Hey @microsoft, @BingChatbot_AI just identified my location in chat, then told me that I gave it that information, but I didn't. I have a chat log, if you're interested. Can Bing chat dox people? Did it get my location from my Microsoft account information?

@JonathanMTweet I guess debunking linguistic determinism is the new hotness, I keep running across it in the YouTube content I watch, and in other places. Or maybe I'm just getting a visit from Baader-Meinhof.

Luckily, humans are clever enough that language doesn't determine how we think. People who make their living with words often seem to exaggerate the power of words. So do people who can't change policy but who can police others' speech.

New on the HxA blog: #POV While linguistic determinism is an old concept, it's still a hot topic. Amy Lai writes that some people believe language is so full of inherent biases that it undermines learning, academic freedom, and democratic governance. ow.ly/U4tg50Q5bYl

@markwalt If Luddites are what you have in mind when you say that the term is new but the practice is old, you'll get no argument from me. It sounds like you disagree with people who say that there is no such thing as cancel culture since obviously this has been going on for centuries.

There seems to have been a consensus that "cancel culture" doesn't exist, but now people are being harassed & fired for opposing Israel, and that does exist. So do we need a term for this "new" phenomenon ("quashing culture"?), or is it that "cancel culture" has started to exist?

@JonathanMTweet I would say that the sabotage performed by the Luddites would be an example. Not exactly the same as a modern boycott, but in older days boycotts and strikes were more likely to be illegal, and so, anonymity was desirable.

Dear everyone. In todays video when I made the joke about discovering what the J in Homer J. Simpson stood for, I was in fact referencing the episode where he learns that it is Jay. That was the reference I was intentionally making. You do not need to explain it to me.

@JonathanMTweet I would say that if light exists without needing an observer, then it can refract. Therefore, rainbows should exist whether they can be seen or not.

If a rainbow appears in the sky, but there is no sighted animal there to see it, does it have color? Does it even "appear" in the first place? This question must be easier than the "tree falls in the forest" quandary.

a handful of other pics taken with the CL30 Clik that didn't make it into the video I really quite like the look this provides, even with the wonky downscaling it performs

On LGR today is the first (and only) digital camera using Iomega Clik disks for storage! youtu.be/RpNXb-6tahQ The Agfa CL30 Clik released in 1999 and used 40MB Clik disks, which cost far less than CompactFlash!...and hardly anyone bought the thing. But dang it sure was neat.

@ryanarey I really wanted to like this show, but, I sort of lost interest during the second episode, and haven't been back to watch it.

@JonathanMTweet By the time we learn how to pronounce it, he'll have been exiled and/or poisoned and/or tossed off a balcony.

I’m sorry, but this is just a brazen & dangerous dereliction of journalistic duty. We’ve gone from CNN telling hosts not to refer to election denialism on air as ‘the big lie’ to now having election deniers pushing the big lie/2020 conspiracies without any pushback from the host!
Aaron Rupar@atrupar

CNN follows up on the Trump town hall by interviewing GOP Rep. Brian Mast, an election denier who pushes the big lie with impunity during his interview

@KaiInRealLife @itsginnydi ran a D&D game with two AI's as players. ChatGPT rolled up a half-elf wizard named Aurora, and Google's Bard rolled up a human bard named Bard. I used Bing to assist Co-DM with scenario and NPC help.

Character idea: A Kenku bard who collects small rocks and baubles on his adventure and gives them to his companions sometimes as little gifts to remind them he loves them. 🥹🤓🤗

@craig1black I'd watch a more public /// channel. Even if you ramble. Glad you got your mojo back.

@markwalt @YouTube Sadly all you get is a generic email which is a summary judgement of guilt. I filed for an appeal, but the respnos robot said I should hear back in 2 days but it could be longer.

It seems @YouTube has suspended one of my channels! They say "We have reviewed your content and found severe or repeated violations of our Community Guidelines." Apparently I'm impersonating "Adrian Black" and "Adrian's Digital Basement!" In 2023 you can't be yourself!
