Use this amazingly understandable post when they ask "why is AI so bad? explain it like I was a 5 year old" for the umpteenth time.

"Don’t trust AI to offer you #facts. When it doesn’t know something, it will frequently offer you confidently-stated incorrect #information, because it’s a statistical engine, not a #fact checker."

“AI”: A Dedicated Fact-Failing Machine, or, Yet Another Reason Not to Trust It For Anything

I search my name on a regular basis, not only because I am an ego monster (although I try not to pretend that I’m not) but because it’s a good way for me to find reviews, end-of-the-yea…

Hey #tv, #tech, and #privacy experts, I'm setting up a new #entertainment system today. What's the best way to keep a #SmartTV as #dumb as possible? Specifically, an #LG tv, if that matters.

And is there anything about setting up a #BluRay / #dvd player that I should do to keep it private too? What about a #SoundBar?

How do I get at least the initial #firmware #updates without connecting the #devices to the #internet?

Um... 😕 Isn't he rather flexible for someone his age?

Trump may have inadvertently issued mass pardon for 2020 voter fraud, experts say

Pardons of Giuliani and others who took part in fake elector scheme were largely symbolic, but could have a big effect

Instead of "republicans," I propose we start calling them "projectionists."

"Former #Republican #state legislator [and member of the #FarRight #Arizona #Freedom #Caucus] Austin Smith pleaded guilty Monday to what he previously called 'ludicrous' charges that he personally forged more than 100 signatures on his petitions for reelection last year."

"In April, four baby Galapagos tortoises were born at the Philadelphia Zoo to first-time parents that were roughly 100 years old, a first in the zoo’s history. In June, Zoo Miami resident and Galapagos tortoise Goliath became a first-time father at the age of 135."

I have a #question about how #Mastodon works. If I #boost something (my own #toot or someone else's) in the morning, then come back in the afternoon and UNboost it, wait a while, then boost it again, does that toot show up in everyone's Home feeds again? Or do toots only get posted once, regardless, making unboosting-then-reboosting a waste of time? Does anyone know how the #DevsOfMastodon make this work? Any #MastoTips, #FediTips, or #boosts will be appreciated!
