@RetroGrouch More fundamentally, it's how communication works. It's no accident that the only constructed language that has outlived it's creator to continue to be used is #Esperanto. L.L. Zamenhof explicitly gave it, and control of it's future development to it's speakers.(cont)

@RetroGrouch Communication matters. It's easy to emphasize mass communication because so many people have access to the same things. Again, it's not an accident that Project Gutenberg is named after Johannes Gutenberg who effectively made books available to the world, by making them easy and cheap to reproduce. But communication is interactive. It requires an answering voice.(cont)

@RetroGrouch Social media can't be based on production and consumption of content. It has to be based on conversations, not recordings. It's interactive. It's me seeing your words in the predawn hours and riffing off of them. It's the people who will find this conversation because of the things we've mentioned, and join in.

Mi skribas Esperante. Ne ĉiam profunde, sed ĉar mi deziras komuniki.

This little girl is on top of a mattress that is standing on end. As with any reasonable mattress, it's longer than I am tall, or in this position, it's taller than me. This mountain goat ran up the side of it and then just sat there calm and relaxed.

@lauren I can certainly foresee ways those will be used.

@krakenmare @ReticentTurnip Wait! The government is giving out drugs? I could save so much on my prescriptions.

The thing that scares me the most about ChatGPT is the prompts I've thought of giving it. Not that I fear ChatGPT itself, but rather what people will use it for. Most of them, I won't share, but some just have to be done. Think of the possibilities with ChatGPT answering for the Usenet Oracle.

Perhaps the nerdiest thing I've ever considered doing in months is implementing an enhanced version of #Emacs M-x doctor that uses ChatGPT.

@grammargirl I tried an experiment today. I asked ChatGPT to answer questions in the style of Calvin's father from Calvin and Hobbes and Cliff Clavin from Cheers.

@sorchist Mi ne vidis la birdon ĉi-matene, sed mi aŭdis ĝin. Belega kanto. La katoj ankaŭ ŝatis ĝin; mi pensas por alia kialo.

@sorchist Ĉu vi ankaŭ ĉasas, kaptas, kaj mortigas ilin, kaj tiam metas ilin en la liton de amata homo?

I was going to make the bed, but they had other plans.

@pluralistic For anyone who hasn't read your modest proposal, or has forgotten it, I suggest the perfect test of whether someone reads the license they agree to:https://pluralistic.net/2022/08/10/be-reasonable/#i-would-prefer-not-to

@selea It's very noticable that there aren't a lot of people I actually would block here.

@selea It's worth asking why he even cares about the block feature. It honestly only involves people who block and people who have been .... Oh, could that be the reason?

Just what I needed, one more thing to do today. Oh wait, three more things to do today.
