@buffyleigh @radiofreefedi @kissane @1001otheralbums.com@1001otheralbums.com Is "John Mastodon" a fictional character who is the embodiment of Mastodon?

@radiofreefedi @kissane Search is so bad on Mastodon that it is hard to know. What are some good music-related accounts to follow?

@carrideen or anyone: Has anyone noticed glitches with posts being detached from their threads? So, on my own instance I can only see this as a detached post, but (even though it is my post on my own instance) I can see the same post with responses on another instance if I go to a reply & then click on the original post as it appears on that instance. I have seen this with other threads on other instances.

Hey @wmbr , what happened?

Good news for folks who enjoy AI embarrassing itself with nonsensical answers!

"Well, according to an interview at The Verge with Google CEO Sundar Pichai published earlier this week, just before criticism of the outputs really took off, these "hallucinations" are an "inherent feature" of AI large language models (LLM), which is what drives AI Overviews, and this feature "is still an unsolved problem.""

@stefan It is annoying that they keep calling it "hallucination".

I got the Shingrix shingles vaccine on Thursday, and I definitely felt some side effects yesterday (fatigue, chills) but I’m pretty confident it’s way better than actually getting shingles.

@jsadow@c18.masto.host avatar

@overholt @LillyHerself it is the second shot that is a killer for side effects (intense joint pain in my case) but everyone says actual shingles is the worst pain they've ever had so definitely better etc.

Are Mastodon users really happy with thread behavior? So, for example, this post had a lot of replies, but even if you look at it on the original instance you can't see any of them. You can see my reply to the post on my server, but it is no longer connected to the original post. So it is often impossible to read old threads (& of course even to see all replies on a current one).

Oh, before @ASECS vanishes in the next few days: If anyone cares, you can find archived posts at this archive.org link. I don't think @asecs will produce a web archive, which is kind of too bad. That is assuming there are enough ASECS people still on Mastodon for people to post about it...are there? There are 76 followers of the current ASECS group, but I don't know how many actually log in to Mastodon,

18c bullshit, courtesy of Google’s Gemini AI chatbot: “Richardson, though never directly mentioning Fielding, likely had him in mind when creating the villainous Lovelace in Clarissa (1747).”
