I gave #linkedin an honest try, for a year or more, in terms of finding #work.

It's a cesspool of #toxicpositivity and fake job postings.

Now I'm asking, with all urgency -- to anyone who has anything #tech to offer, please consider a guy who has:

- 30 yrs of experience
- out of work for 20 months
- 3 kids, one of who is coming up on her first birthday
- a track record for secure systems
- a month left before being evicted

AI image synthesis is inherently wasteful. As we all know but often ignore, anything called AI today consumes enormous energy resources and computing power, and it relies on the mass exploitation of human labor on a planetary scale. But increasingly, AI images themselves have also become a kind of visual waste, contaminating the web with fake content, cheap clickbait, and neo-fascist propaganda. Amazon, for example, has been flooded with scammy children’s picture books entirely generated with AI tools. From the point of view of their developers, wastefulness, however, is less a bug than a feature of these tools ...

Venía del supermercado a casa a paso ligero y con cierto calor, pensando en hacer el almuerzo y me ha asustado tremendo eructo de origen desconocido (algún hogar de la zona) que me ha sacado de mis cavilaciones con violencia, a lo que he gritado agitando las tres bolsas que cargaba: ¡AAAH! ¡YA ESTÁ AQUÍ LA GUERRA! Se ha hecho el silencio y he aligerado al paso antes de que las vecinas se asomaran a la calle.

"Esta casa es un espacio seguro de Pérez-Reverte" es una frase que se acaba de pronunciar en la mesa.

Groeiproces.

En el blog: ¿Hay que declarar a Hacienda transferencias de más de 10.000 euros?

tl;dr: algo muy divertido (no) que me pasó cuando empecé a documentarme para volver a España y que me confirma que las IA van a acelerar la enmierdificación de absolutamente toda la web, pero que los operadores humanos ya estaban bastante comprometidos con la causa.

A veces España consigue no dar asco.

"El ministro de Asuntos Exteriores, José Manuel Albares, ha anunciado este lunes que España mantendrá su apoyo a la Agencia de la ONU para los Refugiados Palestinos (UNRWA), a pesar de que una decena de países le han cortado ya la financiación"
