  • I failed my hirevue (I got a 40%) but my recruiter talked to the company and my previous manager gave a glowing recommendation so I got the job. I allegedly did a good job on the hirevue by all humans involved. Fuck this AI shit. The only way I got this job was because of humans, the ai did everything it could prevent the company from getting their preferred candidate. If the job market wasn’t so fucked and I haven’t been unemployed for 5 months in the past two years I’d give this company the bird and tell them to fuck off too, but I don’t have health insurance and my bank account is drained.




  • I did not have as many times as I wanted. I had one chance per question, no re takes. What’s fucking hilarious is my reference was more important than the fucking screener. I got fired by a company for budget concerns supposedly but not on bad terms and this company contracts with them and apparently the hiring manager called my former engineering manager and I got a good word so to the top I went. Fucking hate the stain of AI.












  • I only care about copyright while it exists. If copyright is abolished and there’s no such thing as intellectual property then I’m happy with that as well.

    No one should have the right of using police with guns to maintain the ownership of ideas and our culture. I don’t want this power. I don’t want you to have this power over my neighbors. I don’t want the Disney corporation having this power over my friends and family. But if capitalists wield that power against the common man, then I’m not against the common man wielding it against the capitalist.

    I’m okay with using copyright against only those that have more power than me. I don’t ever want to threaten a normal human being with it, only capitalists.

    I’m not against all cases of generative ai, code or visual. I’ve had legit use cases for them, and in a post scarce world we wouldn’t care about these things being made in a completely floss way. If copyright were to last only 15 years after publication then I think the world would be much better and we wouldn’t be having this conversation. But I won’t argue ai stuff as it currently stands—it is a grift or a stockpiling.


  • I’m a software engineer and I have been playing guitar nearly every day since I was 8 years old. I release everything GPL/AGPL or CC-BY-SA that I own and can. Heck, I am racking every day trying to figure out ideas that can hopefully make me a living while also giving everything I have away. I don’t want to own my shit man, I just want to share what I have and hope it’s useful, and I don’t want people being assholes so I opt for the copyleft instead of liberal licenses.


  • You are fighting a losing battle. I understand why you think that, but the organization that owns the trademarks of open source do not agree with you (or me). I also disagree with that organization’s definition of open source AI, but they own the legal right to define the meaning of “open source” in the technology trade, the trade in which they own the trade mark. But laws are laws and you either abide by them (as a corp, what are you gonna do?) or don’t (fuck yeah, commit crimes).

    Weights are the only thing you’ll get from “open source” ai. You need to look for stricter legal definitions to meet your understandable criteria.
