Which is probably why he wants to hollow out NASA and have SpaceX take their place.

Which is why we need to get off corpo platforms. A corporation will never care for people or look out for people’s best interests, it only ever cares about finances going up, and will put that before everything. An authoritarian regime wanting to censor their genocide? Absolutely. Fuck the victims, it’s more important that our pockets are well lined.

Bluesky is just twitter. It’s the same bullshit with a different recipe. It’ll never be a good platform for democracy.

During a meeting not too long ago someone was like “we’re looking into using AI to generate these reports.”

So they have a dude who gets requests to generate reports. It’s not the same reports, but rather custom reports from scattered bits of data throughout a huge database. Ergo you can’t really create a program to extract these reports on demand, a person actually has to sit and piece these together.

Now they want to use LLMs to alleviate him, as this isn’t technically his role.

They scoffed at me when I asked about how important it is that these reports are accurate, but I mean, it’s a valid concern. Best case you get sometimes-hallucinated reports, worst case you get something that wreaks havoc on the database because it just spits out garbage SQL.

I’m very glad that my role doesn’t involve that BS.

Is it an open standard?

I think it fits. It’s about as agile as a brick, and Microsoft tries really hard to make it look friendly and approachable.
