Imagine a world where Meta announced it was legally required to shut down. Put aside the obliteration of stock value and job loss. What would be lost, and how hard would it be for folks to replace it with something else? I imagine it would

If we are in a period of nostalgia for inconvenience, it may be because convenience, when taken to its contemporary priority, can lead to a swath of negative side effects. Loneliness, boredom, lack of motivation. There's often not a di

I welcome this. I don't want anyone to prejudge or train a profile on me based on my starring history. Because my history of starring goes back chronologically and for many years, it's a wider signal than one might realize. I note

I decided to get ahead of this and yesterday made the migration. Or rather I should say, asked GPT 5.5 to. I estimate that I have a fairly complex configuration, and I had some bumps - some were preexisting problems - but ultimately it went

Towards the end, he approaches the subject of digital provenance, and muses why it's not a part of our expectations. I find the argument compelling: > If a chatbot appears to be manipulative, mean, weird, or deceptive, what kind of

I can relate to the tilting you're on, but try to consider the good that can come from this age, where such a tool might not have been built otherwise. It's also BSD/GPL license. As an aside, I've been vibe-cooking for a

Tried this out for a few days. Works surprisingly well. I've yet to make it past the third inning before I'm out. I've determined it must be fictional (maybe wrong?) given the just-entertaining-enough player names, which set

The Dec 2019 bug also hit me (living in NYC). I wasn't mentally myself for three weeks. I'm not even sure I fully recuperated. It was intense, and worse than when I eventually did experience COVID a couple years later. From what I
