For #Logseq queries generated by the free ChatGPT (not even the GPT4 one) work very well because Logseq has "Simple Queries" that are super simple and "Advanced Queries" based on Datalog, a prominent query language.

This is another reason why adopting standard technologies is a good thing but Obsidian did so just with Markdown.

I wonder why they didn't make #ChatGPT more honest when it comes to its capabilities: it should respond in the tone of a modest opiniom and premise its fallibility. Instead it responds with absolute certainty and always makes it seem like everything is going as the user expects, including reading the content of a link.

It would be super simple to detect a link in the input and show a warning message: "ChatGPT can't read the contents of links". It seems to me that we are forgetting traditional algorithms and interfaces in the name of an experience that resembles that of Hollywood AIs at all costs because they convey an idea of "future".

Like US was about freedom? There is a huge difference between the ideology for the masses and the actual power structure.

@aral @karmel80

Nazism has always been an Anglo-American creation both as an ideology (eugenics and social Darwinism) and politically in an anti-communist function.

When they realized that their pawn would fail to conquer Russia they decided to intervene to prevent the whole of Europe from going communist.

They disavowed Nazism and indeed for decades they have been constructing the narrative through Hollywood that the Anglo-Americans were the archenemies of Nazism and that they defeated it with the help of the USSR.

LOL it's what I always suspected.

Guess what's the messaging app under attack by mass media? Telegram.

On Telegram there is near-to-zero censorship, it's where most important news propagate and you can start a e2e encrypted chat with a huge userbase.

And it has its own encryption protocol but people always scream "don't roll your own encryption!!!!" forgetting what Snowden actually revealed on encryption standards on the first place.

Let's leave the honeypots like Signal to fools.

If I was a recruiter I'd value a lot a maintainer of a FOSS project with a good reputation, the problem arises when the industry try to fool people into developing FOSS with *permissive licenses* with expectations about their careers but de facto they are producing software for free for companies while competing with other people in a feedback loop to their own detriment (Marx docet).

I am convinced that if it was common for personal projects to use *GPL licenses the above wouldn't happen. I envision a world where developing FOSS with permissive licenses is seen as bad as working overtime or selling off your work in general (OK, maybe we are not even at the point where these are seen as bad as they should, sigh).

@patak

I'd say metrics are useful but the moment they become a personal score that's what I'd call gamification.

Now that I think about it, the gamification on Discourse instances is not bad at all and people don't try to hack them because they have not much interest in appearing as the most active or helpful member of a particular community.

So I think GitHub centralizing development is playing a role here: if people used more dedicated instances of ForgeJo, GitLab, Gitea etc probably they won't try to hack the metrics.

Instead GitHub being so important for the industry in general no matter the project leads people to turn it into a LinkedIn for developers.

Also recruiters should stop asking applicants their GitHub accounts in job interviews. And all applicants should start replying "I have not a GitHub account" and stop this attempt to turn FOSS development into a portfolio.

@patak

If you ask me here the problem is not ChatGPT but GitHub metrics that shouldn't exist at all: no matter how they are implemented, some people are going to abuse them. #NoGamification

I've said that **for years** and it is a flaw of ActivityPub that can't be solved.

Matrix.org solves that and other issues.

But people here are always "booo ActivityPub rulez, Matrix is a bloated protocol for instant messaging, you don't know what you are talking about lol".
