If even nurses can be made gig workers, who else will be in their crosshairs?
I spoke with Katie J. Wells about how technology doesn’t have to be used against workers, but that’s precisely how it’s being implemented.

The judge wasn’t amused.
#Musk’s outsize reputation, provocative remarks & his friction with a federal #judge have dominated the trial in his case against #ChatGPT-maker #OpenAI.

I'm curious. If I write a post that's longer than the maximum length permitted on another server, what does a person on that server see?
Is the post truncated? Is there a link to see more? Do they not see the post at all?

I want to give a huge THANK YOU to @marci @mike and @emilynguyen of the @Flipboard and @surf teams for meeting with myself and @beardedtechguy last night.
The conversation was absolutely amazing, filled with laughs and good information talked about with regards to Surf itself.
I'm so honored to be able to participate in the early beta of Surf and to provide feedback to Marci, Mike and Emily that will hopefully help make Surf bigger and better than it already is.
It's so great knowing that when you do give feedback, that feedback is being listened to and often acted upon in the coming days/weeks/months. This is what makes good apps become great apps and I firmly believe that Surf is well on the way to having a very bright and popular future!
THANK YOU again for such a great and wonderful meeting last night!

Did anyone else try out the Apple Voice Technology offered for free by Draft2Digital to produce audiobooks? I was amazed at how terrible and primitive the Apple Voice Technology actually is, considering what Apple is. Here's one clue about how terrible the technology is: I wrote a book in 2023 under the pen name N.J. Edwards. The computer-generated male voice introduced the audiobook this way: "This is an audiobook by author New Jersey Edwards. Granted, New Jersey Edwards is a fantastic pen name. I wish I'd thought of it. But that is not the author's name on the front of my book. The audiobook of my novel BEER POUR is so atrocious that there's actual computer code jibberish spoken in the middle of a dialogue scene. I could go on and on about all the flaws, but there's not enough room here. Go back to the drawing board, Apple. #Apple #audiobook #books #bookstodon #mastodon #book #novel #novel #voice #tech #technology #author #NewJersey #draft2digital #D2D #computergenerated #computer #introduction #intro #introductions #scribesAndMakers #writing #writersCoffeeClub #writer #publishing #MyWork #writersOfMastodon #writers #writersLife #indieAuthor #author #authors #audio #audiofiction #startup

You Don't Need a Tech Stack. You Just Need a Text Editor.
Plain text files built the internet before technology stacks were a thing. Honestly, there is no reason why your web presence cannot just be a simple TXT file.

I found the "quick boost" setting in Mastodon's preferences, and like it much better with this turned on. #Mastodon #JoinMastodon #SocialMedia #tech
[edit: apparently this setting came in with Mastodon 4.5.0 in November. Seeing how quickly people have boosted this, a lot of us didn't notice but wanted it.]

🖥️ **Why the Computer Scientist Behind the World’s First Chatbot Dedicated His Life to Publicizing the Threat Posed by A.I.**
_Joseph Weizenbaum realized that programs like his Eliza chatbot could “induce powerful delusional thinking in quite normal people”_

Question for my fellow #Fediverse #Tech enthusiasts:
Imagine your friend is on the fence about joining #Mastodon, and they ask:
"What is an instance, anyways?"
What is your go-to answer?
The email provider comparison is common, but maybe over-used, or too technical?
What other metaphors/explanations do you have up your sleeves?
