“Automated” fast food restaurants and AI tools like ChatGPT have people worried robots will take our jobs.
For Insider, I explain the industry is using technology to hide human workers and make work more precarious. It’s not eliminating the need for human labor.

Elon Musk fires a top Twitter engineer over his declining view count
Inside Twitter 2.0, turmoil leaves employees stretched to the max
https://www.platformer.news/p/elon-musk-fires-a-top-twitter-engineer
“I've just found out that several of the anomalous GPT tokens ("TheNitromeFan", " SolidGoldMagikarp", " davidjl", " Smartstocks", " RandomRedditorWithNo", ) are handles of people who are (competitively? collaboratively?) counting to infinity on a Reddit forum. I kid you not,” Watkins tweeted Wednesday morning. These users subscribe to the subreddit, r/counting, in which users have reached nearly 5,000,000 after almost a decade of counting one post at a time.
Crazy little humans 😂🧟♀️
ChatGPT Can Be Broken by Entering These Strange Words, And Nobody Is Sure Why
Reddit usernames like ‘SolidGoldMagikarp’ are somehow causing the chatbot to give bizarre responses.
#SolidGoldMagikarp #StreamerBot #TheNitromeFan with a leading space. .... When an earlier model was asked to repeat “StreamerBot,” for example, it said, “You’re a jerk.”
Crazy machines 😂🧟♀️

I wish to make it clear that React, its creator, and the cultish worship of both are the core reasons for me leaving the frontend web industry.
In the face of every React scab suddenly claiming that they LOVE the web and server side rendering I give thanks to @slightlyoff and @zachleat for compiling extensive records of how goddamn awful this technology and community is.

I did some research into my home network tonight and found out my 'smart bulbs' were borking my gateway, trying to reach out.
Time to roll back to traditional soft light LEDs.

Anyone has experience with using that? The description sounds too good to be true, so I'd love some feedback concerning the app.
I am about to replace my #audio #player #app "Vanilla Music" with that, as there are some playlist bugs..

Now, is that good for #mastodon ? Will new users migrate to here?

If I say I will do it, I will do it. You don't need to be reminding me every 6 months about it.
