I've been saying it for a minute, yelled at some on #mastodon. Same for #waymo, it is safer, the cars just drive better. It is not all the #AI, some of it is lidar and networks that allow the AI to see many blocks/many miles ahead.
This is the first industrial #killerapp of the #AI era, but more are coming for manufacturing jobs. And yes, if you are any kind of spreadsheet jockey like a medical coder, or a monkey developer (you convert a spec to a language) do worry!

Content warning:Discussion of filtering fetish art on Mastodon
I have to be so careful with my filter settings because there are things I don't want popping up on my home feed at random, but I don't want to exclude people casually talking about specific topics. I don't like seeing inflation art, but if I filter the word "inflation" or "inflate" then my home page can't show me a cool time lapse of a bouncy castle blowing up or something, idk
Word filters are very useful and better most of the time, but I think we should be able to do the same to specific hashtags without filtering the words within them.

Auch wenn ich gerne mehr Zeichen hätte, bevorzuge ich Mastodon + diese Instanz. Für mich ist Mastodon genau das richtige, weil z.B. das Aufblinken von Post in anderen Angboten des Fediverses nichts für meine Augen ist + ich die Einfachheit mag.
Für den 1 Menschen ist dieses + für 1 anderen jenes das richtige "Werkzeug", um im Fediverse aktiv zu sein. Gestehen wir es ihnen einfach zu, wenn uns z.B. Akzeptanz wichtig ist.
Herzlichen Glückwunsch an @ralphruthe der nun zum erlauchten Kreis der Mastodon User mit 100.000 Followern gehört.
Tomorrow are Dutch municipal elections. Quite some of the candidates for the local government are on #Mastodon.
This site lists Dutch politicians on Mastodon, the local (candidate) politicians are under the heading "gemeentelijk":

Also (local) political parties are listed.
Are there similar lists of politicians on Mastodon for your country?

#Mastodon really is one of my favorite platforms. it feels like the internet did in the late 90s/early 2000s

#tamojunto #mastodon #café #pittyco #comunidade
☕️ ✨ El primer café negro de este martes se acompaña de un silencio necesario. Antes de cualquier actividad, dedico un espacio a la memoria de la cultura pagana de Irlanda, sistemáticamente erradicada bajo la figura de San Patricio y la expansión e imposición del clero.
Que la claridad de este día nos permita distinguir entre el mito festivo y la triste realidad histórica de los pueblos perseguidos, desplazados y erradicados.
Dispuesto para la jornada con el respeto que la verdad exige este día.

Excerpt from Goose Creek Holler, coming out later this year. The only reference I've ever made to anyone being of Irish descent, you know, for St. Patrick's Day. #green #stpatrick #bookstodon #mastodon #tuesday #StPatricksDay #Irish #Opal #novels #novel #BookExcerpt #scribesAndMakers #writersCoffeeClub #writers #writersOfMastodon #writer

My first post should be something profound or witty but here we are. #mastodon #helloworld
