Everything wrong with tech in 2023 (in no particular order)

1. The obsession with short-term profits severely undermines long-term positive impact.

2. The lack of diversity among founders and investors propagates harmful exclusion.

3. The prevalence of poor work-life balance and burnout culture is inhumane and unsustainable.

4. Too many products optimized for addiction show callous disregard for user well-being.

…And more.

Whoever at Apple designed how to recharge the mouse deserves a pay rise! Now I have a reason to stop work.

isn’t “facts.” It isn’t “truth.”

It’s a dynamic process in which we’re always testing hypotheses & learning more about our world.

@historleans today my heart breaks for the hope of humanity. I’m sorry my vote was insufficient.

As an immigrant I knew that racism is an issue in Australia but I tried to be hopeful that people would do the right thing. I’m so disappointed this evening that racism won out. I’m saddened at how prevalent it is. Sure the lies amplified by the media didn’t help. But I’d hoped that compassionate smart people would be in the majority. The Voice didn’t go far enough but it might have been a start to ensuring that First Nation people had some input. For shame Australia. 😞

Is the #VoiceToParliament perfect? Hell no.

Is the Voice to Parliament better than what we have now. Yes, ABSOLUTELY.

Will we get an alternative or something better if it fails. NO. NOT FOR AT LEAST 50 YEARS, IF THAT SOON. #Referendum2023 #VoteYesToVoice

THe choices are:

a) Take what you can get NOW, and open the door for more later. or

b) Get NOTHING FOREVER.

Happy #solstice
This photo was a 6 month exposure from my back yard, It shows the tracks of sunlight from one solstice to the next.

A very long exposure photo showing the paths the sun took across the sky.
The photo is blue, and white, and has light bloom everywhere and looks other-worldly.

Reposting with alt. text 😌

A screenshot of a job advert from OpenAI, for a "Killswitch Engineer" with a salary in the range of "$300,000-$500,000 per year".

About the Role

Listen, we just need someone to stand by the servers all day and unplug them if this thing turns on us. You'll receive extensive training on "the code word" which we will shout if GPT goes off the deep end and starts overthrowing countries.

We expect you to:

Be patient.
Know how to unplug things. Bonus points if you can throw a bucket of water on the servers, too. Just in case.
Be excited about OpenAl's approach to research.
