind of strategy based on openly sharing information will maintain the asymmetrical advantage enjoyed by the big corporate players.

But not sharing information in the open will increase their advantage even more. It will handicap programmers who forego LLMs. It will handicap people who build open source LLMs. All while increasing numbers of people pay for the privilege of increasing these private data hoards.]]></description>

    <dc:creator>bignose</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[A letter South Australian Premier Peter Malinauskas sent to the Adelaide Festival board has shed new light on how he sought to have Palestinian Australian author Randa Abdel-Fattah dropped from Adelaide Writers' Week.

He said continuing to host Abdel-Fattah was "likely to provoke division, disunity and hateful debate at a time when our nation desperately needs to strive for inclusion and tolerance".

In a recent statement, Abdel-Fattah said the premier had suggested that she was a "terrorist sympathiser" and "directly linked to the Bondi atrocity […] This was a vicious personal assault on me, a private citizen, by the highest public official in South Australia," she said. "It was defamatory and it terrified me".

A concerns notice is a mandatory step before defamation proceedings can begin. It requires the person alleged to have defamed another to be formally notified of the imputations complained of and provides a 28-day window in which they can make amends, including by apology, correction or retraction.

Malinauskas has so far not retracted his statements or apologised to Abdel-Fattah.]]></description>

If we can hand-off any JavaScript functionality to native HTML or CSS, then users can download less stuff, and the remaining JavaScript can pay attention to more important tasks that HTML and CSS still can’t handle.]]></description>

    <dc:creator>bignose</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Most CAPTCHA systems today are built around surveillance: tracking users, fingerprinting browsers, and collecting data in exchange for access. Cap rejects that model.

Cap is designed around a few core ideas:

* Privacy by default: no trackers, no third-party requests, no hidden profiling.
* Simplicity over complexity: no image labeling, no click-the-fire-hydrant puzzles.
* Speed matters: fast to render, fast to solve, fast to validate.
* User-first: designed to be unintrusive and accessible, with invisible and floating modes.
* Self-hostable, not centralized: you control the infra, tokens, and behavior.

By using proof-of-work instead of user behavior analysis, Cap shifts the burden from identity to computation. That means anyone can prove they're human without cookies, accounts, or friction.

Cap is what a CAPTCHA should've been all along: simple, honest, and yours.]]></description>

For one, they manufacture ideas with assembly-line efficiency: their blog posts, podcasts, and Substacks arrive with the subtlety of freight trains. And their “hot takes,” despite vulgar packaging, are often grounded in distinct philosophical traditions. Thus, what appears as intellectual fast food – the ultra-processed thought-nuggets deep fried in venture capital – often conceals wholesome ingredients sourced from a gourmet pantry of quite some sophistication.]]></description>

A dozen AI raters, workers who check an AI’s responses for accuracy and groundedness, told the Guardian that, after becoming aware of the way chatbots and image generators function and just how wrong their output can be, they have begun urging their friends and family not to use generative AI at all – or at least trying to educate their loved ones on using it cautiously.

One worker, an AI rater with Google who evaluates the responses generated by Google Search’s AI Overviews, said that she tries to use AI as sparingly as possible, if at all. The company’s approach to AI-generated responses to questions of health, in particular, gave her pause, she said, requesting anonymity for fear of professional reprisal. She said she observed her colleagues evaluating AI-generated responses to medical matters uncritically and was tasked with evaluating such questions herself, despite a lack of medical training.]]></description>

We live better lives when the people around us have empathy. Of course, people can exploit that empathy. It happens all the time. But human literacy doesn’t mean you have to be a sucker. It makes you better, actually, at identifying the politicians and the CEOs and the money they’re slipping into their pockets with their words.]]></description>

Indian Creek called it “extortion.” The standoff culminated in a shady, underhanded legislative maneuver only a consortium of tax-dodging billionaires could come up with: Indian Creek went to the Florida statehouse, and, with the help of Republican lawmakers sympathetic to the plight of the common underprivileged billionaire, slipped a rider into a transportation bill that would force Surfside to accept the pipeline with zero payout.]]></description>

“Piracy is not a pricing issue,” Gabe Newell, the co-founder of Valve, the company behind the world’s largest PC gaming platform, Steam, observed in 2011. “It’s a service issue.” Today, the crisis in streaming makes this clearer than ever. With titles scattered, prices on the rise, and bitrates throttled depending on your browser, it is little wonder some viewers are raising the jolly roger again. Studios carve out fiefdoms, build walls and levy tolls for those who wish to visit. The result is artificial scarcity in a digital world that promised abundance.]]></description>

Unknowingly prisoners of their own egotism, they feel insecure, lonely, and deprived of the naive, simple, and unsophisticated enjoyment of life. Man can find meaning in life, short and perilous as it is, only through devoting himself to society.

The economic anarchy of capitalist society as it exists today is, in my opinion, the real source of the evil. We see before us a huge community of producers the members of which are unceasingly striving to deprive each other of the fruits of their collective labor — not by force, but on the whole in faithful compliance with legally established rules.]]></description>

We view this result as a snapshot of early-2025 AI capabilities in one relevant setting; as these systems continue to rapidly evolve, we plan on continuing to use this methodology to help estimate AI acceleration from AI R&D automation.]]></description>
