I was lucky enough to be warned by @honk -- if you see any familiar names they would probably appreciate a heads up about their face and name being used for a scam.
I am truly surprised at the number of people that can't recall a time in very recent history when trusted politicians, journalists, media outlets and notable public figures wittingly and unwittingly conspired to use overblown news reports & wild reactions to those reports in a feedback loop to prevent the best Presidential candidate for the American people being elected, handing the election to the best candidate for the American oligarchs instead.

The animations were all hand-coded in Rust and rendered in Vello in real time. Just a screen record in OBS to add the voiceover, no other editing. This feels like a preview of the potential for this infrastructure to support high-powered creative tools.

Today, Lattice Makes History and Leads the Way in Responsible Employment of AI
We need to employ AI as responsibly as we employ people, and to empower everyone to thrive working together. — Jul 09, 2024 by Sarah FranklinSarah Franklin (lattice.com)
I don't know why I've been thinking so much about "Agile". Maybe looking at LinkedIn too much (for unrelated reasons) has broken some demon seal within me, but despite the fact that I'm not interacting with it now, I find myself annoyed about it more than I have been in a while. Today I guess I've got a milquetoast defense of Agile & Scrum: a lot of what they get blamed for is just management trying to go too fast, without explaining.
(ICYMI, see previous for context <mastodon.social/@glyph/1127356…>)
Glyph (@glyph@mastodon.social)
"Individuals and interactions over processes and tools" from the Agile Manifesto is just a fancy rephrasing of a "personal responsibility" ideological stance; i.e. if there's a problem, fix it with individual effort rather than systemic change.Mastodon
