This kind of story is boring

https://www.howtogeek.com/stop-using-chatgpt-as-a-substitute-for-web-search/

It is the same story repeated time and time again. Don't use google, it might be wrong. Don't use Wikipedia, it might be wrong. Don't use generative LLM, it might be wrong.

But of course we will use them, because the alternative is nonsense.

You simply have to fact check when it is important to do so.

Stop Using ChatGPT as a Substitute for Web Search

Chatbots that hide their sources are not to be trusted.

#mastodon is going to have uptake issues while it still has such shitty quality link preview images

@Mastodon

Why are the media previews such low quality in the timeline? They look fine when you expand. I can't find a setting in #fedilab that controls this.

@AstroKatie I read (watched, can't remember!) a really compelling piece you did on dark matter ages ago. It would be great to get your take on the wide binary study. Is it as significant as it sounds?

Something for the newsletter maybe.

I never believed in my lifetime I would see a UK Prime Minister boasting to cheering MP’s that his Government was restricting our right to protest, robbing millions of workers of their democratic right to strike & stripping back human rights. Where is the outrage? WHERE?

A UK PM actually boasting to cheering MP’s about restricting our right to protest & strike. Shocking

Unless it is someone who uses a wheelchair and needs the clearance.

@cstross

There isn't a "crisis in masculinity."

There are just guys who can't cope with there being any standards or expectations for their behavior at all after being told they could literally do whatever they wanted and treat people like property.

There's a reason every proposed "solution" is misogynist as hell and involves forcing women into a social position where their lives, bodies, and livelihoods are entirely controlled by men.

Because these men are pigs and want to live life on easy mode.

UK peeps: consider signing this government petition (to halt passage of the Online Safety Bill, which will gut end-to-end encryption including your online banking security, personal message privacy, and right to privacy in general): https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/634725
Petition: Stop the passing of the Online Safety Bill

We want the Government to withdraw the Online Safety Bill, so it does not become law.

Kids today with their blue hair and pronouns.
Kids today with their baggy pants and rap music.
Kids today with their long hair and heavy metal music.
Kids today with their long hair and hippie music.
Kids today with their leather jackets and rock’n’roll music.
Kids today with their flapper outfits and jazz music.

Same as it ever was? Same as it ever was.
