hypercard is an example of making programming easier. it made systematic, predictable interactivity *more accessible* to folks, by making it possible for people to *do programming* in a different way. blocks-based programming is a similar deal. its still programming. you still have to work through the logic and tune your approach to get the desired outcome. you are still crafting. just not with lines-of-code as the interface. AI IS NONE OF THIS.

@FreakyFwoof I once got a call pretending to be Microsoft, had detected a problem on my computer and needed to remote fix (I was all in on Mac but never mind that!).

I played along until they wanted me to go to a web site and provide some credentials. I asked “Should I disconnect from the reactor first?”. He was puzzled, and I explained that I was in the control room of Heysham Nuclear Power Station and the PC ran Reactor Control software.

I just got an amazon scammer on the phone, calling to tell me that' An order was placed for Apple iPhone'
and they were *supposedly* calling to confirm it.
Of course most people go 'No no it wasn't me of course not, what do I do?'
To which they would take over my machine and do unspeakable things.
I just said 'Yep, I placed that order'
and totally derailed the script.
All he could do was hang up.
tosswank!

Foxes improve civil infrastructure, that is a fact

@edd @djsundog @cwebber 🎶​ I'm going to fight the slop! A seven-asses agent couldn't hold me back! 🎶​

@djsundog @cwebber They have to have 7 asses. Where else do you think all that slop comes from? It's just common sense!

@cwebber “and what if, stay with me here, what if we decide that Ai agents have seven asses each? It would make sense for each agent to then require seven seats, right? That’s just common sense! Will you be putting this on a credit card or do you want our wire transfer info?”
