I'm all for Twitter alternatives like mastodon/fediverse and now @bluesky etc., but… remember Diaspora*? Remember App.net? The escape velocity needed is non-trivial, and the majority of barriers are not technical ones. [will gladly eat my words later]
Instead of evaluating AI tech based on the capabilities of individual versions/current state, best start getting used to evaluating rate of change/improvement too. AI model release/version numbers won't stay incremental like you're used to with traditional software.
For some quantitative context on yesterday’s devastating #rainfall, #flooding, and the subsequent State of Emergency declared for Tāmaki Makaurau / #Auckland, here’s a visual comparing the 263mm 24h rainfall (measured in multiple places, e.g. CBD, Māngere) vs. Mean *monthly*:😲

Chart: 24 hour rainfall for Tāmaki Makaurau / Auckland, 27 Jan 2023 (263mm, as measured in multiple places e.g. Auckland CBD and Māngere) vs. Mean monthly rainfall in Auckland, NZ form 1981–2010 (millimetres) - Monthly value for Jan: ~75mm, and max monthly value for July: ~145mm
This is a significant event. Not seen anything like this in Tāmaki Makaurau before. More storms coming and we’ve had a summers worth of rain in one day.
‼️Please try to remain calm. Call 111 only if you’re in danger. Emergency services are stretched.

⚠️ Severe weather is currently affecting the Tāmaki Makaurau region with areas in the north, north west and west of Auckland affected by significant flooding.
we're working with emergency services to establish what help is needed on the ground. (1/3)
Wow, end of an era! What an amazing project to have had the privilege to witness taking the developer world by storm (as well as some sporadic contributions which I'm proud of!) and serving as the basis/framework for many more great projects.
