@BlakeHamiltonCA @deathbydenim On this point, I'll disagree - to a point.

Data centres are necessary. We need legislation requiring them to be built sustainably; green power, and the other points you mention.

LLM/AIs are being sold as end-all for solving every problem, which is completely untrue. They largely answer "what would an answer to this question look like" on a word by word basis, which is why they are so frequently wrong. This is a two or three beer discussion as my dad would say.🖖🏻

@BlakeHamiltonCA Apology happily accepted. We all make mistakes, and the important part is that we own up to and learn from them. Nicely done. 🖖🏻

@alan @webhat 💯 That's a short path to making notifications useless. 🤣

@alan @webhat 💯 This.

@webhat Some very much do; especially the influencer-types who don't understand why they can't manipulate the algorithm here. 🤣

@webhat I've seen a few posts like this too - I try to be helpful about how things work here, but so many just want to use this like Twitter of old.

Pursuant to a recent conversation here, I'd like to share something I say to all the new hires I work with in my #FestivalLife department:

I want people smart (and comfortable) enough to say to me "I don't know/understand" when I ask them a question.

It's unreasonable to expect anyone to know everything about a job when they start - or when they start a new project they haven't done before.

@deathbydenim @BlakeHamiltonCA RIGHT?

We need to stop and reverse climate change … uses tools that are horrible for the climate … 🤦🏻👿

@BlakeHamiltonCA That image is obviously AI generated and anyone should have caught all the problems with it. For water to be that high on Wellington, the Ottawa river would have had to have flooded 80-ish metres high,a disaster that would affect the entire Ottawa Valley. Why didn't you use one of the *many* photos of the *actual* flooding rather than slop one up? Is the article also AI generated?

One thing I've noticed by people who use apps to crosspost to a bunch of services; most of them don't seem to actively participate *here*, they're just like/boost-farming.

Do you *enjoy* having that type of user in your feed?

@sebastianhahn That's one of the things; you don't catch up on missed sleep. That's not how it works. It's why I bug you constantly about more sleep. 🖖🏻
