You should have bet on it.

The fact your handle says you're a baby makes this weirder and darker. Well done.

It's cute, but no we cannot keep it.

Sure - but I want the backstory about the forbidden love between that zebra and the lion. Was it like a romeo juliet thing?

Animal, Vegetable, and Mineral.

We're in the Guardian too! RELOOTED is basically mainstream!

"Hobby Tunneling" is my favourite wikipedia page.

Free her from her mortal foil.

Hell yeah! We're in @theverge.com

You don't need the "if" ;_;

Murmurant Games is registered! Say hello to a new narrative game studio :)

Murmuration is emergent coordination in flights of birds. It's social movements without leaders. It's narrative complexity from honestly motivated characters. It's simple game mechanics creating a living world.

But CO2 is actually dangerous. Every year people are suffocated by CO2. In 1986 Lake Nyos disaster 1700 people were killed by a CO2 eruption from the lake.

The zine jams are consistently our favourite events, bringing a quiet, quirky community to collaborate and/or co-work with physical materials. If you haven't attended before and don't know what a 'zine jam' even is - well, folk get together to assemble small experiences packaged as booklets, pamphlets, magazines, maps or anything really. They can be unique or photocopied. They can be filled with writing or drawings or collages or anything really. This February we're leaning further into that in two ways... Number one is our theme: ANALOG. Literally 'analog' means data stored in physical qualities, but it has become the antithesis of modern progress, and maybe the antidote to modern problems. Which leads to number two: we're asking participants to turn off phones during the jam.

RAVEL is jamming in Cape Town again! Zine Jam: ANALOG

For this you must own your IP. Do not give it away. There are people with wonderful work who own none of it and survive from gig to gig.

Braid the long tail of your work into a sustainable career.

Myth of Obsolescence!

Screenshop of a bluesky post with a wildly incorrect opinion that reads: "Finally watch Spider-verse. Huh. That was a much weaker film than the first, even ignoring the cliffhanger, which I didn't know to expect so woof nice sour note to end on. I'm not even sure if I liked that? Not that I disliked it, but compared to the first it was just content. IP slop. Bleh."

I hold my rosary tightly as rock back and forth chanting:

"People are allowed to dislike what you like. People are allowed to dislike what you like. People are allowed..."

@freelives.bsky.social you know what you need to do.

Maybe a tax on property size per inhabitant.

You have a point, though I'm unconvinced that there's a single industry/niche that can be taken as a comparison - which is sort of the promise of llms. Find information! Get advice! Research! Write essays! Talk to a fake psychologist! Meet your new best friend!

It's a trap!

Soon...

Why do you think that comparing llm usage specifically to search engine uses is the right method to gage llm uptake?

Continued..
The quoted paragraph doesn't really disuade me because it's still comparing very different things and using a modifier to do so.

I did read it, and unless I'm misunderstanding, it means that to get a number of 'searches' they had to remove all the other ways chatgpt was being used.

So arguing that yahoo gets more searches than chagpt is missing the point of the thread, which is that llms are being widely used.

Article is comparing share of 'searches' specifically - 'use of chatgpt or llms' in this conversation is obviously about their broader use.

Oh sorry - I thought you're afrikaans

Incorrect. It is clearly pronounced "Good Ou" because it is a good ou, right ouens?

Kinda rude of Dude2 to assume Dude1 can't make money posting nudes. I for one believe that a man cam do anything a woman can do. (Except endure menstrual cramps)

Exhibit B: Skype.
