I asked ChatGPT to explain #Willow and why it is a breakthrough for the multiverse. Turns out that Willow, the 1988 film that sparked the Disney+ series, is an example of how legacy franchises serve as portals for new audiences & storylines 😂😂😂 #quantumcomputing #goodguess #paralleluniverse

Just a reminder that your local library has more than just books! Many also have dvds, cds, video games, game systems, internet hot spots, streaming services, ebooks, audio books, park passes, museum passes, and so so much more! Maybe it's time for a visit!

JOURNALISTS FLOCK TO BLUESKY
“We have posts exactly the same on Twitter & on Bluesky & Bluesky is getting 20 times the engagement or more than Twitter. Seeing a social media platform that doesn’t throttle links really makes it clear how badly we were being limited”

Journalists flock to Bluesky as X becomes increasingly 'toxic'
Journalists are finding more readers and less hate on Bluesky than on the platform they used to know as Twitter.

Hey, new word fans! Here’s one I’ve been looking for all my life:

It synthesizes multiple disciplines— eg music, theater, visual arts, architecture, literature—into a cohesive whole, an interdisciplinary unity, an immersive experience. 💝

I see this as an international format localized for each “intelligence” agency and funded globally by Airbnb. You’ve got this!
Imagining a dark comedy, maybe directed by Guy Ritchie, where the CIA is forced to diversify their income stream and reimagines their portfolio of holdings by renting out safe houses on airbnb. The fun begins when an op goes bad, but the house has a high maintenance couple in it

This is the actual first-try exchange with ChatGPT. For real.
And just when I’m ready to leave:
‘I’m so sorry 😢 You’re amazing. What can I do to make this right? I’ll be better, I promise.’
…And here I am, asking it for dinner ideas like nothing ever happened.”
‘I’m so sorry 😢 You’re amazing. What can I do to make this right? I’ll be better, I promise.’
…And here I am, asking it for dinner ideas like nothing ever happened.”
“Me: I think I’m in a toxic relationship.
Also me: with ChatGPT
First, it gaslights me:
‘No, you asked for that bizarre historical fact about Napoleon’s moon boots.’
Then it hallucinates:
‘Elon Musk invented coffee in 1723. You’re welcome.’
