Mastodawn

Some accounts on here are marked as "Automated" or "Bot". This is not a bad sign! These are generally good and useful bots 🙂

These labels are added by the bot's owner to let people know there isn't a human responding to replies. More info at:

You can find lots of useful weather bots at https://fedimeteo.com

Some bots are interactive, for example @votechess lets people play a collaborative game of chess. @dungeons is another popular interactive bot.

As if it looked any better to begin with 😆

The best description I've ever heard of AI is the following. I heard this in the 80s, and it has held up since:

AI is magic.

1: You see a magic trick. You are amazed by the magic.

2: You are shown how the trick works. You are impressed by the technique.

3: You learn how to perform the trick. Now it's not magic, it's sleight-of-hand, or mirrors, or misdirection.

This is why "AI" is always bullshit: once you understand it, it's not AI any more, it's something else.

@workingclasshistory So now they covered the river?

Seriously I don’t want to be a good person so I can live with God after I die. I want to be a good person so I can live with myself while I am alive.
