In time of climate change, skyrocketing wealth inequality, pandemic, and global strife, it's good that the New York Times decided to focus today on what really matters…
checks notes
…unabashedly laundering the reputation of a convicted fraudster whose wide-scale "medical startup" con (enabled in no small part by puff pieces in NYT in the first place) destroyed a lot of trust in medical progress, Elizabeth Holmes.
sigh 🙄
Unrelated: I wonder why people mistrust the #media. It's a mystery!
They did an album with the sleeve-notes featuring 'an arrow diagram purporting to represent the links between four major record labels (AOL Time-Warner, BMG, Sony, Vivendi Universal) and various arms manufacturers.'
@themself@rayckeith@wjrucklidge@cstross Which gets even grimmer considering that we are discussing just one facet of a persons life. Factoring all the rest must be a major point of distraction; frustration and realisation for this generation.
For any new followers since I last mentioned this: I am an amateur browserengine dev, currently with NLnet funding! Currently focusing on building a great TV experience "Haphaestus".
I strive to show the potential of a simpler JavaScript-free web to work on any conceivable device! Without sacrificing support for a myriad of written languages, or accessibility measures! Written in reusable Haskell.
And yes, I threw in Gemini support since that was trivial.
Ive been leading a productive day but I have a little itch:
Did Charles make it to the church safely?
Given the hundreds of millions spent on this journey and decades preparing the route, it would be embarrassing if he got lost and had to ask the general public for help.
@ernest Im letting some of that stuff cool down, some unexpected (non professional) drama during the year meant I could not focus on commercialiing or contextualising the breakthroughs I made.
Im bundling up some of the concepts to federate content within a users system - attacking Makefiles as a first stage.
At that point it will be pose a more understandable and practical utility.
Then it will then be more interesting for services like yours.
#Lisp people, let's hold our own caronation cdremony!
I pledge allegiance to any current dialect, or future heirs therefor, in which: the empty list is the symbol nil; (car nil) is a harmless operation returning nil; there are real interned symbols instead of strings in symbolic clothing, real lists made of conses, distinct from arrays, and all the rest.
@LabSpokane@ai6yr@atomicpoet You should see the shit they invented in the Industrial Revolution - we only really think of the successes, not the litany of obscure failures.
Relax, the world doesnt need every perfect solution to arrive the next day.
Lets be a little creative and then see what happens :)

Its a fascinating domain #semiotics - when its used to inform and generate genuine change it can be incredibly powerful, especially when used creatively to solve bespoke problems.
the spam and misinformation from #LLMs is a feature not a bug to the companies that develop them
when you sell the ability to detect AI spam either by filtering results or through some "knowledge platform," being unable to access information through other means is really good for business
Diluting informational power is the point. All fake everything is what they were designed to do.
@jonny Its just having just one more massive intermediary in between everything, similar to how problematic financial transfers are without using electronic payment companies
