Maybe we are on the cusp of AGI…

I just saw an ad for an “AI Lottery Coach” with a 95% accuracy prediction rate.

They’ve just raised the tax on being bad at math.

As these assholes continue to undercut NATO, it’s important for Americans to remember that the only time Article 5 was invoked was in response to the 9/11 attacks on the U.S. Thank you Ali Velshi for reminding us of this. #uspol

How to enrage* nerds.

Step 1, attached.

There is no Step 2.

* Or perhaps amuse.

Thinking of having poutine and tacos in solidarity.

People born in the 1900s have a quite coherent shared sense of reality because of the shared media experiences we had.

Much of the present world is inexplicable when measured against this shared understating.

I’m seeing more awareness in the public sphere (social media posts, content, memes) that people are getting the consequences of a fragmented information sphere yielding fragmented realities.

This is a big part of why it feels like everything is changing at once.

I’m especially happy tonight to be on a platform not run by a billionaire dickhead. #fediverse

Accurate definition of AI initiatives expressed as a chiasmus:

Thing I said today in my API Design workshop when describing the basic difference between 400 level HTTP response codes and 500 level response codes:

“400s are basically the server telling the client to quit it. Unless you fix the problem the answer stays the same. 500s are basically the server saying, ‘It's me, hi, I'm the problem, it's me’.”

😂

It wasn’t intentional, I just went there on the fly without conscious intent.

It’s her world and we live in it.

@lain Maybe it was artistic license because nothing rhymes with Spätzle. 😂

My favorite EPL teams:

These companies are losing their damn minds. Commercial software and cloud-hosting are non-viable without the notion of privacy and data ownership.

I think the #fediverse is the kind of thing that has to happen to a social system like the Internet to force you to be engaged, more self-sufficient, and not reliant upon the largesse of government subsidies and vampiric commercial entities.

We have to drive it to keep it.

@LittleTokyo I want to say Shane MacGowan was in the ball park. Popular, gravelly voice, story teller, wrote great songs.

If things stop working for awhile in a bit, you’ll know why:
