@headius @lucianghinda Any insight into how to join?

@lucianghinda I’m in now but I’ll have to evaluate how best to share JRuby info lest I be flagged for self-promotion. It is a peculiar rule given that the people who share articles first are usually the authors themselves.

Anyone got the keys to the lobste.rs castle? I don’t have an invite and new users are put in purgatory, but I’d love to submit my posts there!

@PomeloGames Where can I see a list of your liveops/expansions?

Outlanders Chronicles Vol. III Life of Yolotli is now live! 🥑 Apple Arcade apple.co/-OutlandersPlay Steam bit.ly/OutlandersSteam Thank you all so much for supporting and playing Outlanders! 💚

@DanFarfan @ImMollyBloom @OpenAI Good luck with your proposal. I applied too.

@ImMollyBloom very #wellPut Where was this 2 weeks ago? :-) It would've been the stone-cold killer opening quote for my @OpenAI "Democratic inputs to AI" grant proposal, "Good Citizen in the Age of AI" Announcements are expected on Friday. I'll share after, if you're curious.

In my experience, being a truly good human isn’t easy. It requires relentless practice, & contrary action to hard wired instincts. Instead of shaming, canceling and being overly punitive, we should try to be realistic, and instructive on how to overcome our lower natures.

@LearningengAki I want to know too.

OpenAI's Democratic Inputs to AI Who are the 10 research groups that will enjoy the earned honor to engage in further prototyping and compiling reports. I can't wait to see what kind of mechanisms and processes that all of the team envisioned,will experiment and come up together!

@MsBooSZ @Wordscapes Those are all legit. Are they really blocked?

@Wordscapes I'm in the southern hemisphere, so I'll take the opportunity to share some words that WS rejects yet they are WORDS: Geas Lee Dibs Hank Pooh Drat Elven Cant Ratter Tonne Ken Glute Please have the developers add them to the database

For those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, it’s the first day of summer! How are you celebrating? 🥥🌺

This was kind of delightful: I uploaded a CSV file of every lighthouse location in the US. "ChatGPT Code Interpreter: Create a gif of a map of the lighthouse locations, where the map is very dark but each lighthouse twinkles." A couple seconds later...

I asked ChatGPT how many rockets it would take to crash the smaller Martian moons (Phobos or Deimos) into the planet. It refused to answer me, chiding me three times about the ethical implications.

If you are going to let your birds FaceTime their friends, it's only ethical if you give them a choice of which friend to call. NYT paywall: lnkd.in/eaPPg8UG

A Brief History of Kids Today Have No Respect 🧵

@NicholasFerroni Love all the diagnosing comments. Especially from people who obviously haven’t spent time with kids anytime recently. We don’t know if this was a whim or a routine. All we DO know is she goes to bed early.

My buddy just texted me that he was in his daughter’s room and found her morning schedule. She’s 10. He said “she has more structure at 10 than I do at 45.”

@amazingmap They used the coordinates for Point Nemo in "Top Gun: Maverick" for the enemy base of the unnamed "Rouge Nation" to avoid pissing anyone off.
