#AI@Work
Yes but...

I'm running out of ways to tell y'all that there are people that work in AI safety that are *not* these people.

Just like there are VCs that are *not* eugenecist ethnic cleansers.

Just like there are policians that are not great replacement ethnic cleaners.

Y'all pick the worst heroes
Women trying to succeed in Silicon Valley AI and effective altruist spaces are reporting feeling serious social pressure to attend sex parties - where people have reported being sexually assaulted, like below.

Events like Aella’s “Slutcon,” which is happening again this weekend.

You sleep; the work goes on. Qynix and QuePo keep your machine running the useful stuff overnight, so results are ready when you wake. from the QynQue poster set #QynQue #AIAgents #WorkWhileYouSleep #Automation #OvernightAI qynque.com

here's their sort of logic at work

either AI will kill us all, or AI will solve climate change

so climate change isn't really a problem

Uhhh, why is anyone listening to this Nate Soares guy on AI??

“I think global warming is going to be fine. I think either we’re going to kill ourselves with the AI or we’re going to be able to invent the tech to just pull the carbon right out of the atmosphere. It’s going to be fine.”

Boneheaded!!

I think I may have been scammed for the first time on Takeaway.com. Ordered from Brussels resto La Tourelle but no food delivered. Takeaway AI says it can’t help - and it doesn’t offer a customer service number. I’m super interested in this from a work perspective - but also quite hungry.

Preach! In the growing world of forced AI, being able to understand how shit works is going to super important.

Yeah, sur, maybe you website is built with paper clips and ducktape but you can explain why it work and you will know which one of those paperclip is weight barring.

It's also such a wrong takeaway! I know animators and other industry professionals who love furry commissions because it's fun work, the clients are generous and love art, you're getting clients who aren't handing you a gen AI prompt to work off of, etc. Normie freelance is so dire rn

I also believe the data & info architecture work needed is and will remain profound: I do not think "the answer" to healthcare AI will ever be "do absolutely everything with LLMs." Trusted and fixed sources (eg clinical endpoints pulled from clinicaltrials API) make AI interactions far better

Meta's Muse agent is attacking one of the economy's most profitable weak spots
Meta's Muse AI personal agent will work over your credit card spending if you don't mind the invasion. How big a threat is it to the subscription economy?

What actions would distinguish a pro-social “less work” AI movement from the anti-social “build and own machine god so the machine god doesn’t kill us all [and btw we have infinite money and become feudal lords]” AI movement we have now?

The work they stole was a mathematician still using AI to solve it. So it was still AI regardless.

the irony that some of these people work on ai guardrails
September 27, 2026 at 6:12 PM
The work, which was not reviewed and clearly a case of AI evangelists pulling "research" out of their own asses, has divided the community.
September 27, 2026 at 6:10 PM
Really would be swell if everyone could drop the framing that AI is doing anything at all "unexpected" when it consistently does this All The Time.

It continually breaks past and guardrails because the nature of how LLMs work is fundamentally incompatible with guardrails in the first place.

I know AI is unpopular here compared to the other site. But can we agree this is the best possible use of AI media generation? An individual bringing their own original work to life, just for the sake of being awesome? I, for one, want to see more of this!

Opus 5.5 continues a recent tradition of wanting to pursue the requested goal to the end without bothering the human until it got it completed. Those forms of alignment, which do not demand human-AI team work and incentivice lazy/occasional human oversight, IMHO, are doomed to fail (for humans).

We need a graph for abandoned side projects since AI coding.

When a new idea is just a prompt away to prototype I find myself chasing multiple ideas that I end up throwing away.

Having diligence to find an idea to work on for the long term is getting really hard.

Got a chance to stop by my local farmers market for a moment and noticed numerous booths that has extensive AI signage/photos/art in their displays in the past have all been replaced with seemingly handmade work

So…I think the backlash is working you all

Emotion AI at work promises smoother service while teaching employees to perform happiness for an invisible evaluator. When a machine scores your tone, honesty may become a workplace risk. #Work #AI
