KI ist bald überall! Im Betriebssystem, im Browser – bald im Toaster? Endlich ein Algorithmus, der mir sagt, wann mein Brot knusprig genug ist! Währenddessen entscheiden Chatbots über Kredite, Jobs und vielleicht bald über meine Laune. Klingt super, oder? Diese absurde Ausbreitung geht mir gewaltig auf die Nerven.

How’s them vibes?

(Almost like it’s good to know what you’re doing when you do something.)

Dear Workgroup Facilitator,

It was exceedingly difficult to get four hours blocked out from meeting conflicts for two months straight so that this mandated activity would have my undivided attention.

In what world would anyone conceive that sending a reschedule notification to a different weekday and time into already scheduled meetings' times would be acceptable?

In what world would anyone conceive doing so four minutes prior to the scheduled start would be a good look?

Do better.

XOXO,
Me

Seven of the #RPG books I worked on were pirated by #Meta to train their #AI #Bullshit

Regardless as to my feelings on copyright, the IP owner did not consent to their inclusion in the dataset.

Meta's use is fundamentally immoral to the point that my own works will have an exclusion to their existing permissive licences to say "Fuck you and your idiot autocorrect"

See if they've pirated your work here: https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2025/03/search-libgen-data-set/682094/

I'm not watching #StephanieRuhl I'm watching #JonStewart on #TheDailyShow and Jon, I luvz ya but you got me cringing so hard at your mischaracterization of #ChuchSchumer fella.

Dems have ALWAYS said that shutting down the government hurts people, and now you think they should turn on a dime and take the traditional Republican position of shutting down the government every time you don't like something. #BULLSHIT

You were right about citing the gym bike that doesn't go anywhere to where the Dems are today, but you just drove 'em into the gym wall.

You know a debate about #LGBTQ topics is starting off great when the first claim is that same-sex marriage literally does not exist.

Ah yes, the perfect debate trick: When you ran out of arguments, just lie.

Everyone wants meaningful #estimations. Rarely are estimations meaningful. Estimations become more meaningful the further along the delivery one is. Early it’s a crapshoot and usually wrong. Estimations and fortune telling have more in common than you might expect.

So sure, we can do estimations. The questions are: when and with which level of information? How much confidence do you want in estimations? And let's ignore non-answers such as “as high as possible” because then the answer is that we do an estimation in the last week of delivery because that’s when confidence is the highest.

For me personally "meaningful" begins after technical planning. That is when the team sat down and actually planned out the work. It’s still _imagined work_ at that point - so dragons are still abundant - but it’s a good enough basis to give an educated guesstimate. Before that it’s reading tea leaves. Of course we can do it earlier but then the range (best vs worst case) will vary wildly. If that’s meaningful enough, great. If not, then that’s shit but nothing we can really do about it, unless someone on the team has a working crystal ball stashed away.

Estimations are one of these things were people love to confidently give wrong answers. It’s a self-perpetuating myth that’s largely done because it was always done and because it gives the illusion of control. Maybe that’s good enough? The illusion?

Nochmal public zum Thema #Atomkraft:
M.E. wollen die Christenparteien gar nicht ernsthaft zurück zu #AKWs. Sondern…

1. bei Menschen Ü55 #Nostalgie erzeugen (+Stimmen abgreifen) durch Anknüpfen an die Atompropaganda aus der Guten Alten Zeit prä-Tschernobyl

2. eine Ausrede für ihren #Unwillen zum Klimaschutz haben ("wir würden ja gerne, aber ohne Atom… tja")

3. sich maximal weit von der bösen linksgrünen Merkel-CDU absetzen.

Also. Nicht aufregen, nicht diskutieren. Ist alles nur #bullshit

“AI-Fueled Platform for News” aka “a bullshit rag.”

Somehow, MSFT Copilot has stowed away here aboard the good ship Muzuru.

How did this happen?

Oh, for fuck’s sake, it’s apparently not the only non-existent book the little shit is telling people I wrote.

PS. It’s “human rights”, you dimwit, not “user rights”.

This fucking Free Our Feeds bullshit is basically trying to do for Bluesky what Mozilla does for Google.

And guess what, there’s Mozilla’s executive director and president on as custodians alongside two guys from AI companies and the executive director of Meta partner Social Web Foundation.

I’m so bloody sick and tired of bloody Silicon Valley asshats sucking all the oxygen out of the room with their bullshit and I truly hope the folks roped into legitimising it realise this and distance themselves as quickly as possible (you know who you are).
