Packing up here - find me @sweordbora.hausen.com under the blue skies. Once I get invite codes to give away, you can still reach me on the old bird site to ask for one. I'll log on occasionally until I have decided on a permanent new home.

Andrew FeeneyChristine Lemmer-Webber (@cwebber) described ChatGPT as Mansplaining As A Service, and honestly I can’t think of a better description. A service that instantly generates vaguely plausible sounding yet totally fabricated and baseless lectures in an instant with unflagging confidence in its own correctness on any topic, without concern, regard or even awareness of the level of expertise of its audience.

Matt BlazeMusk seems to think that he can solve the problems and conflicts of a forum that serves hundreds of millions of people from every corner of humanity by:
- cutting staff down to a lean team of more "hardcore" engineers
- firing everyone responsible for dealing with social, policy, and legal issues
- chasing away recognized experts and celebrities who've been providing free content
- making the place more welcoming to nazis
Sounds like a plan.
Alasdair AllanMusk has used "Vox populi, Vox Dei" to justify reinstating Trump on #Twiiter. But the quote is from a letter from Alcuin to the Emporer Charlemagne urging him to resist such ideas, "Nec audiendi qui solent dicere, Vox populi, vox Dei, quum tumultuositas vulgi semper insaniae proxima sit." Which translates as "And do not listen to those who keep saying, 'The voice of the people is the voice of God', because the tumult of the crowd is always close to madness."
iSchack„Vox populi, vox dei“, schreibt #ElonMusk zu einer Abstimmung, ob er #Trump wieder auf #Twitter lassen solle.
Zu schade, dass Musk offenbar nicht das ganze Zitat kennt: „Nec audiendi qui solent dicere: 'Vox populi, vox Dei', cum tumultuositas vulgi semper insanię proxima sit, zu Deutsch: „Auf diejenigen muss man nicht hören, die zu sagen pflegen, ‚Volkes Stimme, Gottes Stimme‘, da die Lärmsucht des Pöbels immer dem Wahnsinn sehr nahe kommt“.
