@maxleibman which name is the one where if I give to a fairy they can control me?

@thatsten Because when youre a professional piiiiirate....

@TabletopBellhop @georgetakei Yeah, but she's technically correct. The white house press corps did not, in fact, ask Biden any hard hitting questions during lockdowns in 2020 while Trump was president.

They also didnt ask ME any hard hitting questions. Isn't that curious? Just asking questions!

@rmd1023 @da_667 oooh yeah sorry, turns out that chronically not having a good time is actually *more* expensive.

@lauren what superpowers do radioactive shrimp give you? 🤔

@remywhisker @technobaboo Just make sure NTP strikes after all the rest. Im laughing at the mental picture of some other FOSS maintainer waking up late and going "sorry Im late my phone's alarm didnt go off because its time was wrong. Then I couldn't get to the web page because TLS didnt like my clock skew."

@jwildeboer welp, it was nice while it lasted..... Ive been saying that a lot lately. 😓

@foone Yeah I have a lot of bad experiences with interpersonal communication. Thanks for asking job posting!

My daughter, who has had a degree in computer science for 25 years, posted this observation about ChatGPT on Facebook. It's the best description I've seen:

Something that seems fundamental to me about ChatGPT, which gets lost over and over again:
When you enter text into it, you're asking "What would a response to this sound like?"
If you put in a scientific question, and it comes back with a response citing a non-existent paper with a plausible title, using a real journal name and an author name who's written things related to your question, it's not being tricky or telling lies or doing anything at all surprising! This is what a response to that question would sound like! It did the thing!
But people keep wanting the "say something that sounds like an answer" machine to be doing something else, and believing it *is* doing something else.
It's good at generating things that sound like responses to being told it was wrong, so people think that it's engaging in introspection or looking up more information or something, but it's not, it's only, ever, saying something that sounds like the next bit of the conversation.

@fortyseven I mean it worked so well for "HBO Now" I mean "HBO Max" ... wait I mean "Max" wait.....

At least they replaced the woke rainbow peacock with a vaguely American flag pattern like right wing news orgs. 🙄

@dbc3 @GottaLaff A peacock with rainbow feathers? sounds woke. can't have that.

@Tarah @wendynather @deviantollam It works on multiple levels since carbon does lead to a ... hotter atmosphere.
