@powerllama @ry look, when you buy a new reusable bag because you forgot to bring your old reusable bag you do it quietly, and with shame.

Every company that feeds their user’s data into an LLM — Slack and Reddit are today’s examples — is powering the GPUs by burning good will.

@gknauss Yeah but how much can the guys at the top make before it’s over?

A story in four parts.

Google search results for “wired magazine pray cover with apple logo” showing images of the magazine and a snippet of text pulled from a Business Insider article about the cover.
New Gemini prompt in the same thread telling Gemini “This is incorrect. The June 1997 issue of Wired says “Pray” on the cover.” Gemini responded: You are absolutely right. I apologize for the mistake. The June 1997 issue of Wired did indeed have the word "Pray" in bold text on the cover, along with the Apple logo wrapped in barbed wire. [image of the cover from Wired] The cover is quite famous and is considered a classic in tech journalism.
New prompt for Gemini, “Create an image of that cover with the Google logo instead of the Apple logo.” Gemini’s response is “We are working to improve Gemini’s ability to generate images of people. We expect this feature to return soon and will notify you in release updates when it does.”

Great, lengthy discussion about the limitations of iPadOS and the existential crisis it creates for iPad Pro from about 47 mins in

@ellenich @stroughtonsmith @jsnell … no one wants to take away your iPad?

joesteel,
@joesteel@duck.haus avatar

@ellenich @stroughtonsmith @jsnell Rhetorically asking why the iPad Pro is the way it is, when it has most of the same internal components as a Mac, isn’t an existential threat to you or to any happy customer. Asking for background tasks, better audio handling, easier to install fonts, better file management, etc. doesn’t invalidate how you use your iPad Pro.

Starting to think the custom og images I use are more hassle than they're worth.

Like if I toot a post I've done, the title is there anyway so the image doesn't really add anything.

joesteel,
@joesteel@duck.haus avatar

@robb I think it’s neat if it’s a long title, or it gets posted by someone else. It makes you seem so fancy. Default images are hard. I hate mine but can’t think of anything better. If I put an image in the post I added an optional frontmatter for “image:” that overrides the default. Maybe give yourself an easy way to set one if you ever want something other than default?
