RE: dair-community.social/@DAIR/11

Interested in working at DAIR? We're hiring a communications lead, who we needed yesterday. Is that you? Please apply. Is that people you know? Please share the job ad with them so that they apply.

💥💥💥 No "AI" generated applications please. We read every application. E.g. we read through nearly 600 internship applications a couple of years back. It's pretty easy to tell whether someone is blasting slop or truly spending the time to apply.

*** Fully funded. Thank you 💕 ***

[Pledged: $600/month of $600/month. Patrons: 17]

Let’s try something different: Looking for pledges to become patrons for one of our volunteers at Gaza Verified*, @aseelfromgz, so we can move her and her family out of living in a damp, unsafe tent and into an apartment.

Aseel’s family needs to pay $600/month rent if they’re to afford the apartment they’ve found. And I’d like them to not have to worry if they’re going to be homeless again next month if they can’t raise enough from the kindness of strangers every month.

So let’s try something new: If you’re willing and able to become a patron and pledge to donate a set amount so they can afford this apartment, please reply to this thread.

I’ll start us off: I pledge to become a regular patron and donate $50/month to help cover Aseel’s rent.

If 11 of you match my pledge, we can move Aseel and her family out of a tent and into the safety of a real home.

What do you say? :)

💕

Because I have very few spoons and need to jumpstart this research in some way, does anyone have resources about or experiences with LLM tooling in software development that is made with ethical datasets and designed with privacy, copyright, and security in mind?

As a follow up subquest I am also curious if any artist collectives have made their own image generators available (not for free, hopefully), or if there are any made with pure public domain images.

Links to articles or research or discussions are welcome, too.

Boosts appreciated!

Sometimes, you just gotta make something because you can 🪼

One of my first air-dry clay project was this Patrick Star for my bestie. As you can see, I put a lot of love into the 🍑 😌

Picture of a small handmade clay figurine of Patrick star from SpongeBob. His eyes are just two black dots, his mouth a simple line, giving him a very empty facial expression. He is set, fully nude, on a yellow and blue fabric background. Behind him is a stone on which little felt green shorts with purple flowers are set.A similar picture. This time Patrick is facing the camera and wearing his shorts.Another similar picture, Patrick is facing away from the camera. He is still wearing the shorts, but his crack is showing.Another back-facing picture. The shorts are back on the stone, the ass is showing.

well hello again, I would still really love to #getFediHired. US, remote work.

all the things I said previously (flipping.rocks/@inherentlee/11) are still true - I've got 7 years experience at Microsoft in cloud infrastructure (particularly containers and Kubernetes) and devOps; I'm in my zone teaching, communicating, and documenting; and I have a strong focus on accessibility and team culture.

I've also spent the last while, both a bit at Microsoft and then much more deeply since unemployment, doing web development with a focus on web accessibility. Personal websites, blogs, and hobby sites are my jam, whether starting fresh or helping with a redesign, and I'm happy to take on freelance projects. Reach out and we can talk scope, pricing, and design ideas.

You can view my resume on my website at leecat.art/resume/

Feeding time on the farm can be interesting. There are horses that think dinner is 3 hours late. There are horses that think all the food is theirs. And there are horses that want scratches with their dinner. It can be a truly dangerous time for humans.
