Shameful.

Better than or more cheaply.


Love it though the way cut sheets of rolled paper will curl is pretty annoying.


Ya mean foresight?


They are boring infomercials now. The live audience used to keep it from feeling too prepackaged.


You gotta keep your infomercials engaging:

Microsoft really nailed the genre. (Although I learned just now while looking up the link that this one was an internal parody, never aired.)


Kirk: “Joe Biden is a bumbling dementia filled Alzheimer's corrupt tyrant who should honestly be put in prison and/or given the death penalty for his crimes against America.”


He didn't say that on Bluesky so I don't see how that is relevant to this conversation.


The parent post asked:

>> Lastly, I don't know much about Kirk, but I haven't seen a single comment he made where he advocating for political violence. Would you mind sharing a few?


That is not advocating for violence anymore than saying a rapist should be jailed or a murder should be given the death penalty. He is not calling for some sort of extra judaical punishment, but to work within the legal system and execute the law.


How would it be appropriate for Biden to be given the death penalty under U.S. law? That sounds to me like extra-judicial punishment that was specifically being called for by Kirk.


I am pretty sure he thought Biden committed treason, but I am not an expert on Kirk's view.


And if Kirk thought that all trans people were child rapists, would it not be a call to violence if he advocated for imprisoning all trans people?


Demonstrably false. The press is being actively extorted by the government in an effort to dictate their coverage. Our academic system is being eviscerated by the government in part to undermine dissent against the Israeli war. Corporations are being punished by the government for efforts to develop inclusive workplaces.


Including Threads with Fediverse might have an interesting impact.


I agree. Even though the privacy control is opt in to share their posts with the fediverse, I think it's fair for Threads to be counted as a server in the fediverse holding user data. It just has more advanced privacy than others.


Threads barely interchanges with the rest of the Fediverse, it's basically bridged. By this argument you could include Truth Social and Gab, which are directly based on Mastodon source.


adding Threads's 400M users changes the ActivityPub fediverse centralized market share to 99.72%, beyond that of BlueSky's share of 99.55%.



Incredibly stupid how this has become a leading AI “tell”.


Different models have different quirks. I use 4o at work and it has an annoying habit of taking things absurdly literally and using emojis and formatting too liberally instead of giving me a useful answer. Claude is much more subdued and helpful because it's conversational when you ask something open-ended, succinct when you ask it something data-driven, and almost always asks a follow-up question.

The sci-fi trope of being able to tell "AIs" apart from one another is absolutely coming true in real-time.


Might be stupid, but it works, for now. Over indexed tokens is another (common inclusions). Some grammar constructions, too, where over descriptiveness is present - though that's easy to read and probably a bit harder to code for.


If it works, it works.

It's a crude example, but pattern analysis to figure out who wrote a thing is an old, old technique; people have been doing it with Shakespeare stuff for centuries, in particular.


Why is it stupid? As long as people are too lazy to find/replace them, it seems to work.
