I was starting to warm up to chatGPT as a code assistant, and then today I asked it a question about the Mastodon API and it kept giving me wildly different answers every time I regenerated the response. Did it 9 times and each time it was different, and always looked plausible.
But when I wrote a quick test in VS Code, none of them worked! One went into an infinite loop and crashed after exhausting the call stack. Fun!
So chatGPT doesn’t only hallucinate about people.

@Pat Yeah but if you read the article, they have saved many lives with notices and information on Twitter.
@bp Unfortunately, I no longer know of any. I used to a very long time ago, but not since a few decades.
@bp It's been all over the press for months and all over Twitter as well. You'd think their IT departments would be at least aware.
The Verge: Disaster alert accounts are preparing for a world after Twitter

There is going to be a real cost to Elon Musk fucking everything up. But that is what happens when you rely on services like Twitter and don't control your own data or data flow. Why they don't make the move *now* to migrate over to Mastodon is flabbergasting.

Annie Easley, born #OTD in 1933, began her career at the NACA as a “human computer,” performing complex calculations. When machines began to replace human computers, Easley adapted, becoming an expert computer programmer.

@Mina@swiss-talk.net @TNLNYC It is a very beautiful place. It made for a magical wedding. 👍
@Mina@swiss-talk.net @TNLNYC A really great friend of mine got married there back in the 90s. It was a fantastic wedding and evening in that library. 😀👍

A grocery delivery in Florida ended in gunfire after an 18-year-old woman and 19-year-old man reported that they mistakenly drove to the wrong house. The car was hit multiple times, but the man and woman were not injured. @ErinNBCNews has the story.

@yisraeldov Apparently. I haven't tried it. But it seems to be, yes. 👍
