Önce YZ cevapların kötü tavsiyeleri, sonra da mühendislik belgelerinin sızması Google için bu haftanın çok kötü geçmesine neden oldu. Ben de bu hafta @newslabturkey n okuyoruz| bülteninin odağı olarak googlelamak eskiden nasıl algılanırdı, şimdi nasıl algılanıyor sorusunu ele aldım.
“Ne Okuduk” bölümünde ise WaPo’nun yeni abonelik modeli, BuzzFeed’deki hissedar draması ve daha fazlası var.
Benim için sosyal medya platformları için en kritik dönüm noktalarından birisi platformdan tanıştığım kişilerle yüz yüze tanışmaya ve görüşmeye başladığım zamandır. @ahmetkkeles sayesinde geçtiğimiz Cumartesi günü bunu ilk kez Mastodon için yaşadım. O yüzden artık burası da olmaya başladı diyebilirim rahatlıkla. :)
@ahmetasabanci I find it quite funny that some of the biggest advocates of the extropian diaspora from Earth are also contributing to what will soon be the complete impossibility of launching anything from earth without it being smashed into by some broken piece of commercial junk
I’m curious about the decision OpenAI made about making most of the paid stuff free (with usage limits). Unless someone uses it dozens of times a day, it’s not worth $20.
I have two theories about this change. Either they’ve found a better income model because not many people were paying for it already and decided to slowly kill it, or they’re having trouble training GPT-5 and need more data from users and this is the way they’re trying to solve it.
@ahmetasabanci third option: they're trying to drown paid competition until they have the entire market, and then cancel the subsidies, similar to the rideshare market model
Tonight I gave an online workshop to a group of people who were accepted to one of our media incubator programs to develop their projects. And there were five AI meeting assistants on the call instead of those five applicants.
On the one hand I’m really pissed off about their laziness and disrespect. But on the other hand, I’m kinda happy because the assistant doesn’t understand a single word of Turkish and they ended up with bunch of garbage text.
@ahmetasabanci Does have faint "cover story for a spy" vibes... though that may not be the sort of thing you're after when it comes to, say, trying to arrange a visa
ABD’de TikTok’un engellenmesine sebep olabilecek yasanın yürürlüğe girmesiyle birlikte TikTok için önemli bir geri sayım başladı. Bu hafta @newslabturkey n okuyoruz| bülteninin odağında ABD’nin TikTok takıntısının arkasında yatan motivasyonları ve bunun doğurabileceği sonuçları yazdım.
“Ne Okuduk” bölümünde ise Ghost’un ActivityPub desteği, Google aramalarını kullanılmaz kılan ismin hikâyesi ve daha fazlası var.
I’m doing my best to avoid latest #discourse because people trying to make it a thing have no idea how nonprofits work and as someone who spends most of his working time in or around nonprofits I really don’t have time to explain things to people who clearly have no interest in understanding it.
Trust me, if you knew how nonprofits work or what kinds of troubles they deal with every day you’d immediately see that no one would even consider it as a tool for the conspiracies you think about. It’s worse than the worst possible option.
Today I played basketball for the first time after a century. Sure, every part of my body hurts right now but I didn’t know that I missed playing this much.
@ivory hi folks! I’ve noticed that when I tried to save something to Readwise Reader with the in-app option, it doesn’t work. Nothing seems to be sent to Readwise. I checked the API key and it looks good so I wanted to let you know about it.
@ivory ok so I dug a little deeper and found that when I save a post here it goes into “Tweets” category in normal Readwise like a highlight, but when I try and save a link it doesn’t do anything and I assumed it should be saving it to Readwise Reader. If that’s how it should work, it’s all good but otherwise there might be an issue on Readwise API side of things.
Well, the local elections in Turkey turned out to be an historic for several reasons. I was expecting most of it but not at this level.
First of all, CHP for the first time got the most votes in general, meaning AKP is the second. Plus, CHP has won not only the biggest cities in Turkey but also took many new ones from AKP, some was seen impossible. There are cities CHP won for the first time ever or decades later.
There are two main reasons for this. First one is the economy. Even though things were bad last year, it got even worse after the general election and AKP had to start implementing austerity policies. People were not happy about it and decided to give a message.
Second one is CHP campaign was not perfect but much smarter than the general election, plus didn’t have the baggage of the formal coalition with parties like İYİ. OTOH, AKP was a total mess. Their campaign was focused on Erdogan.
