Even though I never cooked when I was living in Southeast Asia (you.. really don’t need to), paying attention to food procurement and techniques helped me level up when I started cooking when I left that region.

(Eating street food there is often cheaper than buying ingredients and cooking yourself. In almost all SEA cities)

There’s a lot of stuff I felt I just ‘knew’ because I was around people who dealt with food all the time

Oh man, this news story. Former MLA from Manitoba asks Meta's own "ask AI" chatbot if a phone number he found on Google is really Meta support. It tells him yes. It isn't, and he's scammed out of $500 and control of his accounts. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/facebook-customer-support-scam-1.7219581

@misty

this to me speaks so much about what’s ethically dubious about how the tool has been rolled out.

it’s one thing to present it as a choose your own adventure spicy autocomplete for code. code either works or it doesn’t.

but the way it’s been baked into everything else presents it as authoritative. it’s not spicy autocomplete it’s ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.

you need an incredible amount of… “computer literacy” to use it safely, but then its shoved everywhere.

I wrote a fairly mundane post on Reddit that led to me getting an AI-prompted message with suicide prevention resources.

I was completely mystified but then I realized it was probably because I included the phrase: "I find it hard to manage" (in a context like "I find it hard to manage the crabgrass in my garden ... ").

This is the future isn't it? AI pestering us with context-free misunderstood nonsense. I guess I should just count myself lucky that the AI didn't institutionalize me.

@danielnazer @mhoye also doubles as a harassment vector. someone was triggering those suicide watch messages towards everyone who posted in r/trans

The headline is “Israeli crowds chant racist slogans, taunt Palestinians during Jerusalem march” and the problem is that these particular crowds accurately represent the posture of Israel’s government.

[Update: This story turns out to be a year old. Pardon my missing that. But I stand by what I said.]
