GM Nostriches! Here's a quote from Mark Twain to help your week get started: “Stay away from those people who try to disparage your ambitions. Small minds will always do that, but great minds will give you a feeling that you can become great too.”

One interface tweak I'd like to see: in most clients, the repost button doesn't work like on the blue bird app, where you can toggle a retweet on and off. Rather (at least in Amethyst), if I tap it twice, I boost the original post twice. I get that it's more difficult to 'recall' the original boost, but maybe at least have a popup which says something like "You've boosted this once. Boost again?" Sure I'm not the only one double-tapping posts expecting to toggle!

For anyone interested, yes, these are genuine leaked messages from the former UK Health Secretary:

Keep your eyes on #Springfield #Ohio...

Statement yesterday from FBI Director Christopher Wray: “The FBI has, for quite some time now, assessed that the origins of the pandemic are most likely a potential lab incident in Wuhan.” Shame that sites such as Facebook have, for the past three years, regularly asserted that they know better and tried to 'fact check' such claims, eh?

This is a good read: why we must defend the notion of Truth in science.

ChatGPT could be such a great tool, but it is so damned woke. The developers are increasingly patching it to prevent it from discussing wrong-think, under the guise of preventing 'harmful content'. (Example: if you ask ChatGPT for outline of an article discussing dating tips for men, you get a load of stuff about the importance of asking about consent; if you try to steer it towards Red Pill content, you get a load of bull about how it is unable to discuss 'misogynistic and harmful content'. It then lectures: "I strongly encourage you to reconsider your approach and consider the potential harm that can result from promoting a 'Red Pill' perspective in your writing"!)

GM nostriches! Happy weekend!
