Mastodon FeedMastodon FeedDo you remember when Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) were treated like a serious financial instrument by VCs? Until SEC asked "whatcha got there?" and they were "haha, nothing", and the whole thing disappeared. Good times.

The #JingleJam has been a December tradition for me for over a decade. It's a lot of fun, and the @yogscast raised millions of dollars for charity over the years. And of course you get a bundle of games if you donate.

I've been trying to get the @yogscast on Mastodon in time for this year's #JingleJam. If they start posting, I've succeeded. Jingle Jam is a charity fundraising livestream that begins on December 1.

Sports Illustrated has been making up fake AI authors, claiming they are real, then deleting them when asked and offering no formal comment, editorial note, or other response.
They’ve also been publishing AI generated content by people who don’t exist with zero disclosure https://futurism.com/sports-illustrated-ai-generated-writers

This whole conference debacle is so disappointing. Speakers, when invited to a conf will say “who alls gonna be there?” I’ve my rules for participation posted on my site - including an inclusive lineup - for years. I was duped by the fake speakers also.
I remind all conf organizers that there are THOUSANDS of speakers of all walks of life, genders, ages, backgrounds. I offer 920 for you to invite to your confs http://hanselminutes.com/episodes inclusion means doing the work. So, do the work, friends.

@bcantrill Strongly agree. I'm firmly against attempts to slow down or stop the advancement of AI, however we define it, because it has so many good uses. In the Oxide and Friends episode on accessibility, we briefly touched on how machine learning can help in that area, as with iOS VoiceOver's Screen Recognition feature. But we do need to guard against abuses of any technology.
