@yisraeldov Well, you can look it up...

The list below it has all the organisations which they fund and contribute to.

I don't think it's rather subjective. They're trying to fix problems in the world in a direct way. They've funded vaccines for 3rd world countries, sanitation, and many other things. I mean, it's subjective if you don't necessarily believe in the same well-being as I do for humanity and have a different criteria, but I see it as a good thing.

@XanIndigo @stavvers I laugh derisively at your internet youth. I was there with usenet, 1991, and before that AOL when it was literally Mac-only in 1989 or 1990 on my Mac IIcx. Before that, I was on Prodigy. Before that, I was using a Kaypro II and Kaypro 10 with a 300 baud modem to hook into text BBS. I ran a Hermes BBS on my Mac at home in 1991. In fact, I go so far back as to remember my first programs on my TRS-80 with the cassette "drive" and learning LOGO on an Apple ][. My neighbor's dad had an Osborne we'd play with and a Tandy computer upon which we played the first Wizardry - figuring out all the secret codes when there was no internet or bbs yet.

I'm as ancient online as a frigging T-Rex and even the Brontosaurus doesn't have anything on me. 🤣

Web sites? Yeah. That was "The future" in my day back with Mosaic. Oh yeah. I remember. I remember it well.

You kids....😀

@yisraeldov As per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_%26_Melinda_Gates_Foundation

1) Infection disease control
2) Malaria control
3) STD control including HIV/AIDS
4) Tuberculosis control
5) Reproductive health care
6) Agricultural research
7) Family planning
8) Health policy and administrative management
9) Agricultural development
10) Agricultural policy and administrative management
11) Promotion of development awareness
12) Basic health care
13) Basic nutrition
14) Basic sanitation

Those appear to be in dire need in most countries and I applaud people who are trying to help with those issues, especially in third world countries.

@yisraeldov I actually like what his foundation is trying to do in general.

My blog post on ChatGPT and Dungeons and Dragons. It was a fun little experiment.

I had it write me out a personalised little adventure.

@axx @Green_Footballs I've never seen that one before. That was absolutely brilliant. Thanks.

@Some_Emo_Chick It's amazing how boringly predictable the Russians are.

@teachpaperless Just forwarded that to a great friend of mine who is a professor. We were just talking about AI in education last Sunday.

@dcseifert @NanoRaptor That appears very stylish retro and chonky at the same time. I love it. 👍

@xenodium I just tried talking to ChatGPT as if it were Joshua from War Games and it played Tic-Tac-Toe with me. Sadly, it did not want to play global thermonuclear war. But I thought of a fun possible package for the mac at least: Having ChatGPT read out like the voice synthesizer in War Games when Joshua writes back. 🤣
