Ahahaha this is the funniest joke I’ve seen so far this year. 😂

[Douglas A. Boneparth @dougboneparth]

I like jokes.

But jokes about air conditioners?

Not a fan.

Can a person really read “everything”? What about things in other languages? Anyway, this book is piquing my curiosity. 🐎

In a recent effort to declutter my inbox, I’ve clicked Unsubscribe in every email from LinkedIn like this. I don’t even know how or when I’d agreed to receivin such spam in the first place… Upside: now I know I’m finally old enough not to care about who’s watchin me anymore. 🫠

LinkedIn is really trying to sell Premium.

Nice post! I had a fight w ChtGPT yestrday cuz it refused2remain neutral on a slightly controvrsial issu &just regurgitated the dominant view in Westrn media. I gave up at last &went2talk2Grok instead. Sth's wrong w ChtGPT. It used2just like preachin but now is proudly partisan..

English translation of a Slovenian podcast on artificial humanities discussing
- cultural AI issues
- women-authored SciFi
- labor market with AI agents
- why interdisciplinary is crucial for science
- why some discoveries happen in the backwater of scientific pursuits

@michaelkosicki I can’t remember—probably just something about myself etc.

Lately I've grown increasingly annoyed by ChatGPT's hallucination, verbosity & eagerness to censor/preach, so I've switched to Gemini&Grok for a change. So far I'm loving them both!🫡 A truly refreshing experience! As a user, I think ChatGPT has forgotten what it's meant to be.🙄

Let’s see if @Grok 5 can beat the best human team @LeagueOfLegends in 2026 with these important constraints:

1. Can only look at the monitor with a camera, seeing no more than what a person with 20/20 vision would see.

2. Reaction latency and click rate no faster than human.

Join @xAI if you are interested in solving this element of AGI.

Note, Grok 5 is designed to be able to play any game just by reading the instructions and experimenting.

These days I find myself increasingly bothered by the hard-to-see mouse pointer on macOS. Then I found out that it could actually be customized. So I made myself a super visible one lol. How I miss the fancy pointers I used to play with as a kid on Windows!

Randomly came across a very interesting new book. 🐎 https://t.co/dCwUeToeWa

[Julio Song @JulioSongC]

I organized an invited crash course on prompt engineering in the last few days, and, as usual, wrote a blog post to record my afterthoughts. 😃👉 https://t.co/AcKvEjXfyQ

An interesting new mentioning of linguistics in the mass media. 👉We’re close to translating animal languages – what happens then? https://t.co/GT7oJfvh2y

My BA English reading group has just wrapped up on a happy note, and here’s my last memo post! 😃👉https://t.co/ivXmOaZi30

Today I randomly discovered that I could directly draw arrows when annotating PDFs in Preview on macOS... so convenient! #Preview #macOS #PDF

I wrote some more reading-group afterthoughts. 😃👉 Will AI ever become truly multimodal? https://t.co/OSLutgFUkt

[Julio Song @JulioSongC]

I came across this piece randomly today and read it with much interest (though the title is a bit cheeky for my taste). I might go on to read the biography mentioned in it next (The Man From The Future). 🐎

ChatGPT is just great at everything now, including backhanded compliments... 😂
