Seeing how inefficient, unsustainable, and generally doomed the hyperscale #AI business model is, it can be difficult to remember that #LearningModels don't need to be so resource intensive (if you don't have a business valuation to inflate).

This #KarenHao interview from 8 months ago still feels evergreen.

One of the best thing about #Drupal's implementation of #Twig for templating is that it is so forgiving of things like type mismatches and non-existent array keys, except apparently if you try to run |clean_id on an array, where it behaves like the rest of modern engineer-focused Drupal and whitescreens the entire page out of principle.

Was there a place in the #Drupalcon session submission form to ask for accommodations? If so, I should have filled it in, or reached out separately once accepted, because it is not ideal to schedule someone with a #DelayedSleepPhase to give their talk at 9am.

Do people get notified of updates to closed #Drupal tickets when you chide them about having made breaking changes in minor version updates?

The building peer pressure to ignore the #AIBubble—despite it now being plain for everyone to see—is reminding me quite a bit of all the dudes yelling #HODL! as the NFT markets started plummeting.

Boy, the #DisplaySuite module for #Drupal has an interesting development practice where rather than waiting for major version changes for breaking changes, they just add toggles to keep things as they are for older installations.

Not sure if I love it or hate it, but it did just cause me problems when an update function meant to enable a backwards compatibility flag did not run for some reason.

So glad #Atlassian is firing 1,600 people so they can invest more in AI. The big problem with #Jira is definitely that there isn't enough probabilistic behavior built into it.

Boy, #Drupal security releases seem extra foreboding when they are for #AI-related modules. There are entirely new classes of security vulnerabilities that are being created with these integrations. How often will we see release notes like "the AI will delete your entire site if a user asks nicely in spanish".

Excited to hear that #Pantheon is building an #AI that will do all sorts of back-end tasks like clearing #Drupal caches and changing server configuration.

And by excited, I mean I clutching the arms of my chair in fear of all the things that will be messed up by giving more tools and access to people who are not knowledgeable enough to write a simple terminus command.

One of the #Drupal's biggest problems is attracting new and younger contributors to the project, and doing things like having a gala that costs $125 to attend seems antithetical to having an open and welcoming community.

https://dri.es/drupal-25th-anniversary-gala-at-drupalcon-chicago

Anyone interested in organizing a counter-event during that same time that is open to everyone and explicitly welcoming to new and casual contributors?
