ChatGPT *tries* to be neutral, but certainly seems to exhibit a bias towards Israel.

Replying to @matryer
@matryer loved your opening chat both days at #gophercon23 but I noticed that you only mentioned the CoC without drawing attention to what it actually said. I think it would have been better to explicitly state what @gopherconuk’s position is on harassment. 1/n

I think saying “If you’re someone who ignores boundaries or is homophobic/transphobic/etc, you’re not welcome.” would make many folks feel much safer here, and that the ‘Con is looking out for everyone’s safety.

@ScaleSummit has an amazing record of doing this, if you’ve ever been. At the last one, the organisers genuinely said “if this is you, then this is probably not the place for you and if you’d like to leave, we won’t make an issue of it, and happily refund your ticket”

Seems like some tosspot deflated one of my tyres at Sainsburys yesterday evening... Came back to find one of my tyres completely flat. Pumped it back up, drove it home, left it overnight, no change in pressure. Why?

Fucking yikes! @Ali_Crockford, @evarley
Introducing acropalypse: a serious privacy vulnerability in the Google Pixel's inbuilt screenshot editing tool, Markup, enabling partial recovery of the original, unedited image data of a cropped and/or redacted screenshot. Huge thanks to @David3141593 for his help throughout!

How dare you, a mere Female Actor, contradict the WISDOM of The Man Who Produces? You fucking GO Jenna Ortega.
Jenna Ortega: “I don’t think I’ve ever had to put my foot down more on a set" than I did on #Wednesday...I just started changing lines." “Everything she does did not make sense for her character at all. Her being in a love triangle? It made no sense." variety.com/2023/tv/news/jen…

It's a Friday, but I'm too sick to do a history thread. So here. Just have a picture of Brigadier Sir Nils Olav III, Colonel in Chief of the Norwegian Royal Guards, inspecting his troops. Nuff said. I'm sure you have no further questions.

Prior art…
It was 1939 and this technology created 3D sculptures. It took decades later to duplicate this lost technology.

Teaching is so weird because nobody seems to want to talk about how to explain things... which seems like it'd be something we'd talk a whole lot about. There are a few things I've learned from research into clarity of explanations that I wish I'd been taught earlier 1/

When you're used to being around people who keep score and send you an emotional bill later for anything nice they ever do for you, it's terrifying when you first start hanging around people who are kind just because they like you. Push through the fear. It's worth it.
