My friends, I would like shine some light in the corners today.

I am asking for your favourite Ultra-Niche Rant Threads, those protracted, passionate arguments about topics you had no way to know existed five minutes prior. Best Of The Fedi, what have you got?

저도 문외한이지만, 이건 좀 케케묵은 논쟁입니다. 최근엔 이런 글을 읽은 적이 있습니다. firstmonday.org/ojs/index.ph... 전체 글을 다 읽으실 필요는 없고 4-5챕터를 보시면 왜 말씀하시는 내용 (LLM/Gen AI/Chatbot과 사람을 같은 선에 놓고 생각하는 것)이 틀렸는지 알 수 있을 겁니다.

I thought news articles where they embed a bunch of tweets were the lowest form of journalism. Now there's a news genre where they ask ChatGPT a question and report the results. Achievement unlocked, I guess.

Getting a little too much pleasure from beating my eldest at connect 4, a.k.a. 4 in a row (the one with the counters and the vertical screen thing with holes on both sides).

They're learning not to be a sore loser, and is OK with me playing to win. Diagonals are the way.

Youngest isn't that far along yet, so we have to adapt game rules so that people don't have overlong winning streaks, and really doesn't cope well with losing. +4 cards in Uno-like games are no-go, instant misery.

While on one level this story of a AI-generated picture of a bridge collapse (after the earthquake centred near Morecambe Bay on Wednesday night) leading to train cancelations seems relatively minor, its an example of the sort of disruption that the use of AI is already generating.... we may soon find that having no real trust in any images will cause all sorts of social problems (which is not to say that disruption is not already evident).
