If ChatGPT gets erased and rescanned with new stuff, I can see different “flavors” popping up to replace it. For example: Conservative GPT, no content related to trans, evolution, or climate change. Vetted Wikipedia entries only.

I used it extensively to help me code my PHP for an art portfolio site. Briefly thought about using 11ty but needed to put something up quick after being laid off and I knew PHP.

For the most part it was good. It was really good at creating simple functions for me. My issue came when I asked it to build me a JS lightbox in Bootstrap. i wanted it to look a certain way so I had to edit my prompt multiple times because it would edit the code and “forget” my previous modification. Ended up using someone else’s JS code.

It was incredibly frustrating. It’s powerful, but still limited.

Would it be better to edit posts and change them to nonsense? Random poems, list of dog breeds, song lyrics, random SQL code…

How about instead of deleting, you edit the comment so it’s taken completely out of context. Nonsense words, random poems, list of colors, etc.

Ok alright. Even with the whole Reddit debacle and obvious attention/traffic grab…r/place seems to be working. I just spent 4 minutes staring little pixel details now present in day 2.

Probably the best collaborative creative idea to come from Reddit.

With Google’s support for webp i wonder if they will reinstate support for jpg xl in Chrome…?

The first I heard of these devices was to help old people make the religious pilgrimage to a temple in the mountains of Japan. My skeptic self wondered about military applications and how it was going to get twisted right away

EXACTLY THIS. it’s a really good parrot and anybody who thinks they can fire all their human staff and replace with ChatGPT is in for a world of hurt.

I’ve always wondered how Mozilla / Firefox makes money? I see that its a non-profit. Looks like sponsored links and content on their new tab?

“We’ll let you have Call of Duty if we can get God of War and Last of Us. We’ll sweeten the pot with Fallout 6 if you give us Horizon Zero Dawn.”

It was so embarrassing watching the dinosaurs running the US government interview Zuck over privacy when they had no idea how Facebook as a business worked. We really need a tech task force that consists of people who are computer-literate.

We’re still negative cash flow, due to ~50% drop in advertising revenue plus heavy debt load. Need to reach positive cash flow before we have the luxury of anything else.

And now Elon gets to play the same game that every other social network plays. Will be interesting to see how he reacts.

Probably lack of marketing. It just is what it is. If you want to see what the latest #dance is or #icebucketchallenge, that’s probably on TikTok, Instagram, or Twitter…it’s easier for influencers to monetize their content.

Whoosh

Drink chicken soup and watch Groundhog Day

The subreddit I visit the most is r/nba. With it being the off-season, it’s really easy for me to use Reddit less and less every day. Those twats left a bad taste in my mouth anyways. They all protested the mods after not participating in the blackout survey and then proceeded to call the mods names for 2 days and then business back to normal.

Having nowhere to discuss the league championships during the blackout, they started their own sub r/nbatalk. A handful will never go back, but we will see how long that lasts. The majority of r/nba are shitposters anyways.

So, anybody know Taylor Swift?

“We demand the unpaid volunteers that aren’t listening to us to do as we say or we will find new unpaid volunteers who will replace you and spend their free time deleting posts and comments!”
