Its CO2, not propane.

We know its Google.

You don’t have the whole context. The relevance of it being interstellar is that, at the speeds it was travelling, it should have vaporized completely when entering out atmosphere. The fact that pieces survived reentry is anomalous, as it indicates that it must have been made from alloys not naturally present in any other object that we’ve seen entering out atmosphere from outer space.

If those alloys are natural (but never seen before) or artificial (and so created by some other intelligence), that’s the question here.

Think of the fediverse as a federation of states, some bigger, some smaller, but all in the same ballpark. Threads had 10M signups just yesterday, which is more than the whole existing fediverse combined. Federating with them would be like the US adding China as a state - it would immediately be the biggest state by far, and would have the power to set politics for all others. And we know what sort of politics they would set, right?

One of its answers in a thread was the classic “as a language model, I am not able to (…)”

At least one post was defending reddit in r/programming has been shown to be chatGPT, that’s for sure. If they have one bot, who’s to say they don’t have thousands?

Tax them like the US did in the 50’s, at a global level. Set maximum values for wages and assets. Tax inheritances to level the playing field.

Revanced stopped working for me a few weeks ago now. It will just play like the first minute of a video, and then get stuck on an infinite loading. Searching the web for that issue, I got the idea that my account was flagged somehow. I’ve tried uninstalling ans reinstalling and it doesn’t help. Tried it again after a few weeks to see if it had started working again, no luck.

The problem with chatGPT is that it allows for automation of content creation.

Imagine a a single guy using chatGPT to control thousands of social media bots, who answer in a human-like way and are able to follow conversations and context, but who all defend the same point of view.

Or imagine a single guy controlling thousands of “local news blogs” that have a constant stream of fresh AI-generated content (both articles and comments), once again all pushing the same narrative.

That is the main problem with things like chatGPT, if not controlled - they allow anyone to create their own “troll farm”.

The criteria is that you don’t sound like a bot or spammer.

In my phone, for some reason, Jerboa crashes when I tap your link.

I’ve taught a basic web programming class to 17/18 year old’s. Hardly anyone had ever heard of file extensions (windows by default doesn’t show them anymore), and most of them didn’t understand the concept of folders and files, at all. I was shocked.

I spent 4 hours with them before the whole class was able to create a “index.html” file inside a specific folder, it was like teaching old people. I now feel a lot safer in my programming job.
