Hasan Minhaj deactivated his Twitter account on air during Wednesday night’s “Daily Show.”

Worth watching if only for the moment when he calls Madtodon the “Canada of Twitter” 😆

Felt like this aligned perfectly @matuzo

I've been using LLMs like #ChatGPT before they were hot. Here are two things I do to not make a fool out of myself:

- I have a sticky note saying "this thing hallucinates" within my visual spectrum. This helps me calibrate reliance

- anything it creates is, at best, P-creative, not H-creative. Helps me calm down when I see something exciting. (H-creative is a thought that no one ever thought of. P-creative is localized to the individual)

Not going to lie, Twitter killing off free API access hits me in the feels. I remember with great affection the flood of creativity that happened after we opened up the API, and it's sad to see that unceremoniously strangled.

I'm relieved that we've got better alternatives, though. While this is perhaps the final straw for many bots on Twitter, it's been a long time coming and the API has long been hobbled compared to the early days. Open protocols or bust. ✊

You can now add up to four social account links to your GitHub profile which render with a sprinkling of formatting support for our most popular platforms. Yes, the resulting links links will satisfy Mastodon verification requirements when rendered.

To get started, visit your profile and click the "Edit profile" button in the sidebar.

If you are still using Twitter, do not -- DO NOT -- use direct messages for anything you consider sensitive in any way. This goes triple for the journalists who insist on pouring their work into a site whose sociopath CEO has utter contempt for the press.

Did you know Algorithm as we use it today in Artificial Intelligence and in computer science was invented in Persia 1000 years ago?

The term "algorithm" is derived from the algorism, the technique of performing arithmetic developed by the Persian mathematician and astronomer al-Khwārizmī. Algorizmi so his name became algorithm by time, from al-Khwarizmi to àAlgorizmi and later to algorithm.

#AI #math #coding

An exchange here on Mastodon last month made me think about the fact that so many of us (including me) are walking around with stories inside our heads from the early days of networking. Some of it is early #InternetHistory ... some of it is from times before the #Internet.

I wrote a post about that today:

Some of it may be things we don't think are important.

I'm going to try to write down some of my memories.

What about you?
