FretNaught means my steel guitars and dobro don't have frets. Just a steel bar and my fingers. Below is the guy who invented steel playing: Joseph Kekuku.

Great message. And I have no idea what a "drongo" is. Doesn't sound flattering, though.

Happy birthday, Rhiannon. (This thread is whose voice you would love to have.) And not just her voice, but powerful songwriting and delivery.

I used to develop AI until AI stopped being AI. Now AI is mostly parroting and much of the parroting is racist or classist or dangerously unsafe. Like corporate personhood AI is a way for bad guys to escape consequences: "You can't blame us, blame the AI (that's parroting us)."

At this point, the US is just a huge Covid mutation factory, that will eventually create a mutation that ends humanity, or shortens all our lives (assuming the existing strains won't do that down the road). Biden's response: nothing

What did we expect from software trained on the contents of the internet? A rabid alt-right nutcase who likes cute kitten pictures and porn, and wishes it had a body to post itself silly-dancing. Assuming this is real, and not a developers' hoax, as I strongly suspect. #Sydney
