@bruces perplexity blowing up the consensus

@skinnylatte mingalaba?

@bruces you will have a kind of immortality if you don't

@bruces but, I mean, you could.

@bruces sometimes you just want a window into someone’s taste

@bruces feel like I have no clear grasp of what cybernetics was about except that quote about the purpose of a system being what it does. An artifact of it losing the funding war.

@clarity feel like the fact that an LLM isn’t & cannot be a person is kind of a fundamental distinction there tho? Unless all LLMs are just mechanical turks…

@annika I tried Jellyfin, had to give it up for Plex b/c of jankiness. (Sigh) good luck!

@inthehands I hope it can be turned into an actual researched post mortem by someone. Anecdata, but I've seen various "how to Mastodon" guides float around twitter - just the sort of thing the author is bemoaning. I'vem also seen people not want to join Mastodon specifically *because* there's so much noise about how masto/the fediverse should be organized. We have such small windows on social media experiences, they must be quantified!
