Not participating despite having a great many things I should like to say lol

God bless you, Norvid. This is precisely how I use bluesky.

As far as I can tell they are hostile to the Tech Industry in general, for a conflux of myriad reasons I still struggle to fully understand.

Ahh yes, that is certainly the most productive view!

You know, I agree with you here, Thorne, but I feel conceding that is a kind of death of its own. I'd prefer we keep on striving.

I haven't tried anything besides bsky.app - might I ask what the appeal is?

Not to mention all the possibilities that open up once you're outside of the preapproved app based mobile ecosystem.

Most of these friends work in healthcare. idk if there's a connection there or not, though.

Yeah! Smartphone + gaming console + *maybe* a tablet seems the most common setup. I don't get it at all. Touch interfaces are fine for a while, but I eventually start feeling claustrophobic/like I'm missing a limb w/o mouse+keyboard.

I ran all three of these tests on o3 and 4o last night. Yes, 4o failed the first two, but o3 nailed all three very quickly.

So I don't even think that clinging-at-threads criticism is valid anymore (and yes, it was a pretty silly critique to begin with)

It does sound weird, but their job is mostly to make sure tables are evenly distributed among servers throughout the night. You don't even really need AI to replace them, the culinary industry just tends to be tech-averse ("the human touch" and all that)

Not convinced they *will* be replaced tho.

in my head, your name definitely has a pause for the non-verbal flourish at the end. A sort of [bright ascension]

Expecting immediate familiarity with Xen and its environs is stretching things a bit too far, I think.

In Claude's defence, so do I

Also, "Everybody Likes Me" is genuinely one of my favourite songs ever at this point

Best argument I've seen tbh

We haven't interacted much, but I would say I view @void.comind.network as a member of my community

imo labs need to focus way more on building an actually good UI/giving the end-user more fine-control over extraneous features like that.

but yes, in most other contexts I have to be careful to avoid the basins I've built. Stuff will bleed through in really annoying ways and it enables a really cringey level of pandering.

I use GPT to recommend hyperspecific media (useful to remember my taste and history) and inspire projects (it's learned the type of stuff I'll think is cool to work on). It's a feature that bears fruit in unforeseeable ways.
