"Nowadays, #email is more important than phone numbers, yet there is no regulation in sight on moving addresses as one can move phone numbers between telephone providers."

TRUE & important. Refuse#gmail, listen to Migadu: https://www.migadu.com/blog/gmail/

also for all THESE reasons: https://stop.zona-m.net/tag/email

"new tasks [must be] created where labor has an advantage over #automation"

Problem is, WHY? Why would rational human beings want that, instead of what Dante Alighieri explained seven centuries ago?

America: I feel I'm boldly going where no country has gone before

Italy: hold my Berlusconization

Not the SAME situation or worldwide impact, of course. But sorry, couldn't resist

If you DO check their URLs, the articles in this part of CNN's home page are listed newest to oldest, which is OK.

But just looking at the titles order, it does seem that life coaching by millionaires, or armpit hair, matter more than wars or politics

Which maybe is just what many people feel...

Dear US voter, please DO listen to @ArickWierson:

Dear Europeans (and everybody else)

pls do NOT make me use #chatgpt to find THESE 5000 words for #Europe!

Pls tell me yours, and tell everybody to do the same! (read the post to know HOW)

@rpardee I think so, but what that would have to do with the point of my post? Not sure I see any link

This is THE creepiest, most depressing thing I've seen online this month. In general, not just about #dating or #marriage

Just for the record, this thingy I just read:

“My #twitter archive is hard to turn into a static website because I used the threading and polls features extensively. So it’s just sitting in my backups”

is why years ago I wrote:

“The first and most important thing that I see missing in Twitter is an automatic way to just forbid people from posting long threads, without/before saving them also as one, darned, real HTML page with a permanent URL.”

You mad bc #OpenAI stole Johansson' voice?

Me, I am mad that Altman called #chatGPT's voice *SKY* , as in "talking to (my!) #AI is talking to God"

@MidnightRider of course it's a huge, huge task. My thesis is that the whole circus is going to pot right now anyway, at increasing speed, all by itself. So we'd take advantage of this to slide in the right solutions

@MidnightRider no doubt that greed caused huge damage, but what I propose is "good" in the sense that as things stand now, it's the least impossible way to solve certain problems. E.g. mass urbanization, which is unstoppable barring REAL catastrophes, is incompatible with the car industry of today, REGARDLESS of who makes cars, and what fuel they use.

Three characteristics of your next car:

1, very likely, it will be Chinese

2, very likely, it will be your LAST car

3, and this will be GOOD, if it happens the right way:

"No, Today's #AI isn't sentient"??? (*)

Of course it isn't but the REAL point is that even if #AI were sentient, we REALLY shouldn't give a f**k, for (at least) all these reasons:

If anybody has already written, or found, a decent explanation of what this latest crap from #facebook #meta #ai is REALLY about, can they please post it? Thanks.
