The best campaign commercial ever. So simple. A nostalgic song, beautifully performed.

A bunch of stock footage of American workers and families, esp in Vermont, interspersed with video from campaign events.

These things aren't complicated. I bet Bernie and S&G would let Biden use the same format.

This is excellent news. Maybe finally the execs at the big exhibitor chains will scream loud enough at the execs at the big studios for Hollywood to stop shoveling the same old sequel/IP franchise shit at moviegoers*.

*Who am I kidding. The big dumb corporate studios are going to keep shoveling shit at us until ticket sales go to zero at which point they’ll scratch their heads and wonder “wuh happund”

The biggest issue that’s turning up for me about AI is not the models, hallucinations, etc, but how leakily AI-enabled services share potentially sensitive data with third parties. Using AI to process or read aloud a confidential document? Guess what, a third party you have no control over has a copy of it now.

@ben

right. you shouldn't do that, and a bet a lot of people aren't thinking that way.

I'm writing about AI and users today, and I wanted a Scarlett Johansson image to go in the right margin and that led me to this product on Amazon.

It's a 1/6 scale plastic version of SJ's head. There are a few versions, some bigger, different color hair, etc.

They have 1/6 scale female bodies that you can put SJ's head on.

A whole industry apparently has formed around her head and body.

“The Big Web has users – a term Silicon Valley has borrowed from drug dealers to describe the people they addict to their services and exploit.”— @aral, “What is the Small Web?”

@raganwald @jmeowmeow @aral

the most important thing is we all have to work together, then we'll be making good use of the small web (I like social web better).

small pieces loosely joined, a term coined by david weinberger, the best explanation of the web in four freaking words! ;-)

they manage to do it in park city which is much smaller than santa fe.

about 10 times more people in santa fe.

and real estate in santa fe would boom. good skiing nearby iirc.

It’s weird that we’re exploring an amazing new technology, but because Twitter is so disrupted, there’s no single place to report your discoveries. A pretty big handicap.

Has anyone ever asked you, on the social web, what you think about something? Not a message to everyone to which you could reply, but a message specifically to you?

I try to do it when I think of it. I find you can get really interesting ideas that way sometimes. And also it's a way spreading some love around the world, because people like to be asked what they think, I've found.

davew,
@davew@mastodon.social avatar

@hadarvc

consider yourself asked! :-)

davew,
@davew@mastodon.social avatar

@hadarvc

i'm sure that's not true that you have nothing of interest to share.

it's because imho this medium is all about "getting heard" not "hearing from others."

I'm going through Battlestar Galactica for the third time. I thought it was a good time to do so because one of the major themes of the show was that the robots that the Capricans created went to war with the humans and almost but not quite wiped them out. Almost every episode was about the conflict between humans and AIs. It's a fantastic show, the acting and the writing as far beyond most TV series. I'll let you know if I figure anything out from watching the series again.

If this lands on your feed, tell me about different features that are just missing in Matrix.

It can be anything, but please don't include memes like "unable to decrypt message" or other things that are already in the works, or maybe has already been merged (e.g media captions)

Some examples include better forwarded messages, rich profiles, or a live location sharing, just to name a few.

(I am writing something about this, boosts appreciated!)

@davew@mastodon.social avatar

@cyrus

  1. support incoming and outgoing RSS feeds so you're serving as a decentralized hub for data flowing through those channels.

  2. support basic features for writers as outlined on textcasting.org.

and thanks for asking! 🙂
