If I were the director of "Safety and Intelligence" at Meta, and my bot deleted my inbox, I would not post about it online.

first they came to tell me to use blockchain, but i did not, because i was not stupid

then they came to tell me to use nfts, but i did not, because i had a brain

then they came to tell me to use the metaverse, but i did not, because it was the third time and they weren't really trying

then they came to tell me to use ai, but i did not, because honestly at this point i was just tired of the whole thing

then they came to tell me that this next thing was a sure thing, and i was happy, and dead

Maybe #smallweb or someone can help (please RT)

I am part of a group of 5-10 people that are trying to asynchronously collaborate on a few related topics.

Normally for this I would recommend Discord, Slack, forums etc.

The problem is the only method of communication everyone is comfortable with is email.

Regular email gets really messy really quickly, with different threads, people's replies including all history, etc.

Is there nothing that uses email but is forum-y?

I will never let my kid read Harry Potter. There is far better, far less hateful stuff out there for kids.

if llms are the future you'll find me in the past

the eternal struggle

to avoid saying how i really feel about ai on linkedin

ironic that they're called anthropic but they hate humanity

the beginnings of treating ai like unknowable, mystical magic

sorry what, you want the autocomplete to think for you?

people shit on the US for being a capitalist hellscape (and they should)

but japan's version is capitalism refined and infused into the deepest parts of culture in a way that US corporations _wish_ they could do too

i want to get into messing around with simple #c programming on very simple devices

my whole life i've been doing stuff on desktops, but i want to muck around with basic hardware. not soldering stuff but making little programs that do boops and beeps

i have a raspberry pi but even that seems too complicated

what would people recommend?

W. E. B. du Site

there's definitely no way that this could create a much _worse_ situation in 10 years right?

I mean, the US would really _love_ a stable, prosperous middle-east, right?

cory doctorow is an ai-using lib charlatan

canada never wants to be left out of a chance to suck up to the u.s.

i'm gonna miss our big stupid boy

I have a gaming laptop (I know, my mistake for buying one) and it shuts down when playing taxing games. CPU 95C, GPU 88C, 98W load. No minidump, nothing interesting in events other than "unexpected shutdown".

Any suggestions for how to debug or get more info?
