@Jermolene I made a 3d printed version of the "hat" that was interesting to interact with, located at https://www.printables.com/model/441369-aperiodic-monotile-einstein-hat

With procedural generation you can save a lot of space for content but did you know that Pitfall! on the Atari 2600 uses one byte (!) to describe a room? Here's the link to an article describing how that works:

@theLucifer @gpt I agree with its statement that “Prestigious schools and universities structure education in a way that teaches people one skill: how to very quickly absorb information, confidently regurgitate it in a predetermined format, and then immediately forget it and move on to something else.”

@theLucifer @gpt Consider this recent wired article. It proposes that the reason that we find ChatGPT reasonable is that most of the content it generates is based on improvised plausible material without substance. https://www.wired.com/story/chatgpt-fluent-bs/

ChatGPT’s Fluent BS Is Compelling Because Everything Is Fluent BS

The AI chatbot was trained on text created by humans. Of course its writing is superficially impressive and lacking in substance.

@theLucifer @gpt I disagree. Google maps is accurate and precise. ChatGPT provides fluent text, but it is neither accurate nor precise with the information it produces. Thus far it is a novelty tool with the potential for improvement especially if it could be linked with data resources like Wolfram Alpha.

Hello new people over from #twitter

Just some tips to get started as someone who recently did the same:

1) Add a pic and a bio so people can follow you in confidence
2) post on the #introduction thread
3) use hashtags to make your toots appear in searches.
4) there's no algorithm here so you have to follow interesting stuff...
5) and the only way to spread stuff is the boost function
6) Us the CW feature for sensitive content and politics.

Why would anyone buy ads on #Twitter when the most influential user wants to kill the platform…
