I’ll be in Denver for a week. Any suggestions of things to do or see, esp: food, art, books, history, coffee, or other quirky stuff?

A Machine Learning algorithm walks into a bar.

The bartender asks, "What'll you have?"

The algorithm says, "What's everyone else having?"

The Auld Jarness #midjourney #AIArt (The text of the prompt for this was "the old jarrys pling", and all the results were pubs like this one; I thought it was pretty funny!)

I see people asking: How else will we critically study GPT-4 etc then?

Don't. Opt out. Study something else.

GPT-4 should be assumed to be toxic trash until and unless #OpenAI is *open* about its training data, model architecture, etc.

I rather suspect that if we ever get that info, we will see that it is toxic trash. But in the meantime, without the info, we should just assume that it is.

To do otherwise is to be credulous, to serve corporate interests, and to set terrible precedent.

The great thing about being middle-aged, is that you no longer care what people think of your outfit.

I guess on the #Fediverse it's not a bad thing to boost your old posts. On other platforms I always kinda felt bad about it, it made me feel selfish ego centric smug.

However, on here it feels natural because if I'm having a moment and that opinion still stands and matters to me, I know I can re-post it by boosting because not everyone saw it the first time. #Mastodon

On one hand, we have the guys who want to check your kids' genitals, track their menstrual cycles & force them to give birth after rape.

On the other hand, we have the fabulous queens who want to read your kids stories.

Guess who Republicans want you to be terrified of.

Made a cute lama friend.
What’s everyone up to today? I’m working on a romance scene and hanging out outside. Its gorgeous here.

It is to be smashed. #MPNCA
