- Comment on ChatGPT could prioritize sponsored content as part of ad strategy — sponsored content could allegedly be given preferential treatment in LLM’s responses, OpenAI to use chat data to deliver highly personalized results 1 week ago:
So … now we have plausible gibberish … also known as Autocorrect on Steroids … that includes corporate sponsorship… seems like we’re moving closer to the true meaning of advertising with every iteration.
Next we’ll be asked to pay for this feature … oh wait.
I can’t wait until the Assumed Intelligence bubble finally bursts and takes with it some of the largest companies in the world … perhaps this is how we finally address climate change.

Perhaps we should treat our politicians like athletes and expect a top performance free of doping.

As it happens, the ABC is already available on DAB+, so in some ways it’s a step backwards 😇

- Comment on Is Baofeng flagrantly lying to the FCC and endangering users? A deep dive 4 weeks ago:
That’s very interesting.
A little while ago we tested a bunch of radios for their spurious emissions. Until this post I was unaware that these radios were not tested by the FCC and that it appears that this is also true for other amateur transceivers.

Fairy sure that you’re seeing a bicycle only intersection. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but zero cars is not plausible, not even in Holland.

- Comment on [FoAR] Foundations of Amateur Radio - How to make our hobby and community resilient? #podcast 1 month ago:
I understand the sentiment and have experienced the science version of it, even said so out loud in a forum once.
I’m not sure if amateur radio is cut from the same cloth.
Whilst I acknowledge that there are some who’s biggest life achievement was passing their amateur licence exam, it’s not true for the majority of wonderful amateurs.
I’m wondering about how we can harness the changes that the regulator and technology inevitably introduces and find a way to make that change part of the mindset that comes with the hobby.
