I used the word "fresh" here just to mean "novel" as in "written more recently than the aipocalypse" but the more I look at it the more I am realizing that this is maybe a great word to use? There are two kinds of information, fresh and slop? Slop code is always somebody else's reheated nachos, even if you don't know where the nachos originally came from, whereas fresh code is original.

the difference here is that t-shirts can be made — pretty cheaply, even — by people who are not being abused. indeed, there are many efforts to improve things, some of which have even been effective. worker rights and efficient production are in tension, but do not need to be in conflict, particularly if the rest of the political system can work https://www.fairobserver.com/politics/worker-safety-in-bangladesh-tragedy-turned-into-triumph/

Also anti-AI followers I shouldn’t have to say this but in these trying times I believe I must: if you harass the author of this piece, even just to say something snide like “well what did you expect, using the lie machine, you deserved to feel bad” then I repudiate you and you will never see the light of heaven. Please do not be part of the problem.

“I poisoned my own mind.”

More and more programmers are writing retrospectives like this — and a huge THANK YOU to Elissa for doing so — where they discover that Programming Is Not Special.

It is particularly interesting to read this from a solo game developer who is both a programmer and an artist, who began by thinking the programing isn’t art, and discovered by an emotionally torturous process that it actually is.

I have never worried about the singularity because I had a single conversation in 2007 with a guy who worked in a chip fab, and learned just the tiniest bit about the physical, mechanical process that goes into actually manufacturing a microprocessor, and how much of it requires direct intervention of human hands despite everyone involved in the process having wanted to automate it all since 1980
