Ethan Mollick makes a good point on BlueSky:
I understand the fear and anger. But also:
1) It is connected to the belief that AI is fake and going to vanish, which means that critics who should be helping shape AI use through policy and collective work are sitting it out
2) Lumping all AI criticism/talk into us vs. "tech bros" doesn't help

I had made an appointment with the car repair place, but I needed to cancel it. So I called there, and an AI answered. Transcript from memory.
AI: "How can I help you?"
Me: "I need to cancel my appointment on Thursday."
AI: "Sure, what is your name and the exact date of your appointment?"
Me: "Vrandečić. That's V-R-A—"
AI: "Thank you. Your appointment has been cancelled. Can I help you otherwise?"

“It rained heavily last night.
Our clothes, blankets, mattresses, everything got soaked.
We were freezing… truly freezing.
Living in a tent has become unbearable… feels like a disaster every day.
We try to protect ourselves from the rain, but we still end up sitting in water inside the tent.
We are a family of seven and the tent can’t hold us but we keep trying.
We keep holding on.
Please, we need your help to move somewhere safer.”

If your business or life is centered on that app, take steps now to change that.

What we're seeing with #theforkiverse has worked before and can work again. Community leaders have proven they can build communities in places like discord and it would be super cool if there were clear reasons for them to choose fediverse platforms.

Hmm, starting to play with ESP-32; I've got the rust toolchain going; my first attempt at flashing I think worked, but it was with a bare image that didn't do much; my 2nd attempt ahem...it doesn't enumerate on USB any more, and wiring up the GPIO 0 doesn't seem to help. I can see on power on that the real-serial outputs an ID string, so time to wire that up and hope the tools can unfuck it.

This post made me think about another post in my timeline. It mentioned the "liberation of Germany from the Nazi regime" 80 years ago. This is how it's usually worded in 🇩🇪 up to this day but that phrasing sucks. It makes it sound like Germans were poor oppressed people and who just needed a bit of outside help to topple their government. Words matter though. Germans weren't being liberated. Germany was getting defeated (fortunately).

Apparently ICE abducted parents and just left their young kids just sitting there alone, unassisted and unattended — in not one but •two• separate incidents in the Twin Cities in the last few days.
In one case, they left school-age kids alone in the house after a pre-dawn raid. In another, they snatched a father driving his kids home and just left the kids there in the car.
In both cases, the kids are OK — but only because strangers came along to help.
I said 'no' to something! And I did it quick, which ought to help the organizers find someone else.
