Long time no post, hello again!

I recently talked to a CEO of another tech company and they have a secret, internal safe word they share only when doing large money transfers, because there are so many scams and deepfakes. This is the kinkiest 💩 I have ever heard of 🤯

Today, we lost a visionary.

Gordon Moore, thank you for everything.

I wish more people understood that "I want the computer to generate a natural language text that sounds like a plausible answer to a question about x" and "I want the computer to answer a question about x" are two very different problems.

Getting a lot of questions so to clean up confusion—here’s how to respond when someone wishes you “Ramadan Mubarak”:
•Ramadan Mubarak to you too!
•Ramadan Kareem!
•Khair Mubarak!
•Happy Ramadan!
•I will buy you tacos after Ramadan ends!

So if you were unsure how to reply, you’re welcome.😉 May you all have a blessed and happy month full of peace and service to all humanity. Amen. ❤️

Militant decency.

I feel like this really captures it

Did you know Charles Dickens worked for two midlands newspapers?

It was the Bicester Times, it was the Worcester Times.

I’m old enough to remember the first TED talk.

It was most excellent.

Learned today the ethics team at microsoft's ai division were a bottleneck to getting their ai out, so we're sacked, which bodes really well.

Asking #BorisJohnson if he lied is like asking a tubby dog with brown smears all over its face, in a kitchen covered in brown paw prints, if it stole and ate all the chocolates.
Dog: "I'll admit I ate the chocolates, but I wasn't aware that I was eating them at the time"

Elon Musk recently said, “press@twitter.com now auto responds with 💩”

I had to test this out for myself.

And got 💩 immediately.

Yep, this is the guy that Press continues to legitimize. This is what he thinks of them.

Sunday afternoon fediverse observation - I have been rickrolled more since I joined Mastodon (a few months - 3 times) than I ever was on the other place (14 years - 0 times).

I’m not 100% sure what this says, but I actually quite like it.

I think it’s either that I find the fediverse far more trustworthy (albeit occasionally unwisely) or that people here are more subtle in their implementation.

Anyhoo… thank you for the music.

I see people being deceived by this again and again: ChatGPT can NOT read content from URLs that you give it, but it will pretend that it can (and can be incredibly convincing when it does that)

Constantly debunking this feels like a Sisyphean task, but it's really important to spread this message any time you see anyone falling into this (very understandable) trap

Hey #screenshotsaturday 👋
Made this prototype today, I call it Conway's game of breakout 😜
