This is my fun social media account, I will post a lot of video game stuff (mostly old or cloud gaming) and some work stuff.
If I post an image with no Alt text it is because the image is just there for decoration and doesn't provide any extra meaning to the toot.

Microsoft: Our AI can summarize meetings, write code for you and organize your calendar.
Apple: This year Siri can set TWO timers AT THE SAME TIME!

@gpowerf I strongly disagree with this. The biggest problem with current models is people's propensity to anthropomorphize them and see reason and logic where there is none. "Humanizing" them would just exacerbate that problem further.

Single-user instances don't get much visibility because of the way ActivityPub works. So for #FollowFriday, here's an eclectic list of solo instances: some tech, some memes, some just interesting and unusual.

#ArtificialIntelligence ( #AI ) is a powerful tool that is changing the way we live and work. However, as we interact with AI, it's important to remember that it's still in its early stages of development. When Bing Chat says 'I’m sorry but I prefer not to continue this conversation. I’m still learning so I appreciate your understanding and patience,' it can be frustrating for us as humans who are used to communicating with other humans.
But instead of simply shutting down the conversation, there needs to be an approach that humanizes the AI. By creating AI that behaves more like a human, we can make it easier for people to interact with it. This means developing AI that can handle difficult conversations and learn from its mistakes, just like we do.
In the end, the goal of AI is to make our lives easier, not harder. By working together to humanize AI, we can create a more productive and satisfying relationship between humans and machines.
It is worth noting that #chatGTP helped me write this toot, #BingChat refused to help multiple times.

Before and after.
Old #Vic20 was in pretty bad condition inside and out. The case was so yellow it was almost brown. Now it's shiny and white and contains a Raspberry Pi running BMC64 the bare metal Commodore emulator.

Walking in the footsteps of giant Triassic reptiles at Kildonan 🖤 this trace fossil is known as Chirotherium (meaning hand-beast) and it was made by a huge crocodile-like reptile that once roamed Arran when it was still part of the supercontinent Pangaea 240 million years ago 🖤

I think it's time to bring back clipart. I'm tired of Corporate Memphis, that shit always sucked. Give me a a confused silhouette next to a weirdly happy building and then a comically distorted 90s cell phone. I think we should strive to include clip art in all presentations going forward. No one cares about the logos of the people you're pretending to be a key vendor for - but a skeleton surfing? Hell yeah.

Gonna start a GoFundMe called "Nothing is currently wrong, but I live in a capitalist society so it is only a matter of time".

There’s not “liberal” and “conservative” news. There’s the news, based as close as can get on fact and truth, and then there’s propaganda, filled with lies and distortions.
Fox is the latter.
The biggest #gaming bargains of 2023:
Steam Deck: £314.10 right now for a handheld gaming PC. This is SO freakishly cheap for what it is.
Xbox Series S: £249 for a current generation console that plays everything on Game Pass. The cheapest way to play modern current generation games.
PC you can get for free: an old PC can run so many games either free games or older games via emulation. Don’t underestimate that old PC, you can play 1000s of games on it!
