While it can be entertaining to speak with chatgpt or AI, to see what it does... I do not want it to replace search engines or to use it to find serious or important topics. It is not an expert.

I think it is great when people think the fediverse is dead. More people that think the criteria of success is growth in accounts should think we're dead. We don't need that mindset here.

"I recall the 1980s and the major Japanese investment into North America. Some expressed concern that the Japanese would take over our culture. Fast forward to late 2023 and we welcome as much Japanese content as possible! The kicker: the family values of current Japanese content make us nostalgic for our own lost values."

Damn...

Watching women behave like feminine women in classic films and still be pretty kick arse at times is a lot more refreshing than what we get with modern interpretations where they aren't allowed to emote because they have to be stoic and like girlbosses. It just seems so different. Why can't we go back to this?

How do you counter misinformation?

Focus on making the mainstream media trustworthy by them demonstrating that they can be trusted, and make it really easy to access the truth and facts, add context to it. Just talk to people, really. Word of mouth is powerful. People want to learn new things where they are.

It's not rocket science, unless you are trying to pass propaganda off as the truth.

Happy New Year, Fedi!

May the New Year bring good blessings and tidings to you and yours. May you reach your set goals for the year, may it bring more happy memories for you to remember and share. May you reach another life goal. May you get to spend more time with family and friends, and eat good food and drink good drinks. May you get to enjoy good music, a good book or a good film/show. Whatever your pastime is. That you can enjoy more of your culture, traditions and customs. Perhaps experience another that interests you.

May you get to experience more opportunities that the world has to offer, from the beauty in nature and the beauty that man is capable of. May you get to be creative or master a craft that takes your fancy. There is nothing quite like doing something with your hands or mind. Knowing that you are capable, that you can do something.

All the best for the New Year ahead.

Upnor Castle is an Elizabethan artillery fort located on the west bank of the River Medway in Kent.

The fort was intended to protect both the dockyard and ships of the Royal Navy anchored in the Medway. It was constructed between 1559 and 1567 on the orders of Elizabeth I, during a period of tension with Spain and other European powers. The castle consists of a two-storeyed main building protected by a curtain wall and towers, with a triangular gun platform projecting into the river. It was garrisoned by about 80 men with a peak armament of around 20 cannon of various calibres.

I'm tired of being told that I have to cater to the unreasonable people and bullies out there.

Those people need to learn some stoicism so they don't get offended all the time or think of themselves as victims because they feel offended.

Or even just the concept that you consider the other persons experiences and knowledge, and then you can say "It seemed so to him/her." (Epictetus) when you hear their opinions. Even when you think someone is wrong. Empathy is an important skill and it goes both ways.
