@ThinkingSapien It is kind of crazy that "get in a car with a stranger" is an entire industry now.

@FeralRobots @ProPublica Yeah, at this point, I'm pretty sure they were just hashtag farming, which is disingenuous and unprofessional.

@FeralRobots @ProPublica That's totally plausible! We'll never know what they meant because they chose a stupid unit of measurement.

@tafadzwa @carnage4life Last couple of months? No, the slow decay of the ad-supported journalism industry has been going on for a decade now. They had plenty of time to pivot, and those that have are doing better than those who haven't.

@tafadzwa @carnage4life Is that why all the big journalism outlets are consolidating and going out of business and having massive layoffs?

@jann It determines "familiar places" automatically without giving you an option to choose them manually?

Yeah, that sounds like a terrible "security" feature.

@tafadzwa @carnage4life Yeah, and most of us will. But they need to stop expecting us to look at their ads, because we've installed adblockers.

@tafadzwa @carnage4life Nobody writes "for LLMs". We write for humans and humans use tools like LLMs to aggregate that information.

@tafadzwa @carnage4life You mean if the ad-supported websites were gone?

LLMs would learn to sound less like customer service agents because they'd ingest more natural writing.

@peterdrake I feel that.

But that's the great thing about this book. You never have to read it front-to-back. It exists to be flipped through when you're bored/stuck/need inspiration.

@josh @hannu_ikonen Presumably, anyone who considers homophobes, transphobes, racists, and sexists to be the "everyman". I'm guessing there's a bit of projection going on.
