Book buying, scuba diving, urologist, who is a sucker for puns, cute animal pictures and new recipes. If we could all stop calling it junk and go back to calling it jewels, my job would be easier (but probably less interesting). #urology

What a ride! Don’t start reading this unless you have the time to get through it in 1-2 days because you will be sucked in. I cried (more than once), cheered, gasped. Loved every moment of it. #audiobook #📚 #Whalefall

Better late than never, as I slowly realize that my time is finite. My days have only 24 hours and I’m remarkably unrealistic about what I can accomplish in that time. Especially when refuse to make my entire life work and tasks. Balance? I’m just trying to find sanity. Balance is just a dream.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Abysmal statement from Canada on the illegal US action in Venezuela. It doesn’t matter how much you dislike Maduro, that doesn’t justify a violation of international law and the UN Charter. You can’t call on “all parties” to respect international law and not call out US lawlessness.

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.
