       @drewharwell Honest question: The data may be public, but knowing which plan belongs to a specific person, that's not public is it?

       @bVork @drewharwell Huh. It's all public data, but that amount of sleuthing makes it feel a little like doxxing. You can track down my home address through public data (since I bought my home), but that wouldn't make it cool to post online. I mean, Musk is definitely a bad actor in all this and knowing a plane's location isn't the same as knowing a person's location, but I can see why some people might find this worrisome.

       @clive Sigh. I’m too old for this. I never internet a period that way, but now I find myself constantly reminding myself to leave period off because so many people interpret them badly. I mean, interpret them badly

       This seems a little cautious, at least on the text generation policies. There’s a whiff of the idea that if a journalist uses an AI then the journalist can’t possibly be responsible for the final edit. That’s not true.

       At least, that’s not what I would teach my students. If you use an AI tool to generate ideas or knock out boilerplate or polish an essay, you’re still responsible as the author for that essay.

       @clive I heard about Flaco just before I visited NYC the other week! I went birdwatching at Central Park, but didn’t see him. :/

       @clive That was the free GPT-3.5 version of ChatGPT, right? I wonder if ChatGPT Pro (4.0 with plugins) would do better.

       @clive It did better. I think this will let you see the results I got: https://chat.openai.com/share/bf935e0e-8b9b-4265-85fc-67f76e3237a4.Three articles by you, three collections of articles by you, but then three wrong answers (although two of them featured interviews with you).

       @clive I see what I did wrong with the share button. Try this link: https://chat.openai.com/share/1768e046-8988-4e54-ba02-37e6e8ad8246.

       @clive Oh, that's a good point about YouTube transcripts.I blogged this week about whether ChatGPT is an answer machine or wordsmith or something else: https://derekbruff.org/?p=4071. The ChatGPT plugins changed my thinking about what kind of tool it is--more of a natural language interface to the web.

       @jenaecohn I have subscribed to two newsletters in the last 24 hours. And I just read the latest issue of one of them from start to finish.

       "Having everything that they need for a particular unit, module, chapter... within that course site so that they don’t have to go looking around for it is crucial."

       @clive This reminds of the “Shirley cards” that Kodak sent out to its one-hour photo shops in the 50s to calibrate their printers. The result was printers that did poorly with non-white skin… for decades. There wasn’t a non-white “Shirley” until the 80s. https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/shirley-cards/

       @clive Yes, please. “Content creator” is the worst. That’s what you call someone when you don’t know how to be more specific about what they make.
