@wilbowma@types.pl I find the use of generative AI morally repugnant in most circumstances and this action by @ACM@mastodon.acm.org to corrupt my work in this way is deeply offensive. #GenAI

@liamoc @jonmsterling My work laptop runs Ubuntu and I am not allowed sudo to install packages with apt, but I am allowed to use Nix with my local user account. Such a ridiculously worse experience than apt...

@afwaller@mastodon.social @alexjsp@mastodon.social I have never used Instagram but the impression I get from talking to others about it is that they don't do antispam so it wouldn't surprise me if they are totally under resourced for corruption investigations.

@vijay@discuss.systems Some places have found ways of doing this well. e.g. Oxford Computer Security had Katherine Fletcher for a while doing really excellent work making things work better. It can also go badly wrong though with "New Public Management" philosophies that involve even more metrics. Both right people and right structures required.

@stuartgale Yes the variable length that is sometimes several minutes and variable start time doesn't help...
The enthusiasm of youth asks "Can it be done?" The bitter wisdom of experience asks "Should it be done?". Far too much has been done that should not have been, and not done that should have been. The world burns. Wisdom weeps: "Told you so".
