Large language models (#LLMs, e.g. ChatGPT) may be able to counteracting #conspiracytheories. LLMs can respond to individuals’ specific #reasoning & they cannot be overwhelmed with mistruths but cite counter-#evidence indefinitely: science.org/doi/10.1126/scienc #science #communication

#Signal Is More Than #Encrypted #Messaging. Under #MeredithWhittaker, It’s Out to Prove #SurveillanceCapitalism Wrong
On its 10th anniversary, Signal’s president wants to remind you that the world’s most secure communications platform is a nonprofit. It’s #free. It doesn’t track you or serve you ads. It pays its engineers very well. And it’s a go-to app for hundreds of millions of people. wired.com/story/meredith-whitt #privacy #Surveillance

Thank you for this day. 🌇

What’s right for you may not work for someone else and vice versa. Do what works for you.

According to the "Terminator" film franchise, TODAY is the day that Skynet became self-aware, took over, and started its campaign to destroy humanity. The good news is that instead we have garbage like #Google Gemini that can't even answer questions like "When was Kamala Harris born?"

So we're probably safe from Skynet for now.

Adding payments to the fediverse will be critical to broader adoption and the health of the ecosystem, so I’m really excited about what we’re starting today. Make sure to check out the sub.club API at www.sub.club.

Hello fediverse!

This morning we shipped an exciting new version of #Flipboard that enables *anyone* on Flipboard to follow *anyone* in the fediverse.

This is the culmination of a ton of work to deeply integrate #ActivityPub into the product. The result is incredibly seamless.

Just tap on the search icon in Flipboard and tap the follow button for anyone featured there or that you find in search. You’ll soon start seeing their posts in all of your relevant Flipboard feeds.

Check the screenshots below and read this post to learn more:

Immutable Linux with flatpak is okish. Immutable with #flatpak, #brew and automated updates is rocket fuel. Kudos #Bluefin #Linux

I learned this morning that a good friend killed herself. I underestimated the pain she was enduring. It's not my fault, I know. And it wasn't also hers. She wrote a lot about feeling apart, misunderstood, overwhelmed by a gifted sensibility she couldn't control. Without her, her immense creativity, her atypical personality, her laugh that night when we talked about the stars and the beautiful foolishness of spirituality, the world is suddenly less joyful. I'll miss her so much. Take care.

There's been a bit of a ruckus about Firefox 128 enabling "privacy-preserving attribution".

One property that gets stressed a lot is that this it *not* user tracking, but attribution: advertisers only get data about their ads, not about users.

But what does that mean? đź§µ
