Casey Newton @caseynewton.bsk... 3h This is one of the most-shared posts on Bluesky in the past day and it's just completely false. You might think ChatGPT is a *bad* search engine, or prefer another search engine. But it has had integrated web search since last year. Ann Leckie @annleckie.com 17h Say it after me: Chat GPT is not a search engine. It does not scan the web for information, it just generates statistically likely sentences. You cannot use it a search engine, or as a substitute for searching. Now. Please never use an LLM for information searches ever again.

"Hey man don't try to use Jester Mail, it seems like it's just an empty room with a Jester that attacks you"

"Literally how dare you say that when it is an objective FACT that if you successfully avoid his traps and subdue and/or trick the Jester, he might mail your package"

I see an opportunity for either Testosterone Twednesday or Westosterone Wednesday

They were delicious!!!

Ate the magic cups for the find the ball trick 😞

It took me a very long time to learn "do your best" does not mean "give 100% effort even at the expense of your physical or mental health" or "give A+ effort even when it is clearly not appreciated or valued". Sometimes doing your best is heating up a can of soup and going to bed early.

OK I skimmed your art but lil birb friend might be my favorite. All the bird bortos for them

You know how sometimes as non-binary folks, we do the thing where we give/claim several pronouns including some to make it easier for (probably cis) people to not misgender us?

I don't think we have an official term for this, so I am going to suggest we call them: courtesy pronouns.

... AMAZING. The idea that technology can do what it's doing right now is incredible!!!

But at the cost of our intelligence, creativity, and planet? Idk bruh it's like. Wrong time wrong execution.

... to actually physically support the tech LLMs need.

BUT no one did. And I don't believe anyone anyone with the power to make "ethical ai" (whatever that would actually be) actually cares about who they're taking data from or the environmental impact.

Like on paper, LLMs are...

Oh boy, I love opinions.

My hot take? LLMs could have been done right. Emphasis on COULD.

At the dawn of the technology, the developers could have asked "how can we get data that isn't stealing?" Sure it would have taken longer, but maybe we would have had the infrastrure...

I'm most excited to play oblivion bc the saturation is more than .1%

The way I need this irl 😫

Post your gender in gif form :3

Listen i try not to ask for much, but the fact that I can't access my emoji keyboard on bsky is killing me. Sure I can try to describe the emoji and get it suggested, but I don't know what half these guys are. I just wanna type 🥺 w/o knowing what it's called or opening another app

😍 😍 😍

We all make mistakes sometimes. It's ok to be in the uncomfortable feeling, as long as you know you're still valuable. If anyone tries telling you you're dumb ill eat them

An infographic titled “How To Write Alt Text” featuring a photo of a capybara. Parts of alt text are divided by color, including identify who, expression, description, colour, and interesting features. The finished description reads “A capybara looking relaxed in a hot spa. Yellow yuzu fruits are floating in the water, and one is balanced on the top of the capybara’s head.” Credit to Puzzle agency, original information from Veronica With Four Eyes and veroniiiica dot com

I’m glad so many people have found my “capybara method” for how to write alt text and image descriptions helpful! However, I know conflicting access needs exist and not everyone can write their own #AltText, so here’s an ongoing thread of tools that can help. Inclusion in thread ≠ endorsement

Always love a good, truly alien-looking robot. This is for inspection, and can unfold to manipulate its environment and open doors.
