Due to my love of gadgets and my love of the calming simplicity of the process making tea this fills me with deeply conflicting emotions that I wanted to share.

It's so wrong and so intriguing.

(It's probably good for people who run a cafe I guess.)

@HG

But none of them have done stories like that exactly the way that you would and that's why you should write it.

@MostlyTato

They are going to say terrible things about you on their tiny ant podcasts but what can you do?

@MostlyTato

Yes, if you remove the sheet they will move. They will be annoyed, but they can make a new nest or go deeper.

"Affogato tells me that she has a packed schedule"

Yeah.

Pica often says she has a "packed schedule" too when I ask her to do things.

... but right now she's watching a spot on the wall and that's been going on for about 15 min. But. I'm certain I'm just not sophisticated enough to understand her creative process. Or... something.

@mattmcirvin @funkula @uncoolmouse @sidd_harth0_5h4h

Indepencat media is becoming more and more popular.

@funkula @uncoolmouse @sidd_harth0_5h4h

Pica would like to interview both of you on her podcat "Human Crime"

you up for it?

@uncoolmouse @sidd_harth0_5h4h

It is so hard to find an expert with both of those skills. I hope you are compensating her well as there are many seeking such assistance.

@ClimateJenny

What state? There are a lot of ecologies in that region and I haven't seen a book that looks as a whole.

@14_14

"Human Intelligence" is what LLMs "AI" are trying to simulate and replace. Because people have a need for it.

Reddit, Twitter, and long ago the usenet could do this kind of thing.

But, I would never trust an LLM with a question like this one. I'm concerned that since corporate social media is broken many people are turning to LLMs.

It would be very easy to push propaganda and steer public opinion through an LLM, and that is what people like Musk say they want to do.

@ClimateJenny

Do you mean like ... Ants in Barbados and Iceland??

@14_14

This is a good sign really, the fedi has slowly begun to have some of the good functions that twitter used to have. It's growing to be a place of human intelligence where you can ask questions and have discussions with a wide range of people who really know their subject.

Twitter used to be like that... but also a cesspit. Now we have some of that back, but the conversations are better even if the breadth of topics isn't there yet.

I hope we can keep growing in this way.

@14_14

I wanted to hear from people who have some contact with the production of this kind of media and we have people like @mattsheffield on here who know about this kind of thing.

@mattsheffield

Well they are expanding their audience into the left and liberals and people get attached to personalities... then all of a sudden those personalities can turn around and push some real nonsense.

I am suspicious that this is what could happen with "Breaking Points" although my evidence of this is very subjective right now.

@pauliehedron

Saagar is trying hard to seem progressive but little things he says give him away.

Kyle Kulinski has always seemed like a perfectly good person to me however.

I don't know if putting a leftist who can be taken by conspiracies with a "former conservative" to do a show is a good idea.

Who is going to be the anchor to reality in that situation?

@mfennvt

Ah! That's where I heard her name before. I could just be paranoid.

@MedeaVanamode

Did I answer this question? I was a little uncertain of what you were asking.

@MedeaVanamode

The podcast the thread is about "Breaking Points" what is it? Who supports it? What is it doing?

It's a growing left leaning news podcast on youTube ?

@Tengu

Yeah. They could be trying to reach out to a more right leaning audience which could be fine. But I don't really know what they are about.

I guess I'm wondering if anyone has been following them since before they blew up (and they are blowing up, coming up in every search)... I'm not saying they are good or bad, I just don't know what their perspective is, and what audience or funding is supporting that perspective.

I like to know that with anything that I listen to.
