Anyone else get this propaganda from an email list you didn't sign up for?

Gravatar is doing all it can to prevent the walled gardens of social media from happening in the AI era. This new tool is just the first brick in the foundation of what is to come!

I'd love to chat with anyone interested in keeping AI silos from happening. Let's figure this out together.

It took me a few times to re-read @traviscojudge.bsky.social's monthly newsletter to realize he wasn't calling the mayor a cockroach. 😂

We are kicking around ideas for a new default avatar for Gravatar and Google's Gemini came up with this gem. Should we push it to production?

Playing with a new fun background tool for @gravatar.bsky.social (coming soon!) and getting ready for a big football playoff game this weekend. #HookEm

I'm a huge believer in domains as identity. I love what @bsky.app is doing with handles!

Gravatar has partnered with @identitydigital.social and nova.link to offer sweet domain names FREE for one year. And now you can easily use your domain as your Bluesky handle!

Uhh, according to PocketCasts.com I listened to over TWO DAYS of @scottgalloway.bsky.social @karaswisher.bsky.social so far this year. Plus many hours of their other stuff. I rather like my bubble.

At the Green Day concert tonight in Austin, a school night, and so many young kids here with their parents. My 11 year old, too. And our parents didn't want us listening to Dookie 😂

New Gravatar feature! Opt in to allowing people to contact you without sharing your contact details. Privacy forward, clean, and simple! Great for in person events like #wceu!

Another Google service gets the Viking funeral treatment. Thankful I use PocketCasts.com

Pleasantly surprised, I was playing with Bard, asking it to write something for me about rank-choice voting. And it replied with this - an attempt, I assume to keep AI out of fake news creation.

ChatGPT had no scruples giving me what I asked for...

Unlocked the secret to holiday travel. Fly on Christmas Day. No lines. Empty planes. People in friendly moods. May make this a new tradition!

Today I learned that ChatGPT doesn't really do math. I wasn't aware. It was off by 1,000 here. And the scary part was I trusted it over me typing it into a calculator 10 times. I was convinced I kept entering a number incorrectly.
