So are Reddit and Stack Overflow going to start sharing the money they are making from licensing to large language models with the people who actually wrote the content they are licensing?

@thomasfuchs I can’t imagine what a paradise it would be if we also got quotes.

Big Spidey Vibes

@micahflee Time to flip it to private?

@thomasfuchs Federated social media and being my own admin FTW.

Elmo finally pulled my legacy @verified checkmark.

To celebrate, I have now (finally) made this account private.

You can find me over at https://metasocial.com/jesse.

Sometime last year, we figured out that I've got some kind of gluten issue. While at Disney Land a week ago, I decided to throw caution to the wind and had both a churro and a corn dog.

I greatly regret my actions and am continuing to learn my lesson. At least until next time. Ugh.

Mastodon, what should I read next? I’m looking for engaging Sci-Fi.

With the way things are going, a future version of GPT is going to be able to role-play as a website.

And you’d better believe that I’m going to ask it to pretend to be Google Reader every morning.

@timbray I'm seeing this today:

@timbray Or maybe some minute environmental difference is triggering it. Large Language Models are Weeeeird.

Do I know anyone who has a connection to the FDIC's backend ops team? There's a misconfiguration in the claims filing portal that, while not a security risk, really ought to get fixed before Monday.

Is there a website out there that, when provided with a youtube link, will render a transcript of the video as a simple webpage?

@evan What would a news aggregator connected to the fediverse like that look like?

@thomasfuchs Ooh. I've never seen a use of Mini-A to MIni-A before.

When a product comes with a pair of these cables, you know it’s going to be fun.

@thomasfuchs this showed up in my feeds and seems potentially of interest to you https://opticexplorer.sharedigm.com/

@thomasfuchs It’s maybe 7 years old. And when it showed up, it was clearly a return that had been banged up. The vendor refunded us in full and told us to dispose of it. As an $800 fake Eames chair, it’s bad. As a free chair, it’s ok.

Welp. The knockoff Eames chair finally failed.

@mwichary I don’t think I knew about the command bar. It feels a lot like a Leap key.
