Constantly popping in and out of existence in the quantum froth of the universe.
@jerry When you go far enough down the rabbit hole you begin to understand why all of the layers of abstraction make sense if you’re running a large suite of web services depending on an even bigger set of internal-only (not-necessarily-“micro”) services all running at vast scale. Then you say, but wait, I’m not Google, and I’m not trying to solve that problem.
@darius I asked #ChatGPT “What distinguishes a journalist from anyone else with an opinion and a social media platform?” and it said
“While anyone can have an opinion and share it on social media, journalists are distinguished by their commitment to gathering and presenting factual information and news. This includes conducting research and interviews, verifying information, and presenting multiple sides of a story.” Oops.
@seananmcguire To be fair, she wasn’t strictly forbidden https://www.tsa.gov/travel/security-screening/whatcanibring/items/small-pets and once she went through the x-ray machine what could they do?
@timbray Also a newcomer trying to grasp the norms, but I’m getting a sense that, like the old saw “if you have to ask you can’t afford it”, if you need an explicit signal you’re not having a “house party” kind of conversation to begin with. Not sure if I’m reading the cultural vibe right, though.
