  • I’ve worked on both sides of the engineering / technician class divide in manufacturing. Most engineers are worthless lazy pieces of shit that huff their own farts and insist you’re the dumb one.

    I’m between jobs at the moment (by choice), on paper I’m like the guy bitching, but even in this market I was able to make some phone calls. You’re doing it wrong if you’re rawdogging applications. If you have had manufacturing experience like this guy says he has and are known for being okay at making stuff work you’ll get hired.



  • To me, pardon the term, but hysteria about AI generated content as some sort of cooties that taints whatever it touches is silly.

    AI content generally not art because there is not the same intentionality behind it in an ontological sense, in the same way pretty patterns that naturally occur are not art. You can be inspired by whatever, I’d just call you a shit artist if you trace some AI content and call it your art.

    You could argue that it is possible to be art in the same way that guided natural processes can be art, using tools does not immediately make something not art, but looking like art also does not necessarily make something art – it is an interplay between an artisan and their tools to shape the world with intentionality. I think its just a higher bar to clear with tools that could possibly make some of the “creative decisions”.
