I nearly gave my credit card to a legit-looking Maine business, until I noticed their “privacy policy” linked to Wikipedia. That’s not laziness but AI-generated HTML vibecoded into place without review. And a lot more can go wrong than a missing legal page.

Yes, yes, yes, yes, @…! 👏
“For now, I’m planning on continuing to roll up my sleeves. I want to make things because I’m human and alive. I want to go on journeys and grow. I’m not always looking for an easy path, I want the friction. Because if I give up the journey, what am I really making? What do I actually learn?”

“Humans generally want to feel chosen and special, and some individuals will believe they are to an extraordinary degree.” —YDS Prof Yii-Jan Lin as quoted in Rolling Stone on A.I. and religious fervor. https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/cultu

People Are Finding Spiritual Fulfillment in AI. Religious Scholars Have Thoughts
People keep falling down rabbit holes of prophecy and spiritualism thanks to conversations with AI chatbots. Here's what religious scholars are saying.

Watching films and reading books I find myself at odds with myself. I don't want writers to try to placate me but on the other hand the two of them love each other and should end up together.

“What we ultimately want, and what we believe we need, is a commons that is strong, resilient, growing, useful (to machines and to humans)—all the good things, frankly. But as our open infrastructures mature they become increasingly taken for granted, and the feeling that “this is for all of us” is replaced with “everyone is entitled to this”. While this sounds the same, it really isn’t. Because with entitlement comes misuse, the social contract breaks, reciprocation evaporates, and ultimately the magic weakens.”
Very glad to see that @… is working to address the deep challenges that have arisen at the intersection of the open movement and corporate AI.

Calamus 14 Not heat flames up and consumes
A declaration of love, eroticism mixed with nature imagery. Something of a theme in Calamus! It didn't really grab me though, I think because so many of the lines start with negations and it distances me from the meaning.
The sexy line here:
the flames of me, consuming, burning for his love whom I love!
I also like the imagery of seeds wafted in the wind, then heading to "my Soul is borne through the open air".
This musical performance by the Erato Ensemble is a nice interpretation.

I think I want to give up on this boat illustration I started last year… just not feeling like it’s bringing me any joy.

#ZenBrowser is considering to change the behaviour of windows in the following way:
- Two windows of the same workspace show the exact same tabs.
- Tabs are not lost when closing a window.
- In order to create a new, empty window, you first need to create a new workspace.
Any opinions? I find that quite weird and don't understand the purpose. 🤔

I've just cleared out a bunch of hashtags I was following. I feel like they filled my timeline but didn't encourage me to reach out in friendship. And often the hashtag was the thing I scrolled past fast, thinking it was a bit ick.
(The hashtags you follow are in profile, then click on the 3 dots).
Let's see how a quieter Mastodon feels, and which hashtags I want to re-introduce...
