@jensilber@mastodon.social @augieray@mastodon.social I loved Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, and the sheer number, variety, and quality of songs he worked on there is mind-boggling

@globalmuseum@mastodon.online I had to verify it was real! It's Marula Eugster Rigolo on Italia's Got Talent https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwrJU9TTEKM
Marula, la dea dell’equilibrio ipnotizza i giudici

@DrewKadel@social.coop alt text:
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.

@stonetoolsblog@mastodon.social 1. I have a paper copy of August 1980 on hand. I'll look into scanning it. 2. You could reach out to Ellen Datlow on Bluesky. She might have ideas.

@lindsey @brainwane I didn't want or need to rhyme "standalone" and "macaroni" but I might never be able to avoid it again

It might be that someone's parsing monkeys as people, not issues

@stonetoolsblog@mastodon.social about the Omni font, and requests for improvements:
Have you already scoured the scans at the Internet Archive?
What kind of DPI are you looking for?
Have you posted a list of what you've already looked at?
