Hello, I have discovered #AI, and I am now using it to generate pictures of men wearing Chinese qipao dresses, for reasons.

@aep @matthew_d_green I was referring specifically to the USA but for example UN human rights has weasel wording to exempt government.
@matthew_d_green it's not cynical at all, it's realistic. you don't have an absolute legal right to privacy in this country and never have. They believe that your privacy is balanced against their ability to effectively prevent crime and enforce the law. They can and will make laws to prevent you using encryption that they cannot surveil. When the government says you have a right to privacy, they don't mean from _them_.
i am trying to remember if graphic designers in the 90s were all held in the grip of a collective insanity.
I'm really down on Matrix because I wrote a Matrix chat bot and the developer experience was pretty bad. This was a number of years ago and I'm probably due to try again.
@mike this is very compelling and I would love to read you write long-form about your ideas on this. In my spare time I'm working on a mail replacement thing in a different space that reduces need for censorship and spying chokepoints like DNS, registrars and TLS certificate issuers, and that has strong anti-spam features.
You could argue it's a tailor-made education tool for things like this. Maybe someone could get into programming if they can easily explore the specific problems they're interested in solving, and ChatGPT makes it possible to do that.
Friends are already using ChatGPT to learn programming. They have a small problem they want to solve, and they ask it for a program in the language they want to learn. It generates the code, and it usually is good or good enough. Then they are able to derive from that how to code in that language.
AI contains serious risks and limitations which should be addressed but a lot of Mastodon people don't appreciate the good aspects or how fast it's improving.
@baldur this is more broadly applicable to technology, i think foucault wrote about this. technology is an automation time saving abstraction which necessarily cuts corners and dehumanizes. it needs to be used carefully.
that said, every version of OpenAI's GPT released is substantially better than the last.
