Cocopool, business model: airbnb for private swimming pools, I kid you not, got interviewed as part of the Spanish evening news. Result: website unresponsive and returning 504 for a while.

"People who believe in superintelligence present an interesting case, because many of them are freakishly smart. They can argue you into the ground. But are their arguments right, or is there just something about very smart minds that leaves them vulnerable to religious conversion about AI risk, and makes them particularly persuasive?"

Don't trust anyone selling Spanish street food. There's no such thing.

@cford what about churros?

judeswae,
@judeswae@toot.thoughtworks.com avatar

@cford In my neighborhood, we do. A lot of the churros places I know in Barcelona do just that. Doesn't mean you can't get churros also in a bar, etc.

Come to my place around Sunday at 4pm. That's usually when we like to go.

How late is too late to start work on slides for a conference? Asking for a friend...

@squirke Go without slides and use Gemini or ChatGPT to generate them on the fly, as you speak.

I thought the ad was fine. I like that people are analysing and discussing things like this though.

@cford without the apology, I probably would not have seen the ad.

@cford It's been a very long time since an Apple ad has made me press the "like button". Whether it's with mother nature, unlimited storage for photos or whatever, it portraits something I don't fall for.

I think in this case, it might resonate with the struggle the creative industry has with the latest AI development. A whole class of workers is feeling robbed, threatened, "crushed?" by the latest GenAI "creative" models.

"What if the big tech companies achieved their ultimate business goal — maximizing engagement on their platforms — in a way that has undermined our ability to function as an open society? What if they realized that when folks agree on a solution to a problem, they are most likely to log off a site or move on?"
