Claude ranks second under “contributors”.

At least they’re consistent in their exploitation.

The psychological drive behind the urge to call something with a derogatory term is the same in both cases.

Meh. I find that the rhetorical urge to reduce a dichotomy to absurdly general commonalities is the pseudointellectual’s version of a slur.

Except here you’re not dehumanizing as much as working against anthropomorphization.

This seems very much like a “How do you do, fellow humans” moment, yes.

I’m pretty sure Fedora the Pokémon wears a Pikachu in the movie adaptation, so close enough 🤣

If anybody cashes the bounty, I hope they donate it to civil rights movements and antifa ✊

“But accessibility!” is the only humane face “AI” boosters can come up with to defend the clankers. Except they don’t realise it’s more like the scene in Silence of the lambs where Hannibal is wearing a guard’s face like a mask.

Yeah, sorry to be the bringer of terrible news. If these people aren’t actual accelerationists, they put on one hell of a convincing cosplay.

Did you know about Yudkowski’s Harry Potter fanfic that apparently doubles as the sex cult “rationalist” movement’s onboarding material?

Yeah yeah, let’s skip to the part where Yudkowsky (the “AI guru who Sam Altman thinks deserves a Nobel prize”) dropped out of eighth grade and is now running a sex cult 🙄

All of those TESCREAL loonies need a hard wedgie before they are permanently cut off from our attention.

F-droid has no problem with “AI” whatsoever. That goes for vibe coded apps as well as ones where the “AI” is a front facing function. Me, I’d prefer it was considered an anti-feature.

Then, you can still find several regularly updated cryptocurrency apps on F-droid, too, so the maintainers must have a sweet tooth for idiot grifts 🤷

Fair, I did not remember that slogan.

Why forego a repo URL in favour of a download link? The repo at https://gitlab.com/gee.8ruhs/writteninc has no development files, no version tracking, no licenses…

That, and the obvious LLM reference in the name, makes this whole project a big no-go for me.

On the surface, this sounded like a nice project to connect people in a real world network and exchange tools or services. Pity that the entire readme is a wall of generated word salad, apparently aimed at other bots rather than flesh and blood developers.

I’d be interested in a network like the one outlined here, developed and maintained by actual people, just not whatever this is…

I think it is, why else would the video be so insistent it isn’t?

It most certainly is not, it comes with all sorts of strings attached and guilt by association. See also “no such thing as a free lunch”.

Good on them. Taking money from the alt right is like the one bad apple that spoils the whole barrel.

He appeals to the worst in some very influential people, basically “Get in the car losers, we’re going Naziing”. And all these rich people just happen to have a deep seated urge to go Naziing that societal ethics hasn’t allowed them to explore before, so they just give him all their money.

That, and in a quid pro quo for their investment they’ll obviously expect DHH to be even more of a Nazi than he has previously been. There, that’s his “masterclass”. Still impressed?

Fault? I’d say you dodged a bullet by not getting that job.
