A quotation from Emerson

Every man is a consumer, and ought to be a producer. He fails to make his place good in the world, unless he not only pays his debt, but also adds something to the common wealth.

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) American essayist, lecturer, poet
Essay (1860), “Wealth,” The Conduct of Life, ch. 3

yoo #mastodon #community we rolled back to the #pixtral #vision #AI #model over #microsoft #phi4

we know #startrek @startrek, and #music @music are areas needing immediate improvement so we are trying to conjure up a "community notes" style approach to what the community thinks is bad #alttext

this will be done through responding publicly and direct messaging

This is still a work in progress so we shall see how it goes as we test

This way we'll have a mechanism for potentially useful #contribution to the AI #dataset rather than mindless bitching about how bad and evil AI is.
