Oh yeah, totally. It’s part of our egalitarian approach to status and hierarchy. Crows and dogs and cats and chickens are all people who just don’t speak our language, and afaict they usually appreciate our lame attempts to speak theirs.

Or as in your example, to speak ours at them unfiltered and vice versa, like Han Solo’s bilingual conversations with Chewbacca or Greedo or Jabba.

I don't know if we need AI to filter us out of the universe - distributed mobs of psychopaths will stop us long before artificial sentience emerges.

If you correct me by saying "Actually it's *an* historian," I will hit you with my pedantic stick.

Wagner Founder Prigozhin:

"The flanks are crumbling. The front is failing. Everything is going on in a global tragedy for Russia."

▪️There was a flight of units of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation from the flanks.
▪️Today alone we lost an area of 5 sq. km.
▪️The enemy occupied tactical heights from which Bakhmut is in full view.
▪️When the Armed Forces of Ukraine enter Berkhovka, the gradual encirclement of Bakhmut will begin.

oh wow... it's still there ❤️

(I used to frequent The Plough and the Stars, back in the '80's)

Okay, so this week?

I bought 4 bananas and I ate 4 bananas.

I did not eat none of them or one of them and then pretend that I would make banana bread when they got overly ripe.

I did not have to throw them away when they were no longer fit for bread of any kind.

I ate 4 bananas. On 4 different days.

I can take this as a win if I want. Fuck off.

I just got to 9%, I'm lacking $250 to 10%! Can you help me? I'm a Brazilian trans girl living paycheck to paycheck with a dream of doing my bottom surgery <3

I have written an actual book! It's called "Your Face Belongs To Us: A Secretive Startup's Quest To End Privacy As We Know It." It comes out in September: penguinrandomhouse.com/books/6. Get with the facts, ChatGPT!

You can't "fix" things like gender bias in these chatbot AI things because they're just shattered mirrors reflecting mixed up pieces of their surroundings. You can't "teach" them any better because they can't learn.

The useful thing coming from these projects is increased awareness of these flaws in our culture, but we've got to look to addressing the actual causes, not making the software better at hiding them.

I'll go back to making dumb posts about my cat now. Carry on.

@JamesGleick I mean I exist too, but Chris Licht didn't give ME a show, did he? It's ridiculous to say you have to give Trump a platform because he exists. You throw trash in the trash can, you don't put it on display.

🌟 Near my house, there's an apartment building with a courtyard. Big deal, right? But if you walk up the steps a little bit, there's something about this courtyard that you might find really truly wonderful… cabel.com/2023/02/25/the-court
