So the first knocker-upper was late

Thought it could be a liability sometimes! Maybe that ship sailed

paranoid

Mm who wants to rely on someone keeping a verbal promise when it says in writing something like your privacy is at stake?

Download a little offline Wiki for rainy days folks!

I take connectivity for granted but shouldn’t. Batteries charged, books on the shelf, offline games and media stored locally…

I wonder if there’s a parallel universe where the labs instead went to the other extreme and require intelligence tests to onboard to their platforms.

And the outcry is, not inappropriately, about how many are being denied access to the latest technologies. The policy could effectively be construed as racist, even.

Anyway the middle ground there is pretty obvious. (Though I’m not sure how I’d design it just right, so e.g. folks without access to traditional/expensive mental healthcare might still be able to see some small benefit if it’s determined to be safe, just like maybe it could be safe for a well-adjusted individual to complain to it about their day for a couple minutes before moving on to real things. Sure I suppose it’s inherently unsafe but a proportion of the population should be making that decision for themselves.)

I just tried this with ChatGPT three days ago and there’s a chance they have tried to make it slightly less sycophantic

I was essentially trying to get it to tell me I was the smartest baby born in whatever year like that YouTuber—different example but it was so resistant to agreeing to me or my idea or whatever being unique/exceptional.

Hope this is a specific direction and not random chance, A/B testing, etc.

Fascinating.

Looks like we gotta fix that redirecting BoarTaint dot com citation link [2] on Wiki

Very interesting, how’d they enforce that?

As a noob, those little wrappers are great.

Well, I just started considering multi-tools and attachment heads and all that :)

Good point, right!

Whoh thousands and not hundreds?

Very nice. The screenshots look promising!

MacDown is pretty solid, but I’ve been looking at alternatives. Unfortunately, while MarkText may be feature-rich, latency is untenable. I think that one’s an Electron app.

In 2019, The North Face faced consumer backlash and apologized after its marketing agency surreptitiously added photos featuring its apparel to Wikipedia articles on popular outdoor destinations.

Edit: they also sent a cease & desist to The South Butt a decade before that

Food for thought:

Always room for disagreement

That’s so cool, the integrated quality levels

We can still pass flash drives around, at least until ID requirements come to file systems, ports, and peripherals.

Ya I don’t think folks need to be called out twice in a row in two different places. This would be a pathway for repeat offenders who refuse to acknowledge feedback perhaps?
