A traveler on these inter-tubes since the bygone days of 1985-ish...analyzing data and amateurishly hacking away at PowerBI and R for "the man" while working towards retiring in less than few years and flying around in virtual space. Doing that real life thing out of Toronto, Ontario Canada

X is where you find the people who think they run the Internet.

Bluesky is where you find the people who think they ought to run the Internet.

Mastodon is where you find the people who actually do run the Internet, and kind of wish they didn't.

When it comes to social interactions with certain people, there’s a fine line between missing out on an opportunity and dodging a bullet. I can say that while I’ve sadly missed out on “an opportunity”, I luckily “dodged a bullet”. #Personal

i think the best way to use LLMs is this: don't type into the AI chatbot's input field. instead, write a description of the problem in a text file. work through the specifics of what you want to accomplish, and how you'd go about doing it. once you've got a few hundred words of ideas and planning, you can go back to the empty, unused AI tab and close it. then begin doing the work yourself. consider sending your notes to friends or experts. when you're done, remember to thank them for their help!

The Astronomer CEO's Coldplay Concert Fiasco Is Emblematic of Our Social Media Surveillance Dystopia

Facial recognition and crowdsourced social media investigations are constantly being used not just on cringe CEOs, but on random people who are simply existing in public.
