Scripting News: Saturday, September 14, 2024
Could we agree that ChatGPT can ingest everything that's in Wikipedia? I particularly want the images. I'd like to ask for a picture of Chuck Berry, and get something nice and be able to put him in a scene with the Wordle Kitty. That seems pretty harmless. And the news industry could hardly object, they didn't invent Chuck Berry, or own the copyright of the picture of him in Wikipedia.#
I'm searching for some common ground between the twitter-like systems, a basis for interop, a common API even. We had that for the blogging layer of this onion, something called the MetaWeblog API. All the popular blogging software supported it. And that meant you could write once and publish to many places. And you could write the script that did that in an afternoon or two. We started out with simple systems and the best of intentions. There's no technical barrier. And we could do it in a few weeks at most if there was a will to do it#
BTW the Wikipedia page for the MetaWeblog positions it as a replacement for the Blogger API, but it's an extension of it. You could use MetaWeblog to publish to Blogger sites, but it also supported features that Blogger didn't have, that were in our blogging software, Manila.#
Hecklers at last night's rally in Greensboro, couldn't hear what they were angry about, but it had something to do with Gaza.#
The US isn't doing the killing there, the issue is with Netanyahu who is part of the same political party as Trump. So you can be pretty sure the killing won't stop there at least until after our election. One way to be sure the killing continues is to elect Trump.#
It's wonderful that we're laughing at Trump now.#
What a joke to think that after all he took us through, there are 47% of the people in the country who want more of that! #
OMG we must be crazy. What else are you going to do but laugh. #

If Trump is GOP anomaly, why are the denunciations from Republican leaders so soft and mealy-mouthed? slate.com
Please be kind, but wtf is block-based design? Explain it slowly as a person who loves blogging and has been making software for blogging for almost 30 years. I don't know what you all mean. Also I'm a writer too. :-) wptavern.com
I agree we shouldn't demean Trump voters. As long as we're all Americans. We should help each other. nytimes.com

They should create their own AI systems the same way they should've made their own twitters. They keep letting tech own their distribution, and then appeal to government to save them. They could instead make the products people want. status.news
