Twitterโ€ as a website is now finally, entirely dead!! We'll it for sure.

The billionaire announced that the site had finally moved its systems to X.com, marking the end of the siteโ€™s rebrand to X.

The twitter block issue is caused by Firfox filters. Firefox is working on a fix. The announcement reads as: Hey folks, we are aware of the Twitter issue and our team is working on a fix at the moment.

In the meantime, disabling Enhanced Tracking Protection or changing it from Strict should fix this issue temporarily. Here's how to do that: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/enhanced-tracking-protection-firefox-desktop#w_what-to-do-if-a-site-seems-broken

If you care about voters being genuinely informed on key issues, the absolute worst thing about presidential so-called debates is live audiences filled with partisans.

But for media corporations, it's all about money -- and they love these events because they generate ratings.

It's not 'Artificial Intelligence'. We don't have 'Artificial Intelligence'. Everyone lambasted IBM (quite rightly) when they called Watson 'Artificial Intelligence' because it's not a thing humanity has achieved. Not even close. We have really good language models. I am getting pretty tired explaining to people 'No we need a different kind of model for that'. I'd make a T-shirt except I don't wear T-shirts. #AI #NotAI

Brilliant proposal by German politicians: Let us place air defence systems inside NATO, and have these systems save civilian lives by shooting down missiles over western Ukraine.

This is pretty clever because

  1. Russia cannot bomb these systems as that would be an act of war against the entire NATO alliance.

  2. The systems cannot trigger a war with Russia themselves, as they are not attacking Russia.

Do it!

@benroyce The Musk cult, a few hundred years ago, would consist of people picking up goat poo and telling everyone the berries are delicious. And misunderstood because people are too stupid to recognized good quality goat berries when they see them.

@knowprose@mastodon.social avatar

@thepoliticalcat @benroyce the masses aren't paid at all. They just want to believe the possibility that they could have what he has. That they are all temporarily inconvenienced billionaires. He gives them hope for a world that they want for themselves.

The media can't stop talking about him even when they should.

Now, if we replace 'Musk' with 'Trump', you will begin to see the pattern.

Everyone wants hope. It's what they hope for that is telling.

13 May: When does AI cross the line between helpful tool and problematic tech for writing and publishing?

I think it is an inherently problematic tech because of how the data is sourced. The way it is applied, to replace human creators, is just a shit on top.
As a tool, I personally have yet to find helpful. It is a fun toy, not gonna lie about that, but the time spent tinkering with the prompt could be better spent writing it myself, honestly.

@AimeeMaroux It also has been used to spam Amazon.com with summaries of books not even a month after they're published.

Forget Silicon Valley - the future of startups is global, remote-first, and built by solopreneurs and micro-teams. SF is over. Proximity covens are over. Distributed is the new default. Solo founders and small agile teams will outmaneuver slow, bloated companies.
