Every time I give some "N ways ChatGPT has improved my life" type articles I always regret it. But I keep poking the sore tooth anyway.

Today was all about how to use ChatGPT Scheduled Tasks.

Literally for reminders.

YOUR PHONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO DO THAT SHIT FOR OVER A DECADE

These are definitely all of a specific era... Dunno what that says about me

Finding out that a hotel I'm intending to stay at is next door to a restaurant from a favorite celebrity chef 🥳🥳🥳🥳

Finding out this celebrity chef has literally no options or accomodations for gluten free 😭😭😭😭

Just saw a local reddit post asking about driving time for a long drive. The person had asked ChatGPT and Gemini and gotten wildly different answers and were confused as a result.

GOOGLE MAPS IS RIGHT THERE ARE YOU FUCKING HIGH?????

Our entire species is deservedly cooked.

Sometimes the internet is good actually!

Went from a reddit post where someone was asking about local D&D, to there being a little discord for a few of us, to having a plan for me to DM an inperson one shot to see how we vibe in ~48hrs!

I have been doing entirely too much earnest posting about deep things recently, I need to do a proper thread about hippo testicles or something just to keep myself sane.

Oh by the way hippos have migratory testicles.

Little morning gardening to get the day going. The habanero plant continues to think it ought to be a tree. So many unripened ones still to come - I hope they can finish up before the frost sets in

It must have been around 1997. I vaguely remember picking up Portal, a 5th edition set and the PC game around the same time (all released '97). That was my hyperfixation for the next few years all set 😁

Never would have guessed I'd be back thinking about it nearly 30yrs later!
What's the lore behind you getting into @magic.wizards.com?

#AIIDE25 wrapped! Thanks to everyone who made this year’s @aiide.bsky.social such a success. We’ll be back soon with announcements for ’26’s location and call, plus the ‘25 recordings. But for now I’m going to turn off my brain for 48 hours.

What if we shoved a hand up every corpse's arse so we could make them into our ventriloquist puppets

You fucking ghouls

You truly incomprehensibly evil sociopaths

There isn't a level of hell bad enough for these people to rot in forever

If you're going to show up at an academic conference espousing techbro nonsense confrontationally and being disrespectful...

Don't?

Cos I can find your CEO and your investors and make damned sure they know how disappointed I was at how their company's reps were conducting themselves

It was a genuine honor to sit and listen to this
I was so so happy to give an invited talk today at EXAG, a workshop I co-founded over ten years ago! It was quite a personal talk about how research communities grow and change (and die sometimes), what generative AI means for our community today, and the value of weird, pointless research.
Starting off Day 2 of EXAG with Mike Cook's @mtrc.bsky.social amazingly titled keynote 'Being Weird at the End of the World'. Really looking forward to this talk!

If they just roll over what the fuck was the point of any of this? You could have rolled over forty fucking days ago and achieved exactly the same thing without the chaos.

These goddamned centrists and their insistence on snatching defeat from the jaws of victory

It's going to be great to see folks at AIIDE this week but Jesus fuck week 4 off this trip and I kinda just want to go straight home if I'm honest

4 week work trip is too long

V for Vendetta getting a theatre rerelease for it's 20th anniversary feels like a bold choice in the current climate. Good. But bold.
