WordPress.com adds an AI Assistant that can edit, adjust styles, create images, and more | TechCrunch

The feature is designed to work inside the website to understand its content and layout, allowing site owners to make changes with natural language commands. The WordPress AI assistant doesn't need precisely tailored prompts, either.

Looks like all my #WordPressdotcom sites on shared hosting are running WP 6.9

Beta Testers FTW! 💪

29. App estupenda. Soy usuario de #wordpressdotcom desde hace tiempo, tanto para publicar y compartir con la comunidad rolera como para intercambiar las bitácoras y personajes de nuestras aventuras de #rol. Cumple con lo que necesito desde la sencillez y con un coste digerible.
Der WordPress.com Registrierungsprozess ist auch wirklich nicht gerade UserInnen freundlich. Wenn selbst ich verwirrt bin, warum ich auf einmal was mit einer Domain machen soll. Vor allem jedoch: Beim Klick auf "kostenpflichtige Tarife" (rechts, oben, sehr unscheinbar) findet man dann den kostenlosen Basic Tarif. Nicht geil, eher Upsell Intention als alles andere. #WordPress #wordpressdotcom #uiux

We just released version 4.1.0 of the #ActivityPub Plugin for #WordPress https://wordpress.org/plugins/activitypub/

Some handpicked features:

* Custom Preview for “Fediverse” (needs WordPress 6.7)
* Support `comment_previously_approved` setting
* Add title to content if post is a `Note` (cc @davew )
* Fallback to blog-user if specific user is disabled (cc @cdevroe )

Happy federated blogging!

The version on WordPress.com will also be updated soon!

Somebody help me out here. Why exactly are we meant to be jumping for joy at the ‘news’ that the wordpress trademark has been taken out of the hands of Automattic and back into the hand…
