Pretty much every closed system you depend on (operating systems, libs, online services, social media, marketplaces) will eventually make decisions you can’t abide, it’s largely just a matter of when.

It’s ok to depend on them anyway, so long as you don’t delude yourself of this fact, and are prepared to pull the rip cord when the inevitable happens. Always have a plan B, even if that’s “burn it all and start again”

If you’re not willing to accept this, only depend on things you can control.

kept typoing "ls" as "lsd" so i fixed it

@_L1vY_ Oooh we may be in luck!

From Bird.Makeup documentation:

"Unlike BirdsiteLive, bird.makeup doesn't use official twitter api, but the undocumented frontend api, just like nitter.net, which doesn't have rate limiting."

And I found the developer. @vincent. THANK YOU!!

A judge used ChatGPT AI chatbot to write a decision in a court case about an autistic child’s healthcare, including to write the arguments about the legal technicalities. Jesus fucking christ. https://www.vice.com/en/article/k7bdmv/judge-used-chatgpt-to-make-court-decision

Everything happening right now with Twitter will happen with GitHub.

Hey JavaScriptLandians, good to see you all on Mastodon.

it seems as if every day science takes another giant leap forward

Banning free API use blocks anyone who's inclined to abide by the rules but does nothing to stop anyone who's already using the official app API keys to look like a human

PSA: I do not have a Mastodon account. There are a few posing as me, but they're not me. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1620788005400346624

It's public as of this morning that I'm representing Stability AI (maker of Stable Diffusion) in defending against copyright litigation based on training of its dataset.

Ah, gotta love malicious compliance.

Reminder that "free research access" to OpenAI's #ChatGPT really means *you* are giving *them* free access to human intelligence for *their* research

(You don't own your prompts; have no access to your prompt history; cannot erase them; and have consented to release all your prompt tuning cleverness to them in perpetuity — all in exchange for the privilege of developing a serious dependency on text regurgitation that will form the backbone of their soon to be introduced subscription model)
