we need a measurement unit for AI-related stuff: I propose the "DeltaJoy" (∆J or dJ), as in "percentage of daily joie de vivre lost forever" (can be factional, can go over 100) es: "have you seen that Dario Amodei interview? that shit was at least a 95∆J..." this one here would be a 0.5-1.1 ∆J

@pivot-to-ai.com.web.brid.gy something wrong with your account, is it some new BSKY tomfuckery (updated my app today)? cannot see your "David Girard" account anymore

stesso motivo per cui ho smesso di usare termometri, spesso mi fanno venire la febbre!

second this a million times: old 4th Gen Kindle + jailbreak + Koreader (+cheap screen protector just in case) is the ultimate battle e-reader powerhouse, at ~20€ cost overall

this is *sweet* this guy "writes" an essay on "AI in astrophysics", rakes praise for the "powerful writing" and some money in donations. people start to point out how the piece has "strong indicators" (euphemism) of being entirely written by Claude, comment about it, get immediately blocked :D

@edent.tel just for the counters, I've got the *secret post* :)

meanwhile, npm is doing *great* www.stepsecurity.io/blog/axios-c... (@davidgerard.co.uk will be interesting to understand how the account of the *main maintainer of Axios* was compromised)

BREAKING CHRISTMAS NEWS: Kevin McCallister confirmed nephew of John McClane (so, so many things finally make sense)

"...are these... pollsters in the room with us? 😑"

late to the party, but I've realized that - for how much I try to actively avoid AI generated content - my brain now knows this nice new feeling of being *sick to my stomach* at the very beginning of reading a piece of content when the markers of AI make show up (usually, pretty much immediately)

"... FIVE MILLION DAILY USERS!" screams the guy who poisoned London's aqueduct

@foldablehuman.bsky.social now that you're done with Silksong, time for "Line Goes Up 2.0" www.wheresyoured.at/the-case-aga...

so, in a move I heavily struggle to comprehend, Google recently removed from Maps - the possibility to filter results by "open now" - the possibility to sort results by distance, instead of "relevance" (aka "trust us bro" sorting) thus rendering the app 98% useless. suggested alternatives?

and using those chips as collateral to get more loans to (mostly) buy more chips... what could go wrong?!

in un mondo di squares, il pentagono era probabilmente una DEI hire

these are times of endless bitterness @davidgerard.co.uk

see, @davidgerard.co.uk ?! it *does* work!

A curious aspect of modern "AIs" is that 95% of people talking about it have no clue about how they work, hence literally treat them as magic

well, of course @davidgerard.co.uk
