The only thing ChatGPT ever does.

Andrew Kadel @DrewKadel@social.coop

My daughter, who's had a degree in computer science for 25 years, posted this about ChatGPT on Facebook. It's the best description I've seen.

Something that seems fundamental to me about ChatGPT, which gets lost over and over again:

When you enter text into it, you're asking "What would a response to this sound like?"

If you put in a scientific question, and it comes back with a response citing a non-existent paper with a plausible title, using a real journal name and an author name who's written things related to your question, it's not being tricky or telling lies or doing anything at all surprising! This is what a response to that question would sound like! It did the thing!

But people keep wanting the "say something that sounds like an answer" machine to be doing something else, and believing it *is* doing something else.

It's good at generating things that sound like responses to being told it was wrong, so people think that it's engaging in introspection or looking up more information or something, but it's not, it's only, ever, saying something that sounds like the next bit of the conversation.

Last night I recorded an ep on Superman (2025) with @tethilus.bsky.social and @julietstmoon.bsky.social. I will continue to assert that while also a fun ride, it provides a real sense of joy and hope that I feel everyone deeply needs right now. Give it a watch. Even if superheroes aren't your bag.

You're right Frogadier, why shouldn't I keep the Ring? After all, I found it.

When NHK asked Nobuo Uematsu about his inspiration in composing Final Fantasy VII's "One-Winged Angel," he said "I wondered what it would be like if I combined the rock of Jimi Hendrix with the orchestra of Igor Stravinsky."

All I can say on Trans Day of Visibility is that trans people are not alone. There are people who love you, are afraid alongside you, and will fight for you. Definitely not enough, but a lot. I hope one day trans people can get their measure of joy without needing to take fear alongside it.

If you've enjoyed Cryptmaster, please consider sharing the news. Despite an IGF award, a 95% Steam rating and a free demo, the game has gone mostly unnoticed by both press and players. It's not just a typing game and there may still be people out there who would enjoy it!
