@billt Hi Bill - the link to your report from the first WWW conference in Geneva is b0rked. I'm getting a 404. I can see the article in on the Internet Archive but it looks like the file is currently missing.
@garius she's awesome.
Watching the magic hat ceremony. Some family members apparently taking this properly seriously. My observation that the sacred oil was for greasing Charlie's head to make it easier to get the magic hat on and off was apparently inappropes.
@molly0xfff Coil was working on this (though they just shut down) and the Interledger Foundation (via the ILP) supports penny-wise switching. It's crypto-adjacent, but it doesn't need to be crypto.

Charles SeifePlaying around with #OpenAI's #GPT3 text generator led me to perhaps the creepiest behavior yet. As @ct_bergstrom noted, the AI bots are able to cite the sources of their own writing.
I decided to see if it could function as a plagiarism detector. But when I put a few snippets of my own writing in, it found several uncited sources. (Attached.)
Aha! Someone must have plagiarized me! Or so I thought. But the truth was much stranger....
