@dave funny I saw this yesterday with a query about dataviz treemap GPT4 returned 5 answers with links & 4 of them 404ed. After googling around I found the content.I’d posit such mistakes are either due to the time the link is learned it later moves or that it is treating URLs like text and stats expanding them making inherently bad ones because of the char/word guessing and the obvious sensitivity of a URL to exactness. The later seems way more troubling.

I think we need some sort of agreement in #webdev that you are just not ready to use a JavasScript framework to emit #HTML and #CSS until you actually understand more than <div> tags and slapping a bunch of utility classes on things. Otherwise you are just automating the emission of 💩

I know some hate #succession this season but some of these lines are just genius“It’s like Jaws. If everyone in Jaws worked for Jaws.”"Cat food Ozymandias" “Bodega sushi? Are you insane?” "They’re not all crypto-fascists and right-wing nut jobs. We also have some venture capital dems and centrist ghouls. Dad’s ideological range was wide.”“Congratulations on saying the biggest number, you fucking morons.” "Greg, do not put any more lemon water or wasabi in his eyes, OK?"

If certain people are bagging and saying the Fedi is where old techies go to live out their golden years online, then sign me the fuck up now, and also can I have an account with a view? Ok, now that is all settled, who is up for 68000 assembly bingo?#Mastodon #Fediverse #Joke #ILoveThisPlace

“Clever” solution for when you can't fix something just say the user broke the service terms. Read all about #ChatGPT "fix" to the disclosure of retained trained content at 404Media https://www.404media.co/asking-chatgpt-to-repeat-words-forever-is-now-a-terms-of-service-violation/Happy those fine folks at @404mediaco are not falling into the trap of access journalism and rather have their muck rakes ready to go!

Well I finally broke my long term luck and am positive with #COVIDI did most of the right things over the years with masks and vaxxing but we are so loose now it was bound to happen esp being on campus and having massive lectures. Sadly it isn’t some simple cold or flu I feel weird as hell. 😬 so shifting down to a lower gear in my life for a bit.
