Write a short story in exactly 18 words, with increasing stakes throughout.

In a new piece, @mmasnick discusses the new tool by OpenAI (the makers of #ChatGPT) meant to detect when something is written by #AI and how its unreliability could cause more problems than it purportedly solves. He also links to a NY Times piece about ways to use AI in #education, and even—with help from a fellow Masto user—proposes his own. If done well, this could actually be a very interesting teaching method. https://www.techdirt.com/2023/02/02/openai-wants-to-help-you-figure-out-if-text-was-written-by-openai-but-what-happens-when-its-wrong/

Please do NOT ever stop pushing for Donald Trump, Rudy Giuliani, Jim Jordan and others who were co-conspirators in Trump's attempted coup to be held criminally accountable for their efforts to overturn the 2020 election. If we stop calling for accountability our Republic ends.

@scorpiosoul9 it really is and what pisses me off beyond belief is that churches don’t open their doors to the homeless. Some churches won’t even let them sleep outside near their church. What a bunch of phony pos assholes. They love to pretend to be good ppl but they are some of the worst ppl on earth

What fresh hell did macOS “Stage Manager” come from? It only allows one application on the screen at a time. So you can't, for example, have a browser and a shell window open side-by-side on the screen. I get that there are different working styles and someone out there must have thought it was a good idea, but nope, Nope, NOPE! #MacOS

I can't get over this New York Times headline saying Ron DeSantis is "building his brand" by wrecking public education in Florida. It reminds me of NYT’s first mention of Hitler in 1922, which claimed his anti-Semitism wasn’t “genuine” or “violent” but was just “bait” to attract followers. From 1922 to 2023, NYT is still covering fascists from a marketing perspective rather than a moral perspective.

Kids in High School: "I don't understand why I have to take biology, chemistry, and other basic science classes. When am I ever going to use this stuff in my life?!"
As Adults: "Vaccines cause autism, GMOs are unsafe, climate change is a lie, the earth is flat, and chemtrails!! l've done my research. If you disagree with me, you're a sheep!!"

But their emails.
But their documents.

Concerning the balloon from China...

With a renewed push for police reform, comes renewed scrutiny on the structures that shield police from being held accountable for their actions. #QualifiedImmunity makes it incredibly difficult to hold officials to account. #velshi http://ow.ly/560O50MJLzI

The CNET sleazy "journalism" AI fiasco and Tesla's bogus autopilot have something in common -- and it isn't good. REad this: https://garymarcus.substack.com/p/the-cnet-fake-news-fiasco-autopilot

Microsoft is beating Google at its own game

Maybe OpenAI’s technology is a game changer. Maybe it’s just a party trick. Either way, Microsoft’s got it, and a lot of people think it’s amazing. That perception is important. Google now finds itself in a similar position that it helped put Microsoft in two decades ago: hoping it can release something better before it gets passed by.

It’s long been an open question as to why Donald Trump wasn’t charged in his hush money scandal. It appears the door is now open to a possible indictment.

A toast to all those incredibly important #opensource people who unfortunately aren’t privileged enough to be able to afford the trip to #FOSDEM or have a company foot your bill. YOU ARE APPRECIATED!
