Glad to have the Fediverse back to normal. Anyone know why the spam wave stopped? Did they just give up, or did Japanese authorities step in?

All this 15 minute city stuff... Whatever happened to advocating for universal public transit? Huh? When did that go out of style?

INCREDIBLE IDEA: stop calling artists 'insane' or 'crazy but brilliant' and then try to qualify it like it's an endearing thing.

Anyone find any cool new #selfhosted services lately? Can you recommend something for someone who runs the usual suspects already?

right now, our principle means of training machine learning algorithms is through a combination of prompting and using humans to manually sort weights by sorting them by simple interactions -- this makes me happy, this makes me sad, this makes me angry.

It stands to reason that, either now or soon, there will be models that are near-perfect mirrors of human intelligence as defined its preferences. So, not actual intelligence, simply a full genome of how we think, react, and behave.

something really weird about me: I have a strange, encyclopedic knowledge of Western folk songs and bar songs from about 1920 - 1960. I routinely surprise my wife because i'll hear an old, unlicensed song in a show and start singing along.

i only mention cus it's a neat story as to why. 🧵

The apple threw our half baked fears
Like a wooden shoe in the windmill gear
The turning stopped and we clearly saw
The flaws in that which finds the flaw

i get and respect the onus behind the push for "Common Era" as a replacement for "After Death", but, like, shouldn't we then declare a new calendar? Because the Common Era still begins with Christ's death. 🤔

i am so tired of my entire world being bifurcated. everyone either lives in this world, or that one. i feel like i am being held hostage to the idea that "if one extreme exists, there must be another extreme."

how come there's so little science fiction that positions HUMANS as the first species in the universe to achieve sapience? why do we always assume that humans are gonna be outgunned?

I guess I am a little worried at how quickly we were all ready to accept that ChatGPT was a digital brain. Turing was right.
