@mastodonusercount@mastodon.social Isn't @Gargron@mastodon.social getting married today or this weekend? Kind of cool metric.

@atomicpoet absolutely this. I boost when I want others to see it. I like when I have and I like it. :) Case in point - I like a lot of what you say, but I only boost stuff I think would be relevant to MY kind of community. You're way more technical than a lot of the people I chat with and I don't think they'd CARE about some of the details. I DO so I follow you, and I like them when I see it. :)

@kathygriffin@mstdn.social 0 times personally. One of the c-suite I'm in the same ecosystem as, has had it FOUR TIMES as of last week.

@GraysonBell@writing.exchange Honestly, because the approach wouldn't solve the underlying issue. With machine learning algorithms data science can train and then actually develop "original works of art" using the same style/flavor/voice of the original. Essentially, we can teach a robot to think/do the same things we believe Grayson Bell would think/do in the same scenario. Unlike humans, computers can't make leaps of intuition. So you can know that fire is hot even though you've never touched it. AI/ML can't do that - it pretends by sheer brute force simulation. The computer asks itself twenty million times how something could be and records what answers it came up with and then references that sheet whenever you ask it a question. The sheer amount of effort from humans to even train the smallest decisions is substantial. Entire companies exist to just make the concept of "I asked an AI to read all of XYZ" possible within a 'reasonable' timeframe. Ethics always fall behind the technology curve. Business doesn't want to invest in morals - they want to invest in profits. Morals and ethic business practices are what happens AFTER someone gets the first. @Manigarm@mastodon.social

@tuckerteague@mastodon.social absolutely agree. I often star almost immediately after reading if it's been sent TO me. I think of it as almost an acknowledgement of receipt or someone wanting to save what was said. I'm hopeful the people who drug thousands of people with them will eventually learn those people will leave if they don't engage with them.
