@mattpocockuk @Baconbrix No lie, I sometimes start my prompts with "You are Matt Pocock's top protege" and get better results 🤷

[James Tharpe @jamestharpe]

@Ask_WellsFargo Tried that before, it's not helpful.

[James Tharpe @jamestharpe]

Wells Fargo: Want to send ACH payments? Even though it's free with every other bank, we charge $10/month.

Also @WellsFargo

[James Tharpe @jamestharpe]

@Ask_WellsFargo I just expect that when I pay for a typically free service it actually works.

@IsaacKing314 Android user here 🙋‍♂️

I use One Drive. All photos are automatically synced, so I don't do anything. If a photo is on my phone, it's also available on my computer without any further action.

[James Tharpe @jamestharpe]

Gotta love customer support.

@WellsFargo support: You can only send money to accounts you own.
Me: What is money for if I can't pay people with it?
Wells Fargo support: Please hold.

20 minutes later and I'm still on hold.

@NickHodges Maybe we'll be printing a lot of money? ♾️

[James Tharpe @jamestharpe]

@NotionHQ @Just___Isaac We could already do this though? I still don't understand.

@cscottward After each school shooting.

[James Tharpe @jamestharpe]

@cscottward They did though? Before he was shot, while the shooting was occurring, after he was shot...

Just asked ChatGPT 5 to analyze a simple CSV file. It came back with 100% fabricated data. Switched to o3 and produced accurate results. Why is GPT5 consistently so much less capable than "legacy" models?

[James Tharpe @jamestharpe]

@NickHodges It's pretty clear they won't do anything.

@davefuller Wut

[James Tharpe @jamestharpe]

@automattic Disabling revisions is a core feature of WordPress though

[James Tharpe @jamestharpe]

@davefuller You have to block, block, block. Ever since Elon took over, the right wing propaganda is really tough to avoid.

[James Tharpe @jamestharpe]

@borisglumpler @PovilasKorop It would have to have the right people and sponsorship behind it,. for sure. No easy task.

[James Tharpe @jamestharpe]

@f10et @verygoodplugins @photomatt I can't help but wonder if Matt's having a breakdown or episode and that maybe we should be approaching it compassionately, despite the destruction he's causing.

[James Tharpe @jamestharpe]

@borisglumpler @PovilasKorop I predict a fork. We'll move forward with WordPress, but with rational governance and different name.

[DHH @dhh]

So I'll reaffirm my wish that WordPress finds a way out of this mess. And Matt too. Even Automattic. I don't think people are irredeemable, and I know how stressful it can be to be under siege. But you have to stop digging to get out of a hole.
