Good Lord, how depressing is that Google Gemini ad about getting the AI to write your kid’s fan letter to her hero athlete? Why not get Midjourney to make a picture to enclose as well? What do they think it means for a child to write a fan latter, or for a recipient to read one?

@kjhealy as someone who saw first hand the carnage left by lambda (my wife went there before they rebranded), I can say with 100% certainty that I don’t want to see them fail because I’m jealous. I want to see them fail because their whole business model is built on lies.

@kjhealy Probably to increase their stock price similar to some years ago when adding blockchain to everything had the same effect. It won't last.

I feel like it's time for a more widespread revival of the 1970s design aesthetic for computer terminals, input faceplates, and keyboards.

@kjhealy a well chosen looping GIF or video can be such a delightful thing to include in a presentation. This is such a treat!

@kjhealy

Dr Healy:
do you hae any personal knowledge, any at all, about how much scraping is occurring, and if this is or isn't something that twitter's infrastructure might be expected to handle ?
