       @misty yeah wow. I wonder why someone initially thought this was necessary to put in place, but glad it was fixed quickly.

       @simon I'd argue that having a computer write for you is surrender, not a tool. I don't consider myself a confident writer, but the idea of handing over any of my writing to a computer that isn't tailored to my linguistic and cultural background is uncomfortable, and it should make everyone uncomfortable. Writing is more than just filling space between ideas.It's not about "deserving" to produce things without effort, it's about the fact that the ensuing production is mostly bland filler without any unique traits that identify it as "yours." If our society requires that people generate massive amounts of writing where they are OK with their own voice being replaced by the global-mean-internet-immersed-English-speaker voice, then I'd argue we should fix those systems instead.

       @simon @glyph Yep, and those scenarios in most situations should not require enough filler/bridging material to be any longer than the prompt you provide to ChatGPT. If they do, we should fix that.

       It's childish contrarianism to want to outright reject Meta adopting activitypub.There are plenty of reasons to be concerned about what this means and how to handle it but if you want this technology to matter in the slightest, it needs widespread adoption. Otherwise it's just a toy for the terminally online, technological masturbation, software solipsism.Maybe you want the tech you use to be a toy forever, but I don't. I want these things to become standard, boring, in the background. You don't get there by rejecting every attempt at commercialization.

       The world where the tech-literate use one set of technologies and the "unwashed masses" use whatever mass-produced proprietary thing is being shipped by megacorps breeds elitism and contempt.

       @apps I saw it, but none of these really seemed applicable to me. I like it because it works, plain and simple. I don't think I've used any of the listed features.
