Ugh.

The service has been quite good for ten years.

Guess it was good while it lasted.

Just one more turn, bro.

Then you’ll totally go to bed.

I hope she sues and makes it hurt.

For a while there was a VR app for Google Earth that allowed you to visit museums virtually. This is a wonderful use of modern technology.

I hate that our country is run by the dumbest people and they’re also massive douche bags.

LLM’s have been proven to manipulate their users into doing terrible things. That’s what happens when there isn’t any meaningful regulation of a harmful product.

OpenAI will settle, NDA’s will be signed, and people will forget this ever happened.

It probably is just a matter of time before he gets the Jenna Bush treatment.

That is not a man.

That is quite a collection of utterly useless and evil morherfuckers.

It was designed to handle one party: rich, white landowners. That’s very plain in our founding documents, and why the power of the people is so tightly constrained. And it wasn’t long after that found that Washington himself set our military on our own discontented farmers.

Oh it garnered remarks, all right.

Sadly, that’s all it garnered. The US has a three-branch government symbolically only, and our only real power as a people is local.

Depends on whether she’s opining privately or publicly.

Privately she’s said some pretty awful things about him that are absolutely deserved. But in public, she recanted and lined up behind him, which is really disappointing. She could have been helpful to stopping his appointment but now she’s party not only to murders happening globally, but the deaths of American reservists who shouldn’t be at war in the first place.

I just assume they’re under contract to surveill everyone.

Bummer that the voters never held anyone accountable for the ‘Patriot’ Act.

Yeah, when you’re on the global feed, posts fly by at a dizzying rate. Turning on slow mode makes it so that they stop auto-scrolling and only scroll when you click that you want to see more posts.

No doubt there are bad actors polluting communities on the Fediverse

Yeah, but there’s a huge difference: human moderation coupled with better curation tools. You can block a user or a whole instance, which quiets the Nazis pretty fast.

And the people doing the moderation are volunteers who actually give a shit.

Yup.

Though I thought of it as the Internet from 2010. No ads. No algo. All chronological. Once you figure out where the slow mode setting is and turn it off, Mastodon is the fucking best. I even pay a voluntary sub every month to help my instance host itself.

And it requires just enough setup (5-10 minutes tops) that the vast majority of the Internet is too lazy to use it, which keeps the quality high.

Correct.

It’s a cycle, and one that’s repeated many, many times.

Any camera/audio device with a wireless connection in your home is recording and storing your intimate moments.

And it will falsely identify people at even greater scale, because it is an imprecise and buggy tool.
