@neurovagrant Turns out the weakest link was just waiting for a better prompt.

@yaxu This much we can say - gender "norms" have never served the best interests of creative professions.

Elderly Miss Butterscotch decided to venture out, onto the front porch, to sit in a shaft of winter sunlight.

@chad Who is that shifty little monkey with the beer bottle?

@Huntn00@mastodon.world @BrianJopek@mastodon.world Ol' Barney Frank, he of pageboy fame - once said "If you put up a little sign in the Rose Garden reading 'The line for giving the President a blow job starts here' - half of Washington would be lined up." Buried his wife on a golf course. W.T.F.

@0x575446@mastodon.social @paninid@mastodon.world When COVID arrived, we spent MWF in the office and TTh remote. Found out COVID had made it into this big pole barn where we worked - and nobody told me. I quit on the spot.

@paninid@mastodon.world The answer is fairly obvious: tax driving. If your employer says you need to commute, he pays the distance from your residence to your parking spot - and employees need parking spots - no more of this 100 employees and 50 parking spots.

@stefano By working backwards from a Tree of Usages, you force the AI (or the human author) to adhere to a strict Contract. Input: "To start a service on illumos, use systemctl start..." Working Backwards: Target: systemctl. Parent Tree: Linux/Systemd. Declared Context: illumos. Assertion Failure: systemctl does not exist in the illumos usage tree.

@oysta Don't come. We'll tell you lot when it's safe again. Hopefully soon.

@janl@narrativ.es You beg the question of AI being unethical on a per se basis. Every technology goes through this transformation: First a toy Then a tool Then a weapon My gripe is this: the philosophers need to get busy and give us an appropriate vocabulary, lexicon - as component descriptive to AI. Problem is, philosophy people probably didn't take linear algebra in college.

@sashag [grimly] Old straight white guy - when I was in the Army, in the 70s, we had queer people in our platoon. We covered for them, our sense of unit loyalty trumped anything else. Our unit commander knew, too. We closed ranks around those guys. I never thought I'd see this day - again. But here we are. Time to get with the plan, folks. Our LGBTQ people are not feeling okay. We gotta be the friends they need.
