Ron Gilbert (GrumpyGamer)When Twitter collapsed, it was great to see the flood of friends, game devs and other come to Mastodon. Over the next 9 months a lot of them vanished to Threads, BlueSky or just left. I want to thank all people who are still on Mastodon and make it a wonderful place. You know who you are.
How not to hate a company that provides great hardware, that works perfectly all the time, but then I do an upgrade, and just because "I really don't f**ing know" the external display stopped working on clamshell mode.
My M1 Pro Mac has been my workhorse, but it's flawless till Sonoma. Sequoia and Tahoe decided that since external monitor is not Apple let's not work.
Downgraded that crap to Sonoma again. One of the situations when someone said "this is working too well, let's put a bug there"

mccOne thing about "AI" is with the technology OpenAI has (large neural network plus manual tagging) you could've made the best search engine ever. There could be a Copilot where you describe what you wanted and it finds an example of it in the corpus of open source software. You could go from a fuzzy image description to a stock image. These would be better than buggy code and fucked up images. But they wouldn't do that because the *service* OpenAI provides is obscuring that the content is stolen.
Dan GillmorI retired from teaching 18 months ago, in part because it was becoming clear to me that the "AI" industry was undermining education in profound ways. This essay makes a convincing case that LLMs are a plague on learning -- and, not incidentally, higher education. https://www.currentaffairs.org/news/ai-is-destroying-the-university-and-learning-itself
