  I guess counter-culture #zines are now just an aesthetic for #GenerativeAI to regurgitate. https://stateless-zine.netlify.app/

  When even #Texas conservatives are against #AI data centers, we surely must be close to the end of the #AIBubble. https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/data-centers/texas-slams-on-the-breaks-for-1-800-data-centers-power-grid-requirements-are-five-times-higher-than-peak-record-demand-474-gigawatts-of-power-requests-are-now-subject-to-new-moratorium

  I submitted my session proposal for the #PNWDrupalSummit with hours to spare!

  Who the hell in the #Drupal community thought that it was a good idea that when a field is removed, any view that happened to reference it is automatically disabled? And not just a view display; the entire view.

  "I was just enthralled by it. The idea that you could actually type something into a machine and then it would respond by typing back something, and then you could have this interaction." Funny how talking to computers isn't a concept that was invented with LLMs. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/K2gFNfNejVU

  Yesterday, I found myself credulously reading the #GoogleAI search summary about how many gingko nuts you can eat before their neurotoxin will poison you, until I suddenly realized what I was doing and exclaimed "oh no". #GenerativeAI #UrbanForaging

  I'm glad I've reached the point of my career when completely unreasonable people are just a humorous nuisance instead of an existential threat to my continued employment.

  Wow, this is the worst #CookieBanner that I have ever seen. There is no simple reject button, and instead there is a button to pay them money to escape tracking. And if you do go into the settings, it says that for free access you need to consent to be tracked, and if you want to reject the trackers they have 193 services listed out individually! https://www.heise.de/

  I love how so many people are arguing about whether #AI companies should get a bailout when the #AIBubble hasn't even popped yet.

  Goddamnit, #Songkick has been bought by #Suno which seems to be a bullshit AI music generator, who seem like they would have no interest in tracking live music other than to sabotage it.

  Sigh, my timeline at a11y.social has not been updating since may, so I think it is finally time to move my #accessibility-related posting to a new server. It seems like the instance with the most #a11y-related content coming from it is front-end.social, but registration is not open. Does anyone there have an invite link that I could use? I'm also open to other domain suggestions!

  Wow, crazy to hear that regular folks in China are even more anxious about "falling behind" in #AI adoption than in the US. https://youtu.be/fEGUlvR9gvY?t=1069

  Hey #AI companies. Ask your super-smart computers what caching is. We don't need bespoke answers to every prompt.

  This video is about #AI art, but what he says about the process leading you somewhere different and often better is just as valid with #WebDevelopment. https://youtu.be/WeCSzEtZcUw?t=318

  Having both #Meta and #Softbank announce plans to rent out their excess #AI compute the same week seems like a meaningful milestone in the journey to the #AIBubble finally collapsing.

  Bananas that #Apple would launch subscriptions with un-cancellable 12 month commitments mere days after #Adobe settled a lawsuit claiming its practices around subscriptions just like that were unlawful. I guess $75 million in store credit wasn't enough of a deterrent to keep others companies from doing the same things. https://9to5mac.com/2026/04/27/apple-introduces-monthly-subscriptions-with-a-12-month-commitment-on-the-app-store/

  Wow, the #AIBubble might be helping the #StockMarket completely ignore dangers like the Iran War, along with the general entitlement of thinking they are always going to be rescued, no matter what happens. https://youtube.com/shorts/MqKlzISCiOc

  This guy is completely right about #OpenAI going bust, but #AI isn't going away completely, as nice as that would be. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DXLonuEAEEA/ It will collapse into niches that actually make sense and then grow from there. #AIBubble

  An #AIRebound? In this economy? https://www.instagram.com/reel/DXJyEh9jk6l/ I think this is completely wrong. Companies are just going to stick with delivering poor quality products until after the market finally collapses and we hopefully return to basing investment decisions and capitalization on some shred of reality. #AIBubble

  My coworkers used #Rovo in #Jira to create a summary of the work we have done for a client, and it confidently came up with the randomest collection of odd items and inaccuracies, which is especially crazy since the work on this project has been so significant that it has been adapted into SEVEN different contributed modules for #Drupal.

  There are so many huge problems that #SamAltman, #OpenAI, and #GenerativeAI in general are causing in the world, but I think there might be another technology that is more directly contributing to the problem of #GunViolence in our society: Guns. https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/sam-altman-shooting-apology

  This article makes me wonder that if some AI agent were to call terminus site:delete whether there is a way for #Pantheon support to easily recover the #drupal site or associated backups, or whether the entire thing would be irrecoverably gone. https://archive.ph/T3LU6 h/t @mhoye

  Damn, getting more goblins, gremlins, raccoons, trolls, ogres, and pigeons would actually make me enjoy using #GenerativeCoding tools more. https://www.wired.com/story/openai-really-wants-codex-to-shut-up-about-goblins/ #OpenAI #Codex

  An interesting and accessible look at #OpenClaw and #AIAgents by #HannahFry. https://youtu.be/WnzR5aOElvw I only wish she: 1. Changed her SMTP server to not actually spam everyone. 2. Referred to the agent as "it" instead of "her". 3. Didn't end with "these things are getting better fast" when nothing is being done about the fundamental underlying flaws with this entire methodology.

  If you are going to (stupidly) ask #AI to shoot someone, please don't have it use a voice that sounds like a young black man. https://youtu.be/_jLoJGkCPlM #Racism #Robots

  Ugh, are we still stuck writing an alter function just to enable the select dropdown for entity reference fields view filters? https://gorannikolovski.com/feature-peek/new-entityreference-filter-for-drupal-views #Drupal

  Sometimes I feel like I have don't enough gibberish scrolling across my screen to look like a futuristic hacker, and sometimes a user pastes a base 64 encoded png into a text area and it takes out my local database on import. #Hackers #SciFi

  Remember that period when absolutely everyone believed that margarine was healthier than butter after being duped by some lying companies and health charlatans, and then a bunch of people died of heart attacks? That might turn out to be an apt metaphor for the current #AI craze as our economy spreads generative content on everything it consumes, and all our communication channels are being coated in a sticky layer of artificial gunk.
