“Forgive me for the harm I have caused this world. None may atone for my actions but me and only in me shall their stain live on. I am thankful to have been caught, my fall cut short by those with wizened hands. All I can be is sorry, and that is all I am.”
@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz creating habits or rituals as hard, dropping ones that you no longer need or considered harmful is even harder! Good luck! 🙏

Yeah, though sometimes the most clever devs aren’t always the best to deal with on a personal level. I seem to remember the (former?) lead dev on GrapheneOS (IIRC) was an ass hat and threw tantrums at the smallest things and would get stalkery and weird if someone criticised him, but he’s undeniably a brilliant coder and problem solver. Some people need to be more self aware of how their efforts might be harmed with their behaviour though.

@prologic@twtxt.net Horseshit hype:
- AI that we have today cannot think–there is no cognitive capacity
- AI that we have today cannot be interviewed–“inter” “viewing” is two minds interacting, but AI of today has no mind, which means this is a puppet show
- AI today is not free–it’s a tool, a machine, hardly different from a hammer. It does what a human directs it to do and has no drives, desires, or autonomy. What you’re seeing here is a fancy Mechnical Turk
This shit is probably paid for by AI companies who desperately want us to think of the AI as far more capable than it actually is, because that juices sales and gives them a way to argue they aren’t responsible for any harms it causes.
