About a year ago we setup our own Mastodon instance

Our team is not highly technical, but with Masto.host we were able to do it fairly easy – we may even self host eventually (TBD on that)

We have not regretted the decision, because even though Big Tech's social media apps & platforms can be hard to leave, they have only gotten worse in the last 12 months

Meta/FB/Instagram are over run with fake profiles, bots and #AISlop, TikTok is now suppressing our content, etc.

How to Play Accordion: Beginner Step-by-Step Guide:

Someone posted a link to an introduction to playing the accordion on mastodon last night

The article seems to be either really poorly translated, or very badly mangled and unfiltered AI slop

Or probably both: a bad translation run through AI?

Or AI fed on bad translations?

Anyways. The internet will soon be entirely useless. This is all we’ll see:

@cmccullough The stock market tends to disagree with them. The market is very upset with AI slop and empty revenue promises.

@cstross

Inspired by the last thread and @tautology , I actually went and asked #Bing how to wire #Yorkshire plugs, combining both ideas.

#MicrosoftCoPilot first suggested that I ask it about the differences between Yorkshire and U.K. plugs. So I did that. MS CoPilot in response confidently and authoritatively bullshitted me that 'Yorkshire plugs' are a name for older #BS546 electrical plugs.

Champion! (-:

Joking aside: It's the medical doctors who trust this stuff, which I've actually seen happen, that are scarier.

How many #chatgpt users does it take to change a bulb?

Two.

One for writing a prompt and a second for looking at the right answer on #Reddit.

"These #chatbots will provide context-sensitive, public-facing guidance tailored to a wide range of stakeholders, helping users navigate legal obligations, definitions, and procedures under the respective regulations."

I mean sure, but will the output be legally binding? And if not: won't it be a lot safer for stakeholders to check the EC's FAQ or simply the law itself?

I'm truly intrigued.
