Yep. “We want more people to watch Shorts” -> A/B test cramming more into the home screen -> “More people watched Shorts with X change, roll it out to everyone” -> “What’s the next idea to get more people to watch Shorts?”
Someone gets the idea that more views on Shorts is what they need and start optimizing for it. On and on until another metric becomes more important and they optimize for that.
At my workplace eng management won’t shut up about AI and vibe coding.
Welcome to the world of tomorrow!
Sorry about, well, the state of everything
My career as an artist is in shambles
Here’s my shitty drawing of something AI can’t draw
It’s kind of practical when standing or walking slowly, like at a fair. Since it’s got a shoulder strap I don’t have to hold it all the time. But you can’t set it down with anything in it. Cleaning is a little awkward but not terrible, give it a good soak and use a bottle brush to get all the way down.

Different websites running the same program that work with each other. Lemmy is the program running on lemmy.world, where you and I both have accounts. There are other Lemmy servers that lemmy.world is compatible with.

There are other programs that work this way too, like Mastodon and Pixelfed. All these websites running all these programs are “the fediverse”
The cancer grows to the peril of the host
Bad news about Target: they’ve cancelled their DEI initiatives to cater to the administration
That mantis shrimp familiar is badass.
