@mmasnick man. Elon banning the Santa tracker right before Christmas is a very bold move.

Hello! 👋 #Fedora

All of my Twitter accounts have been banned. Even my personal make sure to stay connected with me. https://grndcntrl.net/links/

Elon falsely claimed @elonjet endangers his safety (ADS-B data is public record), promised not to ban them, then banned them. Anyway, they’re here now.

Cheers mates, for a glorious Wednesday

NEW from us today:

Is any exchange safe enough to use as a wallet and store your money there?

No, of course not. Never use an exchange as a wallet. Don't store money on exchanges. Do your exchange then withdraw.

While AI avatar generator Lensa generated realistic yet flattering avatars for men—think astronauts, fierce warriors, and cool cover photos for electronic music albums— a female MIT journalist got skimpy clothes and overtly sexualized poses. It's likely the data set: Because the internet is overflowing with images of naked or barely dressed women, and pictures reflecting sexist, racist stereotypes, the data set is also skewed toward these kinds of images. https://www.technologyreview.com/2022/12/12/1064751/the-viral-ai-avatar-app-lensa-undressed-me-without-my-consent/ #AI

What’s good Mastodon!? What do we call ourselves? Mastos? Mastodoners! Doners? FEDERALISTS?? Please tell me we are federalists. I would love to reclaim that word.

My god, it actually works.

Maybe the problem with the whole "AI lets students just fake essays" discourse is the idea that universities are somehow competent at determining how well someone will perform a job

What's happening at Twitter feels instructive. What if a ruthless right-wing lunatic took control of Facebook or Google or Microsoft? Why shouldn't we expect the Facebook Oversight Board to be stacked with people like Bari Weiss eventually?

Of course this won't happen...like President Donald Trump would never happen according to virtually everyone's gut feelings up to 2015(?)

"Where's the bard," demanded the executioner.

The guards looked sheepish, "Er... He may have seduced his way out of custody."

The executioner's expression was obscured by his near opaque hood, "Oh."

"And that's why we are behind these bars - without our gear or purses."

The guards continued to look sheepish until one said, "You don't normally come down here to fetch prisoners."

The executioner sniffled, "He said we'd run away together."
