Lulu says hi.

I usually listen to podcasts on my walk but today I listened to this.

For $20, Dumb Cuneiform will turn your tweet (or tweet-length text of any kind) into a real cuneiform tablet.

You don’t need 10,000 steps a day. Recent research shows 8,000-10,000 per day is good for people under 60, and 6,000-8,000 for people over 60.

And more good advice about exercise and fitness. It’s easier than you might think.

  • It doesn’t matter a lot how fast you walk.

Well, I’d like to see ol Donny Trump wriggle his way out of THIS jam!

OpenAI Hit With First Defamation Suit Over ChatGPT Hallucination. A Georgia radio host is suing OpenAI after ChatGPT generated a fictional embezzlement suit against him.

The Apollo story is even uglier. Apparently, Reddit CEO Huffman is telling people that Apollo developer Christian Selig tried to blackmail Reddit for $10 million. Selig says that’s bullshit and he has recordings to prove it.

Enshittifying the Internet seems to be a theme this week. In addition to Reddit knifing third-party apps, Wordpress is adding generative AI capabilities to its blogging software, which will only lead to an explosion in clickbait search engine spam. It’s a naked revenue grab by Wordpress’s parent company, Automattic, at the expense of making the Internet vastly less usable for the rest of us. I thought Automattic was better than that.
