@prologic@twtxt.net You can read more about the “cryptic” live coding language Punctual in my newsletter

@sorenpeter@darch.dk Also not very readable. Quite cryptic really 😅 I have no idea how this works 🤦‍♂️

My vision with this newsletter is to have a slower medium for communicating about my art as well as ideas and projects I’m working on regarding how we can use digital technology to our own benefits instead of being exploited by big tech.

Twtxt not sloe enough for you? 🤣

@thecanine@twtxt.net I think I know what you mean now.

@prologic@twtxt.net it says in the linked page;)

@sorenpeter@darch.dk What will you be writing about? What’s your target audience? 🤔

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz i have a terrible headache rn tho so debugging and log checking will have to wait

@prologic@twtxt.net best of luck, no pressure!

@bender@twtxt.net Appreicate it 🙏

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Oh, yeah, nothing beats modern DVCSs. I just hope that having CVS is better than nothing. We’ll see. 😂

@thecanine@twtxt.net I admit I’m a little unclear of your position. What do you mean by “not the right approach”? What’s your position here? 🤔 – I have a funny feeling we actually algin, just getting our wires all mixed up in communicating it 🤣

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Okay, jetzt hör’ ich’s. :DD

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Kenne ich gar nicht und noch sehe ich die Ähnlichkeit nicht, aber kann ja noch kommen. 😅

@bender@twtxt.net With these paper thin walls, it might just work. 🤣

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org an “informal” one. @movq@www.uninformativ.de doesn’t even need to reach out. Simply wait until they start playing, measure the tempo, and start bassing on queue! Oh man, I can already imagine it! Dreamy! :-)

@thecanine@twtxt.net right. Spell checkers are not AI. Full grammar checking, and correction? That one I have not seeing, but on AI. So, what I meant was, let the grammar gaffes show; we type as we speak (most of the time). About spelling mistakes, well, let them be corrected as we have done since 1971(?).

@bender@twtxt.net Haha well said 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net to err is human, to forgive is divine, right? I say let us err, and forgive. My grammatical errors make me me. Misspellings? Well, we need no stinky AI for that!

@bender@twtxt.net Bahaha 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net Dustin’s last sentence on that post:

“This post was written entirely by a human, with no assistance from AI. (Other than spell- and grammar-checking.)”

Is it true that it was written “entirely by a human” then? Pfff.

@thecanine@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de So I actually agree with you! I think Dustin is taking a bit of a “deep and dark” path here (depression), and there are many parallels to other types of activities that we can all talk to. “AI” or “LLM”(s) here should be no different. Use them, Don’t use them. I don’t really see how it takes away our creativity or critical thinking.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de hahahah so real right?

@bender@twtxt.net LMAOOOO

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org sooo pretty! sucks about the dead end tho

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org that’s alright haha! i don’t expect anyone to listen/watch in full or with full attention bc it’s so long lmao

the thing with PHP for me is that i… feel like it hits a kind of simplicity that i can understand? it’s so plain but can be very powerful. i quite like that. as much as i can learn something infinitely more powerful, PHP hits a comfortable thing where i can handle things like backend sqlite DBs AND how a page is rendered, without requiring a complex frontend with its own quirks (like ruby on rails, which as much as i know and love it, can be heavy).

but i totally get you! PHP security is very scary. i’m always worried that i’m messing something up. it’s why the PHP application i’m working on i have dockerized by default for a small but extra layer of protection

i’ll try to not get discouraged tysm for your advice

@prologic@twtxt.net i will try my best if it happens again! it seems it goes in and out and things eventually come back - i just logged on this morning and i do see new twts but not past ones. so when it happens again and i notice i’ll try to trace logs

@prologic@twtxt.net That’s an interesting premise in that article:

The fun has been sucked out of the process of creation because nothing I make organically can compete with what AI already produces—or soon will.

This is like saying it’s pointless to make music yourself because some professional player/audio engineer does a better job. Really, there’s always someone or something that’s better than you at a particular job.

If we focus too much on “competition”, then yes, you can just stop doing anything. I don’t know how common this mindset is, especially among artists or creative people. 🤔 I would have assumed that many writers, for example, simply enjoy the process of writing. Am I being too naive once more? 🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I’m more worried about Dustin Curtis’s take on Thoughts on Thinking piece 🤔 It’s a worrying time we’re facing, where all human creativity, critical thinking and having to “think” at all just goes out the window 🪟 wow 🤯

@prologic@twtxt.net I hadn’t considered this particular scenario, no.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz I kind of need some more details if you can. Logs, observations anything! Please 🙏

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I mean are you surprised? 😮

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz this is the way. Tell your pod I am very proud of them! 😂

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz This is way too long for me to watch in its entirety, but: “Ugh, talking is weird” – I feel that, very much. 😅

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org That bird pic goes right in the wallpaper collection. 😍

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org He was a gift. 💚 Hatched in 2007. 🐣 Will be allowed to drive this year.

@prologic@twtxt.net yayyyy :D

@prologic@twtxt.net my pod does whatever it wants at this point

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Watching your vlog right now 😅

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Hmmmm? 🤔

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz I just got a bit bored 🥱

@prologic@twtxt.net a couple of days?!?! and to learn that omg are you studying for a phd at nasa

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Haha I did that for a couple of days last week 🤣 What was I doing you ask?! 😅 Studying and learning how Artificial Neural Networks with Evolutionary Adaptation work 🤣

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org BIG tux!!!!!!!!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I AM GOING TO CRY THEY’RE SO CUTE T___T THE SILLIES….. i’m so jealous i want my own little tux family!!!!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org @kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Actual family photo:

I have another one on my keychain and a small one in the car. And this little guy is probably hard to spot in the photo, because he’s just 1cm tall:

@bender@twtxt.net LMAO

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Cool! 😎 Mind joining the same IRC space? 🙏

@prologic@twtxt.net I can give it a try, might learn a thing or two (or a 100) along the way. 😁

@prologic@twtxt.net Sweeeet! thank you for verifying.
