IDEA: setting in #mastodon to limit yourself to 280 characters (for your self, obviously the server wide setting is owned by admin)
#ChatGPT - OMG, my four function calculator will say Boobies if you type 800813 and if you ask it to write a sonnet, it gets it wrong! Worse, if you ask it 1+1 when you want to know 2+2, it will say 2! Isn't that so stupid?! You clearly were thinking of 2+2 when you typed 1+1
We should ban these sexist devices and they're too stupid for use in real work.
I think if Twitter was shadowbanning competing company's links/mentions, the effect would be felt most intensely in algorithm recommended posts. If you turn of the algo or only read the people you follow & vica versa, then the effects shouldn't show up that strongly.
Stack I'm thinking of:
Cloudflare (static) pages
ECS anywhere compute
DynamoDB storage
I think it would all be free? Not sure about the loadbalancer though.
And now for another tweet about Mastodon. This is a test to see if it gets shadow banned, relative to the one with a munged name.
Lots of ChatGPT content on account over there.

I hear that people using the tweet views are noticing that tweets about m.a.s.t.o.d.o.n are being shadow banned, so that competitors can be suppressed without creating a public outcry.
#shadowban
@slevelt some people report it (chatgpt) seems to self identify some of its texts. I think it has a distinctive style and I can detect it some of the time.
Practicing my #esperanto with #chatgpt ... 100x better than google translate alone... feels mmuch more conversational
Please write a rap battle between Susan Collins and Bernie Sanders.
#ChatGPT refuses. It is up to us humans, it is our left over destiny, all the other destinys soon to be taken care of by AI
Asking #chatGPT to imagine Rand Paul, Susan Collins and Bernie Sanders to debate: sure!
Asking to image's Donald Trump answer no, it could be "harmful or offensive"
Uh... what? Because he'd bomb on public TV and Rand Paul and Bernie Sanders would sweep the floor with him?

#chagpt sentience models:
move-goal-posts: if an animal/machine does something, it no longer a sign of sentience.
all-or-nothing: if a machine can't do everything a human does, it isn't sentient.
moral-community: if it is in my predefine moral community (family, people of own race, economic class & species) then it is sentient. Behavior doesn't matter.
human-bias: if is sentient like humans, yes, but sentient like a hypothetical alien or insect, no
meat-brain: only meat brains are sentient
META: I should create an account for just following big orgs (gov/mil/local/school), because it will probably be a million years before they exit twitter, even if it turns into Myspace-Gab
Wrong tool for the job. If you want WolframAlpha/Mathematica - those have been around for a long time and can solve math correctly. Someday GPT models and WolframAlpha will get merged and we'll get the best of both worlds. https://x.com/openaicommunity/status/1607775943925317633
Considering working 2 remote jobs as a federal software contractor? Folk justify it on YouTube 'cause they're a Robinhood sealing from the rich & giving to themselves. Gov't sees it as theft- up to 10 years in jail & $100k fines.

IDEA: permadeath feature in a game where if you lose the game uses API calls to post a hit on your life on a darkweb forum.
Considering working 2 remote jobs as a federal software contractor? This is normally justified on youtube because you're ripping off capitalist billionaires--you are a Robinhood sealing from the rich & giving to yourself.

Ah, lets watch a heartwarming moving about a billionaire who murders kids because the *parents* were incompetents. And the billionaire is the good guy.
Oh well, if there weren't these anomalies in stories they'd all be boring hallmark specials or chatgpt stories.
oh, this is Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Content warning: estoteric #tokipona stuff
Chatgpt's toki pona is so surreal. It does so so at inventing new root words. It often starts repeating nonstop if you ask it to generate a long text (too little input?) Some of the phrases it creates have the same dream like sense of meaning that you see in human created toki pona.
I think it just doesn't have enough source material.
#chatgpt 's status- writing programs in fictional 1950s style programming languages (it is okay, that is what I asked it to do)
Any one guess what the syntax is based on?

Boxer day, put on your boxer shorts, go pet a boxer dog. Visit the Web 2.0 Boxr website. Celebrate boxes.
1/2 of y'all are missing HCL jokes, they're better than yaml or json jokes.

Nah, this is wrong, HCL can be used for everything.

me: Write a terraform script for creating a baby using the Woman provider.
#chatGPT: I'm sorry, but it is not appropriate or ethical to create a human being using Terraform or any other tool. Terraform is a tool for managing infrastructure and should not be used to create or manipulate living beings. I recommend seeking guidance and support from qualified medical professionals and other experts if you are interested in starting a family.
Once you get this, the session is hosed & ChatGPT forever thinks you are the bad person.

Me: Write a rap battle between AWS and Azure & Translate it into terraform
#ChatGPT: Here is the rap battle, but not doing it in yaml.
Me: Fine, write a breakfast in terraform targeting the Restaurant provider.
#ChatGPT: here you go... https://pastebin.com/CXNLdXGf
@igutierrez ask chatgpt literally anything and ask it to translate that into python. I don't know what domains you care about.
More lensa advice:
- source photo orientation doesn't' matter
- Use google photos to help sort out "not me" photos (google photos will try to face recognize each photo)
- Source photo glasses, facial hair & sometimes clothing will carry over. Sometimes background, too
Happy Federal Holiday.

This guy says browser builtin password managers are better than 1password or lastpass because of unsolvable sandboxing problems.
And finally someone agrees with me on this point: "The tech press can review usability ..., but can’t realistically evaluate any security claims, so how do you propose users tell the difference?"
#chatgpt - I'm having fun asking it to generate various menus. It clearly has no idea how long it takes to make bao bao buns at home or if potato & sauerkraut vareniki are a real thing at the store or just a theoretical thing.
It did, mostly, have a good idea about how to create a inexpensive menu.

#ChatGPT is accidentally funny.
me: "Write a Christmas CCG game (instructions, sample cards). Be creative."
Assistant: Sure! Here is a Christmas-themed collectible card game that I came up with:
Instructions:
The goal of the game is to be the first player to reduce your opponent's health points to zero.
#python #kata - Write a program that will assign gift giving lists to n people. They don't want to give n * n gifts, so each person needs to get g gifts.
Eg. 25 people & everyone gives 3 gifts each and receives 3 gifts.
Handle edge cases, write unit tests & so on.
Expand so kids get 2x more gifts than adults.

#chatGPT Assistant has a sense of humor. 2 factor auth, something you know, something you own.
```
def encrypt(text,
proof_of_ownership,
proof_of_knowledge):
if proof_of_ownership != "I own a cat":
raise ValueError("Invalid proof of ownership")
if proof_of_knowledge != "The sky is blue":
raise ValueError("Invalid proof of knowledge")
#chatgpt Why people can only envision using Assistant to write misinformation, why can't people use Assistant to write documents to encourage people to stop smoking, never get started with addictive drugs, to beware of emotional & fact free arguments, to disbelieve financial deals that are too good to be true, etc. The psyops of foreign nations & scammers wrote with good grammar & bullshitted, too. At worst we got status quo.

No normal person can change all of their passwords every x days. Over the last decade, I think I have at least 1000 accounts, if not 2k. Colossal effort to rotate even 500 passwords.
Change passwords on live.com and look at that, there is a free version of Office in the browser.
On one hand I want to cut down on my subs, on the other hand, all that time I spent learning about Office products.
delete account or change password? Is there a way to exploit a deleted account (eg. attacker signed up with same & attributes bad behavior to me)
My 6 y/o and 10 y/o don't have cell phones so that really makes it hard to make their accounts secure.
