It’s darkly hilarious that the cutting edge of productized LLMs consists of “counting the number of letters in a word by simulating all recorded human communication and recursively search for discussions about countingā€

Federated content publishing in WordPress

Reblog via mike

Publishing a first attempt at a federated post from @herebox.org@herebox.org to facilitate FediForum session titled “WordPress as Content Authoring Tool for Fediverse” FediForum conference running on open space technology .

This session is intended to support additional discussion specific to adding social location data into Fediverse content, with potential to use WordPress as an example authoring tool.

Federation of this post made possible by WordPress activitypub plugin authored by @pfefferle@mastodon.social . I hope to be working on extending these tools at WordCamp USA contributor day next Tuesday in Portland, Oregon.

Connecting your WordPress site to the fediverse:

Great conversation between @docpop and pfefferle@mastodon.social about the ActivityPub protocol and connecting your WordPress site to the fediverse. It really is simple to do (unless your WP site is hosted on Siteground) and opens up huge possibilities for others to discover your content. I heard the best simple definition of the fediverse: "The social media version of email". Think about it! WordPress

I donā€™t think ā€œpassing the Turning Testā€ is the goal for AI anymore.

It was for decades. But now that itā€™s nearby, I think we demand that it not be like a human, but 100x better than a human.

Knows every subject, and is unbiased. Creative but only when appropriate.
