Father, accounting researcher, linguistics nerd. Male. Inflect as you see fit; grammatical gender'll be stone dead in a moment...

Lord Stanley’s Cup is coming back to North Carolina! What a team! What a year! Pure joy!

Whoa, I hadn’t noticed the “Ask…” option in the little cursor menu. Can switch to ChatGPT. I asked ChatGPT to set a timer and it knew how to hand that off to Siri.

[Mark Gurman @markgurman]

It’s easier than ever to use ChatGPT - and in the future other third-party AI models installed via the App Store - inside of Siri and the Siri app. All the prep work is in there for Siri to be a platform for both Apple’s own AI and rival options.

Binge watching the old Recess cartoon for TJmaxxing

[Michael Harris 🇺🇸 @maharris77]

Bet it’s weird to be a guy named Max Xing right now.

Also: In a twist of tweeting fate, Xing can be both a surname (rising tone) and the actual word “surname” (falling tone).

[Michael Harris 🇺🇸 @maharris77]

Minnmaxxing should be @MN_Chamber’s or @CityMinneapolis’s whole thing

[Michael Harris 🇺🇸 @maharris77]

This is such a cool angle.
Go Canes!

I love how this headline reads so scandal-coded while not being one

NEW: A second former Capitol staffer has confirmed a past romantic relationship with Democrat Senate candidate James Talarico https://t.co/U46q2wHxRU

[Michael Harris 🇺🇸 @maharris77]

Spatial Reframing for photos is crazy (Apple OS betas later today)

[Michael Harris 🇺🇸 @maharris77]

Policing interpretations of the Bible to define Talarico as part of an outgroup relative to ingroup of vaguely defined Bible-Republicans, while today (not incorrectly IMO) annoyed at others’ insistence on doing the same to his faith. Silly in both cases!

sorry, man, they don't love you like that

@DrWumbology I haven’t said it works for me. Jury might still be out on that one.

[Michael Harris 🇺🇸 @maharris77]

@DrWumbology (I don’t mean this as a positive)

[Michael Harris 🇺🇸 @maharris77]

@DrWumbology Plenty of things look problematic once the truth claims aren’t taken as given, so a mental model where belief is enforced so that people don’t start thinking that way is, at least, plausible!

[Michael Harris 🇺🇸 @maharris77]

@DrWumbology We should definitely stop doing the problematic things you describe, and probably a bunch of other things, too.

[Michael Harris 🇺🇸 @maharris77]

@DrWumbology Fully agreed. I’m leaving my personal degree of belief/in/out intentionally vague (besides saying “we”) and limiting my point to just: I’d like to see people allowed full participation without belief if they want that.

No claim here about how fulfilling any option is vs. others!

[Michael Harris 🇺🇸 @maharris77]

@DrWumbology A lack of ability to simply choose to believe (a skill issue, or honesty) is as disqualifying to witness a loved one’s sealing as breaking covenants. It bothers me.

[Michael Harris 🇺🇸 @maharris77]

@DrWumbology I wish we’d stop moralizing belief per se. Make it fine to say “I don’t know. And I don’t seem to believe. I also won’t/can’t simply synthesize belief by choice. I want to participate in this community anyway.”
That a belief in specific propositions is so prerequisite bothers me.

We’ve been researching new ways for ChatGPT memory to carry context across conversations and keep it useful over time.

Today, that work is rolling out as a more capable memory system in ChatGPT. https://t.co/0MyFKCe2Mu

@polemoskarios You have seen someone who can't be happy. That's not a proof. I have seen this up close with someone who is happy, a counterexample that disproves the broad claim they can't be happy.

Codex bringing sanity to Gmail by setting up good filters🙏

High-value prompt for me: "Help me create a filter in Gmail, or a Gmail tab in Chrome, to label emails related to [org/thing] and especially make prominent the important ones I should read/act on vs extraneous stuff."

[Michael Harris 🇺🇸 @maharris77]

@scottew A whole lot. And it made me a lil' usage tracker/grapher https://t.co/RoJbUv5gA2
