Welp, finally did it. I deleted all my tweets. All 68k of them. I don't want anything I've produced to be part of Elon's garbage island.

I did of course leave one tweet standing. https://twitter.com/fraying

@donw @brucelawson I actually haven't seen Prince of Darkness, but it's definitely high on the list! The movie the image is from is from the last 2 or 3 years. Honestly not even sure spoilers are such a bad thing for it - ending felt tacked on, but I liked the vibes.

@donw @brucelawson It is from a movie ... but saying which one might be a spoiler. So, keep watching movies!

Sometimes I have to wonder why I'm even bothering. AI hype is both unavoidable and ever-present.

things that would make my life as a cyclist easier:

apple maps

  • bike lane affinity
  • bike directions with multiple stops

fantastical

  • bike travel time
  • directions button directly opening apple maps with directions via method selected in travel time

@exchgr @mimsical That's a good idea. I'm stupid and use an airpod.

@exchgr @mimsical I appreciate how Apple Maps works with the Watch, too. Have yet to use it for long complicated rides though.

Claiming that large language models will give rise to AGI is like me saying, "Soon my toaster will be making bread from scratch."

"The key is to make decisions as late as you can responsibly wait because that is the point at which you have the most information on which to base the decision." https://blog.codinghorror.com/the-last-responsible-moment/

misc,
@misc@mastodon.social avatar

@codinghorror Maybe it's like how an alcoholic can't responsibly drink though - I'm not sure I have the luxury to even entertain anything like "option hoarding". Still figuring it out though, and realistically it's not all or nothing - a lot of this way of being is probably baked in no matter how "reformed" I get.

misc,
@misc@mastodon.social avatar

@codinghorror Thank you! I may have chosen a poor analogy because it makes my situation sound more dramatic than it is. I'm really ok! Only wanted to make the point that, it's one thing to note the theoretical logical optimal thing, but in practice, many people might be better off orienting themselves against whatever natural tendencies they tend to go overboard with. (And may end up closer to that theoretical ideal than they would if they aimed for it.)

always blows my mind how charles johnson the LIttle Green Footballs guy was able to rebrand as liberal when back in the blog days he was one of the absolute most toxic dudes online, a bigoted freak on par with Atlas Shrugged, Ace of Spades, any of the stone weirdos predating the modern GOP

now i see ppl RTing his shit like he's just another liberal 'personality' lol

@ancient_catbus The weirdest thing is he did it without becoming an MSNBC personality.

I've decided that my stance on boosting non captioned pics is not that I'll never do it, but it definitely raises the threshold.

I really wish @bkc would get back into more public facing, community engaging events. It was a wonderful open place, and it would be such a great time to have such a place again.
