Chris HallbeckIf you take a social media sabbatical, don’t announce it. Just make your last post something fun like “I wonder if there’s a bear in this cave?”

@Chrishallbeck made me laugh. Thanks for that!
Yoko's Asterisk 🏳️⚧Random thought: I increasingly don't think capitalism has much to do with making a profit, or maximizing value.
Over and over, we see priceless resources destroyed so that the bosses can feel powerful. I think that's the main goal of capitalism, actually: making bosses feel like big men. Profit is incidental.
@weatherwest thank you!
@Noupside Exactly a pseudoevent. I am sure you must have read the book, but if not these types of events are discussed in The Image.
@ct_bergstrom one possible outcome is companies that make checkers boards will be financially successful. Or in this case companies that make GPUs.
@ct_bergstrom It feels nice to know that we all can be better than some "Turing award winners" in some respects.
blaineNot going to lie, Twitter killing off free API access hits me in the feels. I remember with great affection the flood of creativity that happened after we opened up the API, and it's heartbreaking to see that unceremoniously strangled.
I'm relieved that we've got better alternatives, though. While this is perhaps the final straw for many bots on Twitter, it's been a long time coming and the API has long been hobbled compared to the early days. Open protocols or bust. ✊
