Incidentally, the most remarkable thing Apple showed today was being able to have a 2 hour keynote without mentioning the words “artificial intelligence”. It’s not AI, it’s just better autocomplete, or better image segmentation, or better content-aware fill, or better speech recognition.

@ianbetteridge @daycoder Code, too. It’s almost like we need a common standard language that tells a computer exactly what to do…if only we had something we could use 🤔😉

This is so damn good.

"But Jason, we can get ChatGPT to explain the code to us". Oh really?

A worked-out example of how the ".zip" domain that Google has opened to registrants can be used in phishing attacks. The URL with the @ sign, and the characters that look like forward-slashes but aren't, looks like it goes to Github to download a zip file, but it actually goes to a server the phisher has registereed with the address "v1.27.1.zip".

The trick can also be pulled with other TLDs, but the .zip domain may make the URL look more like an expected file download.

I have a new #Gemini project to announce!

💬 Bubble

It is a Gemini-based bulletin board system that combines elements from Station, Reddit, WordPress, and Git-adjacent issue trackers like on GitHub.

Check out the introduction and kick the tires over at: gemini://geminispace.org/u/skyjake/1

Right here.

#GoogleIO revealed the two weirdest features as a pair.

1. Give a short summary and Google will draft an e-mail for you based on it. You can even click "elaborate" and it will make the e-mail longer.

2. When opening an e-mail, Gmail can summarize the entire thing for you so you don't have to read all of it.

Does everyone realize how fucking bizarre this is?

Both people in the conversation want to work with directness and brevity, and Google is doing textual steganography in the middle.

Interviewer: Can you explain these gaps in your resume?

Me: Those are typographical indicators called spaces, and line breaks that separate words and paragraphs.

The amount of money CEOs are willing to invest in an AI that constantly screws up at its job with the promise it will get better is nowhere the amount of money they'd be willing to invest in an employee who constantly screws up while promising they'll get better.
