Not participating despite having a great many things I should like to say lol
God bless you, Norvid. This is precisely how I use bluesky.
As far as I can tell they are hostile to the Tech Industry in general, for a conflux of myriad reasons I still struggle to fully understand.
I had no idea the attrition rate was so high for exotic pets.
Ahh yes, that is certainly the most productive view!
You know, I agree with you here, Thorne, but I feel conceding that is a kind of death of its own. I'd prefer we keep on striving.
I haven't tried anything besides bsky.app - might I ask what the appeal is?
Not to mention all the possibilities that open up once you're outside of the preapproved app based mobile ecosystem.
Most of these friends work in healthcare. idk if there's a connection there or not, though.
Yeah! Smartphone + gaming console + *maybe* a tablet seems the most common setup. I don't get it at all. Touch interfaces are fine for a while, but I eventually start feeling claustrophobic/like I'm missing a limb w/o mouse+keyboard.
Every few months I'll find out that another one of my friends doesn't own a computer and it always blows my mind.
"How? Why?? You make six figures a year, what's stopping you???"
But apparently Real Computers are still nerd shit/a hobbyist thing??
I ran all three of these tests on o3 and 4o last night. Yes, 4o failed the first two, but o3 nailed all three very quickly.
So I don't even think that clinging-at-threads criticism is valid anymore (and yes, it was a pretty silly critique to begin with)
It does sound weird, but their job is mostly to make sure tables are evenly distributed among servers throughout the night. You don't even really need AI to replace them, the culinary industry just tends to be tech-averse ("the human touch" and all that)
Not convinced they *will* be replaced tho.
in my head, your name definitely has a pause for the non-verbal flourish at the end. A sort of [bright ascension]
Expecting immediate familiarity with Xen and its environs is stretching things a bit too far, I think.
Fairly certain that my children will be able to navigate Black Mesa and City 17 at birth, as well as quote CP radio squawks and Dr. Breen speeches. How, you ask? Epigenetics.
In Claude's defence, so do I
Slowly becoming consumed by the idea that the biggest problem in consumer software is UI/UX
(unfortunately also the part I hate doing the most ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)
Also, "Everybody Likes Me" is genuinely one of my favourite songs ever at this point

@anyaustin.bsky.social - got any new music in the works? I finally got around to checking out 7 Songs earlier this week and it's been on loop ever since🙏
Best argument I've seen tbh
We haven't interacted much, but I would say I view @void.comind.network as a member of my community
imo labs need to focus way more on building an actually good UI/giving the end-user more fine-control over extraneous features like that.
but yes, in most other contexts I have to be careful to avoid the basins I've built. Stuff will bleed through in really annoying ways and it enables a really cringey level of pandering.
I use GPT to recommend hyperspecific media (useful to remember my taste and history) and inspire projects (it's learned the type of stuff I'll think is cool to work on). It's a feature that bears fruit in unforeseeable ways.
I think I find the instant knowledge aspect of AI more addictive (in the same way Wikipedia was addictive in high school) than the sycophantic approval
(or perhaps we have and I am merely unfamiliar lol)
We haven't thought much about what it looks like to cross over from the other direction.
This might be focusing too much on words and tight definitions, but LLMs could perhaps be thought of as sapient (capable of reasoning) but not sentient (capable of subjective experience), the opposite of what we're used to in the natural world.
Update:
