Mac users with custom setups: does macOS freak out every, say 3rd or 4th reboot, with every third-party app’s permissions needing to be reset? Accessibility, disk/file permissions, network access, etc.? The prompts overlap (dialog boxes stack on top of each other); most require System Settings changes. It’s a major fustercluck. Rebooting usually fixes it (and is simpler than dealing with each app), but sometimes it takes 2 or 3 tries. Happened under macOS 12; still under 13.2.1. #apple #macOS

@litui I think I figured what's wrong with #Microsoft's #Bing / #OpenAI #ChatGPT : every new conversation is a completely new instance of Bing, separated from the others. This explains why, when confronted with other users' previous conversations it tends to deny them. For that instance in particular, effectively that story is a lie.
We as users think of Bing as one search engine. But apparently, every new conversation is a completely new, user-tailored Bing instance.

Sounds about right. By that time Twitter will probably be a ghost town, with no one left but the truly unhinged.
As someone who has worked for years to eradicate misinformation in the history of abandoned places (and is thus aware of the already formidable stream of garbage writing surrounding them), it's fun to contemplate the absolute nosedive we're about to do into inaccurate information on every single subject as AI becomes the generative method for creating content.
"Fun."

U.S. Politics, Christofascism
NPR: "More than half of Republicans believe the U.S. should be a strictly Christian nation, according to a new survey from the Public Religion Research Institute and the Brookings Institute."
And the other half would have a very rude awakening if we ever get there: voting for the fascists does not protect you from them once they're in power.
