All I'm saying is that @OpenAI's Dall-E 2 might need some more work.

Twitter was a shithole before Elon Musk. Twitter is a shithole during Elon Musk. And Twitter will be shithole after Elon Musk.

The goal of the fediverse has not been (nor should it be) to recreate some version or other of a shithole.

OTD 14 years ago I arrived in Zakopane for Xmas, lots of snow and not too cold. It was my first introduction to snow tires which I have had to use since coming here.

Currently -16C poor doggy can't gt his walk in. Will try later.

Harris mentions this epiphany, when he realised he'd blocked 50k people, and wondered what had happened to him that he had become someone that blocked 50k people. He's not alone in this, but most people never take the step into self-awareness.

Re. Elon's behaviour. There;'s definitely something odd about how Twitter affects certain people. I've seen friends be driven mad by it, as in become different people. Sam Harris for his failings saw it happening to himself and bailed. It's very strange.
