@kevlin @cwebber described ChatGPT as Mansplaining As A Service, and honestly I can’t think of a better description. A service that instantly generates vaguely plausible sounding yet totally fabricated and baseless lectures at an instant with unflagging confidence in it’s own correctness on any topic, without concern, regard or awareness even of the level of expertise of it’s audience.

If you ever worry that the story you're writing might contain plot holes, just remember that one of the central parts of the story in the Fantastic Beasts movies is such a gaping plot hole, that it's canonically impossible. In production and marketing, they've spent over $945 billion on that movie franchise so far, and it makes no sense at all.

Any plotholes you may have written are not that bad, I promise.

LOL. Divya Gupta is the Sequoia partner who led the FTX investment. He's leaving Sequoia, though it's not clear which floor he's leaving via.

Mike Masnick (@mmasnick)wrote another insightful article unwinding a myriad of misleading claims and allegations around the “Twitter Files” and the Missouri AG’s lawsuit against the Biden Administration: https://www.techdirt.com/2022/12/07/hello-youve-been-referred-here-because-youre-wrong-about-twitter-and-hunter-bidens-laptop/

It's quite easy to get sucked in here at #mastodon.

It was easy to get sucked in, too, at #birdshite, but that was being sucked into a rage-filled argument.

Here one gets sucked in by a magnificent, non-stop parade of beauty, wit & wisdom. One gets sucked in to other peoples' lives and thoughts and worries and concerns. That's because there's no algorithm standing between us all.

And, so, we (finally!) get to meet each other with zero interference from rich guys or boards of directors. All I can say is, I soooooo wish I had met you all sooner..

I want to throw all my computers into a void and escape to the forest and raise chickens and lift heavy things

Excellent response from #NAMI NYC to #MayorAdams move to involuntarily commit people with #MentalHealth issues in NYC. I wrote a long thread a few days ago about my issues with #MayorAdams stance - which are many and based on my son's experience of 'the system' - and this #NAMINYC statement hits all the points of concern to anyone who loves someone struggling with #MentalIllness

It's also "worse than Google" because, at a fundamental level, GPT is the wrong model for fact-based inquiries.

"Its propensity to often generate convincing-looking nonsense should be disqualifying."

Writing is weird.

'Hey, you wanna hear about this thing that didn't happen?'
'To you, or-'
'To these people who don't exist. The whole thing's fake. Absolute bullshit top to bottom. Are you in or not?'

Dawn Of Lost America
© Surazeus
2022 12 07

In darkened noon of lost America
where millions sit alone in glowing rooms
I hear death creak in twisting limbs of trees
that spiral from global internet brain
because I throw my love in soil of time
to nurture Tree of Life from mental slime.

My students want me to be their advisor for their new D&D club. I think that sounds like a lot of fun. Any tips?

Okay, so I used to regularly do this on the other site, but now let's do this here: If you are a reporter and you are writing about a lawsuit where you have access to the complaint and DON'T link to the complaint in your article, you are failing at your job.
