I finally closed down my @felixvelarde account on X-marks-the-Nazi

(I kept my @felixv account because it contains the DM Inna sent that led to our first date)

I used www.sky-follower-bridge.dev to ID and follow some accounts I used to follow there

I look forward to being a bit more present

Sam Altman’s back, Shear’s happy, everybody’s happy, pretty well engineered reverse coup. Happy clappy. Feels like a ChatGPT plot.

The most informative article on Sam Altman and OpenAI situation I’ve read so far: www.nytimes.com/2023/11/21/t...
Before Altman’s Ouster, OpenAI’s Board Was Divided and Feuding
Sam Altman attacked a member over a research paper that discussed the company, while directors disagreed about who should fill board vacancies open for months.

Everyone is above average

Radio silence last couple of weeks because my dad passed away. Just getting back to work. Renewed enthusiasm for some reason. Same chaos though ;)

Watching Russia unravel. Hoping desperately for a quick end to the war on Ukraine. Hoping but not expecting Russian sanity to prevail. What a spectacle.

I can’t code. I do know about AI. I would love to create a feed about AI developments. Can you help me create a couple of feeds?

IMO, the fundamental thing Elon missed with Twitter was the gamification of access to celebrity.

The blue check access was one of Twitter’s products. You had a chance that your favorite notable would see and respond to your comment.

It’s the same reason loot boxes work.
