Are there people out there looking for ways to be in a state of "I can't turn off my computer"?

@chailey_ @seldo If it was not clear, I was being sarcastic. Meta ruins everything, including things they make.

@joelarson4 @seldo …except there’s no “Following” feed (which is a deal-killer for me). Instagram has that (still), even Twitter does (despite both of them pushing me to the algorithmic feed, I can switch back). No such luck with Threads :-(

I am also on threads.net as @seldo as we all try yet another alternative...

I don't know what to tell you guys. We have to expand the Court. If we don't expand the Court, no liberal policy will be allowed to exist for the rest of our lives. That's why Republicans stole the court, that's why rich people pay for justices. Govern yourselves accordingly.

@alinelernerLLC Meanwhile: Very insightful article

I don't believe that AI can do hiring. People think that if you combine data from LinkedIn, GitHub & the social graph (who follows whom on Twitter etc.), you'll be able to find the right engineers & match them to companies. This is incorrect. Here's why. interviewing.io/blog/why-ai-ca…

Snarky but: can't we make nohello.com part of new hire orientation for like every company that uses a messaging system?

@Zoom the gesture recognition for 👍🏻 and ✋🏻is awesome. But (A) it takes way too long to lock in, very awkward wait, and (B) it doesn't seem to work for left hand.

@polotek totally.

To be clear, I'm not suggesting everybody should be like me. Far from it. My larger point is that we are entering a world where each of us can have what we *personally* want. In a world of abundance, it's really okay to just like what you like.

So I'm one of those people who got older and lost interest in most newer music. I don't feel bad about it. It's not the worst thing, and I've got other things to do. But even when I try to find new stuff, it's tough. The spotify algo just throws anything at the wall.

@polotek there is a *lot* of great music coming out all the time in all genres. i keep up with the things i like via a few sources that align with my taste. it is a lot of effort though and i only put in the effort because it's my thing. i pity the casual listener.

I thought music would be resistant to this because it's so intertwined with the artists persona. But it turns out nope. We are gonna drown in mediocre, undifferentiated content everywhere. It's the price of abundance and actually succeeding at tearing down gatekeepers. We won.

@sarah_edo Regex, from the Latin "Regis", meaning "King". Definitely.

I know we're all really excited about AI right now, but have you ever tried regex? Shit's like magic.

I think what gets me most about the "AI art makes making art more ACCESSIBLE" is that... it doesn't. Putting aside the discussions of money and disability wrt creating art... AI does not simulate the experience of creating art. It simulates the experience of commissioning art lol
