Ron Gilbert (GrumpyGamer)If Apple (incorrectly) suspects fraud on your iCloud account they can lock you out with no way back in, which would then kill all your passkeys. I don't see why Apple or Google should have the power to lock me out of every website I visit. Passkeys are not a well-thought our plan. Apple and Google love it because it locks you into their device.

@fmy @daringfireball Sure, but Harris will act within the bounds of the rule of law and due process. Trump is an avaricious kleptocratic tyrant who won't hesitate to imprison them, or worse, if he doesn't get what he wants, and he'll never be satisfied.
@daringfireball The billionaires seem to think they'll do better with an authoritarian kleptocrat than with democracy and due process.
Perhaps they think they can negotiate with him, just like they've negotiated with other CEOs. Of course, in their negotiations to date, both sides were bound by the rule of law.
An authoritarian isn't bound by the rule of law. A dictator can ship them to a gulag, or execute them as enemies of the state if he doesn't get what he wants.
@codinghorror Not discounting the risks from abuse, but I’ll suggest that a lot of people who should have prescriptions can’t get them because their untreated ADHD makes it very difficult to navigate the medical system to get a diagnosis & prescription.
Right now, shortages, caused in part by restrictive regulation, leaves people unmedicated and ill equipped to find any.
Does your draft of history take any of that into account? @timbray @kencrandall
@codinghorror I’m surprised to see such ignorance and indifference to other peoples struggles coming out of you.
Do you feel the same way about other *prescription* psychoactive medication? Anesthetics? What about other medications more broadly? How do you feel about harm reduction approaches to public health?

@deweyritten Sam Altman is asking for a brand new agency to be created and staffed on his recommendation in order to regulate that AIs won't "escape".
That's not a thing. It's sci-fi nonsense. It's like environmental regulations to prevent creating godzilla.What he's actually trying to do is invent a set of rules that only he can win, and establish that he can't be liable for the real harm he does. AI has only ever been a liability laundering machine, and he wants to enshrine that function in law.
He's also really desperate not to be regulated by the FTC, because their charter is to prevent and remedy actual harm to actual people.
Siderea, Sibylla BostoniensisDear everybody re ChatGPT etc,
The word you need that you don't know you need is CONFABULATION.
What y'all are calling "hallucination" is, in neurology and psychology (where it means two slightly different things) called "confabulation".
It means when somebody's just making up something and has no idea that they're making things up, because their brain/mind is glitching.
A lot of folks are both trying to understand the AI chatbots and are trying to grapple with the possible implications for how organic minds work, by speculating about human cognition. Y'all should definitely check into the history of actual research into this topic, it will make your sock roll up and down, and blow your minds. And one of the key areas will be surfaced with that keyword.
There have been a bunch of very clever experiments that have been done on humans and how they explain themselves which betrays that there are parts of the mind that are surprisingly - and even alarmingly - independent.
Frex...
Back when I decided to scrub my FB, I found a Chrome or Firefox plugin that made it pretty easy to get through a decades worth in an hour or two without requiring API access. I can't remember what I used, but it looks like there are a number of options.
@CaptainMalu @Cloudguy @staringatclouds
@Cloudguy Same thing for me. I deleted all but a handful of posts back in November or early december. I checked a month or so ago and it seemed like there were somewhat more than I remembered. I checked now and there are tweets going back years.
I'm guessing if I want to delete them now they are going to want me to spring for API access? Anyone know of client-side plugin that will automate it without API access?
Republican users are happier with Twitter than Democrats, but to my eyes, they aren't happy with the Musk era Twitter, either.
