I had a 3 min conversation with a customer service representative today. 2 of those 3 mins were spent trying to determine whether or not I was speaking to an AI agent or a real human being!

Never rains but it pours! First Cloudflare, now Github's Git operations suffers a 'major outage'.

AWS last month, taking out half the net. And Cloudflare today (although relatively brief) effectively doing the same. 🤔 The fate of many, in the hands of a few.

I still love my Zoom H4n pro, but boy does it eat AA batteries! Powering it with a 10000mAh power bank via USB to power cord saves me worrying about battery failure during longer recording sessions, and saves a ton on AA batteries.

Encrypting your data prior to upload can nerf so much of big tech's nefarious AI practices. A drive to offer users convenient, native data encryption is desperately needed.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

100% agree. I don't even disagree with the premise of planetary colonisation. I think it's something cool to aspire to as a species. But pioneered by Elon?! Hell no!

But no! Let's instead, expend those precious resources, energy and time to travel to and colonise an inhospitable planet featuring none of the aforementioned life-sustaining requirements! Galaxy brain indeed!

We inhabit a planet that (currently) has breathable air, drinkable water and abundant resources. Enough to sustain us for generations, IF we collectively commit to taking care of it.

I remember being introduced to Google by a friend in the late 90s whilst at uni. It was super fast and gave relevant results. Fast-forward to 2024, and Google Search is one of the examples given by Wikipedia's entry for 'Enshittification' 😥
