Is anyone else blown away by the quality and potential impact of the #AiWriter #AI #Writing work products from tools like Jasper, ChatGPT, or wherever? I routinely write, edit, buy writing, and buy editing, and this seems like it's going to be hugely disruptive at least in the "middle" writing world that I mostly inhabit ... blogs, brochures, marketing copy, etc. Most of the few random first-draft tests I've done are at least as good as the product from experienced human writers in these areas.

"Jupyter Notebook" is a term I that I want to learn about because 1) it's new to me, and 2) I have heard/read it twice today.

A new (to me) idea is to keep using #wordpress as the #cms but then have #Hugo render the site with the content in Wordpress. Might need a new plugin for this. This would allow editing remotely (and on the phone). Just need to find a way to get Hugo to notice new content, build, then upload the site. Maybe #netlify or #cloudflare could do this.

Interesting and disappointing to find out that one of the mesh #wifi systems I was looking at doesn't have ethernet backhaul. I would have thought that was standard these days.

Still working on converting my #wordpress #blog to #hugo or #jekyll . One thing I can’t figure out is “remote” (non-desktop) publishing. Something I like about Wordpress is that I can write a post on my phone or my iPad. Don’t see any easy way to do that with a static site. Still working!

It seems like #Twitter pro-democracy users are not just fleeing but being driven away, in order to de-platform and fragment this group. Is there a way #mastodon could ever become the same sort of “central” meeting/finding/discussing place?
On the surface, this seems difficult because of certain Mastodon design/features, most important the lack of algorithmic discovery.
Would it be possible to “train” new users to use hashtags and hashtag-based search until their follow-bases were established?

Twitter is a central meeting place. Recent changes seem to be aimed at denying a platform/place to pro-democracy thinkers, through bans, harassment, or disgust. What else is there to connect? #Mastodon? Older techs? #Blogs? #RSS? Email #listserv???
