ChatGPT is getting scary good… 😬

[BAKOON @BAKKOOONN]

wall them in. lets see how long they last in there

@willmenaker

[thomas violence @thomas_violence]

it's extremely dope that we automated creative expression before we automated cleaning toilets and roofing and road work and stuff. good order to do it in i reckon

[Wild Geerters @steinkobbe]

Over on bluecheck twitter it's still considered an incisive observation that the news changes from day to day

[Leon Oskam @astraldisaster]

@Cactrot I can send you an invite in the next couple of weeks if you don't have one already by then. Don't currently have any more available but they give one out every 2 weeks I believe.

[Leon Oskam @astraldisaster]

@steinkobbe Sure. But what if it was also a dating site? Think about it.

[Leon Oskam @astraldisaster]

Imagine getting paid millions of dollars and your main job is to post shit like this. And also, no, it won't.

[Linda Yaccarino @lindayaX]

X is the future state of unlimited interactivity – centered in audio, video, messaging, payments/banking – creating a global marketplace for ideas, goods, services, and opportunities. Powered by AI, X will connect us all in ways we’re just beginning to imagine.

irony is dead

[Leon Oskam @astraldisaster]

@StemLongStem If I get my hands on some at some point I'll shoot one your way. We got the Sonemic account invited so hopefully we will get some invites through that eventually (but I still have no personal account either, even though I signed myself up before I signed up the Sonemic email).

@Cactrot

[Leon Oskam @astraldisaster]

@Cactrot It's pretty cool your legal system is ultimately built around a small group of old people who are in a unique position to make life better for tens of millions of people and who then constantly go out of their way to do the exact opposite of that.

[Leon Oskam @astraldisaster]

American news media is unrelentingly bleak, but this is some next level shit. The NYT op ed section casually pointing out that you could solve your student debt problem by being dead. Great life hack. Solves a lot of other problems too.

[Ed Zitron @edzitron]

no it doesn't

[regular steve albini @electricalWSOP]

Make a list circa mid-80s: Morrisey, Lydon, Rick Astley.
Kinda nuts who turned out the best by a mile.

[Eve Fairbanks @evefairbanks]

Somebody simply has to write the ultimate catch-all essay on disruptive, libertarian, private-sector-touting entrepreneurs simply begging and demanding for state intervention at the end of their journeys. (This is the Titan sub company's adviser.)

[illy bocean @IllyBocean]

some people are born losers, and you can tell because no amount of being in charge, being in a dominant position or getting exactly what they want can make them feel like a winner. which is why we get this shit

[Mikel Jollett @Mikel_Jollett]

Instead of bringing scientists on podcasts, how about we force podcasters to prove they can do basic science?

Do you know what “double-blind” means, my dude?

Can you define p-value, bro?

Without googling it, give me the basics of polymerization.

Can’t do it? You lose.

[Sridhar Ramesh @RadishHarmers]

Everything is "secret code" when you fire all the people who were familiar with the code.

[Leon Oskam @astraldisaster]

The fact that everyone keeps referring to LLM as "AI" truly is giving every politician and journalist brain worms. It's fancy predictive text. Why not cut out the middleman and just tell people self-diagnose by looking up their symptoms on WebMD.

[The Labour Party @UKLabour]

Artificial intelligence can free up staff and provide better and faster care for patients.

Only Labour will bring our health service into the digital age and make it fit for the future.
