@cwebber What is the point of Zuckerberg? He keeps dropping the ball, time after time. If I were an employee or shareholder if be very frustrated and worried right now.

@maddad @VeroniqueB99 CoughJust "these days"?It has been sliding for a while. You knowIraq war v1. 0 & 2.0 weren't entirely legit either then came 119 which promoted Afghanistan and then the Monty pythonesque "running away"Letting Putin grab chunks of Ukraine... Going to stop there as my brain is yelling "enough already" which I'm sure yours is too

@jayalane @carrideen @futurebird When I was in Civil Defense as a young man, we were asked to hold a meeting, select a spokesperson and write down any grievances we might have.I was there for a month, we never heard anything back. The whole thing started over again with the next group.

@CatsWander @gwynnion Correct me if I’m wrong … but did we all just flesh out a children’s book about Larry?

@elduvelle @peter_mcmahan Yeah, it would be really great if developers would take an explicit stance on this topic - AI is fomenting enough distrust without everybody also having to default to assuming any tech will probably try to smuggle it in through the back door at some point...

@sundogplanets It won't be dark here until like September. Am I right, @redrummy?

@DandelionSquee @blogdiva I had wondered what his contribution would be to the event. Throwing some passes? Live version of his podcast?

@malte @CiaraNi I don’t think I understood the answer then. I didn’t mean to throw a new question.

@82mhz Cool! but also, "I 3D-printed a cog that fit into the tape, attached that to my battery powered drill and wound the tape back and forth a couple of times this way." ... CHEATER!

@failedLyndonLaRouchite#GenAI seems miraculous until you critically examine its output. It simply isn't trustworthy. And, because it deals in word frequencies rather than facts, rather than truth and falsehood, it's incapable of telling you when what it says is true and when it's nonsense. Explicitly telling the machine not to hallucinate, interpolate or guess will make hallucinations less frequent, but still not to the point where you can trust anything the machine says.And, when you don't spot a hallucination, who's responsible for letting it slip through the net? Why, you are, of course.@emilymbender @alex

@paco they don't call it MIcro$oft for nothing.

@thesquirrelfish @RickiTarr At least if you're in a major metro US area, it would cost about $20 at FedEx Office (nee Kinko's) for one that would look completely professional.I'd recommend grabbing a solid 4-color black image, stretch it out to cover the entire page as a background (such as in OpenOffice) then place white text on top of it. e.g. https://e0.pxfuel.com/wallpapers/264/426/desktop-wallpaper-pure-black-solid-dark.jpg

@baldur Yeah, been thinking that for a while - I often accompany my thoughts about it with a certain Star Trek clip involving the woman who played the lead character in "The Color Purple"... https://helvede.net/@jwcph/115708802298404647

@clmerle so, where can I buy?

@jonesmurphy @dangillmor Mmmm.Believe it or not, I think we'll get along just fine, actually.There'll be bumps. How couldn't there be? I'm uhhh, old, white, cis, male, grew up on welfare, but just the same privileged.Stevie taught me a lot, when I was a young becoming radical, and as I grew, Baldwin became my greatest intellectual mentor.I'm, don't get me wrong, a colossal fuck-up, but I think it's possible for you to overlook that.

@davidgerard @bbbhltz Their joint European search index are not only about sovereignty. They sell the index for AI training. Stan is "Powered by European Search Perspective". I hate the cesspool that web search has become.https://www.eu-searchperspective.com/#advantages
