Hey everyone I’m not deleting Twitter, but I made an account on @cohost_org and it’s cool
cohost.org/musicalcomet
Anyone else on it who I can follow?
#TweetDeck being hastily shoved behind the paywall is kinda the last straw. That's the only way I kept up with anything I cared about.
Bye Twitter! Thanks for all the fish.

Yes, I could just keep up via directly bookmarking lists and searches. Which makes it even more bizarre. It’s one of many desperate attempts to pay the bills.
Quitting Twitter is more about the pattern and, frankly, the product’s hostility.

Well, I didn’t realize that Twitter was possibly DDOS’ing itself, which is frankly a rookie mistake, or a “CEO underestimated system complexity and gave rushed directives” mistake…
If that’s true, then my analysis may be wrong. But my evaluation is the same (“LOL”).
Congrats everyone. Your tweet archive is gonna be the food source for the next generation of AI models.

I pity Twitter during this period. It’s a little amusing, but mostly I don’t care, because the internet (and real life) is SO MUCH BIGGER than Twitter. Valuable info & connections can be found elsewhere.

hi everyone!
we're experiencing server issues due to an unprecedented number of signups and the site will be back up soon. thank you for your patience as we work on a fix.
Sundays are the days I’m most motivated to tweet. But what should I tweet?
- A snarky programming opinion?
- How a GPT3 hallucination wasted an hour of my time?
- How much I enjoy Beethoven’s orchestration?
- The terrible racist thing I witnessed in Walgreens?
- A cat gif??!

Can someone at @openai please do this experiment 10,000 times, measure the compressed/decompressed diff, and publish the results? It’s muddying the discourse.
(By 10,000, I mean: enough times to be statistically significant, with widely varying types of text samples)

ALTERNATIVELY, if @OpenAI or someone else could please at least propose a viable theory of how GPT4’s abilities arise, beyond “we threw an unprecedented scale of compute and data at it, LOL”, I think that would suffice
