@davidwellington.bsky.socialHappy birthday! I had no idea you and HG Wells shared a day.
@davidwellington.bsky.socialI am real, I checked. I don’t know what it would take to be a fake one… yes, I wrote those. I’m very glad you enjoyed them!
@rethinkjeff.bsky.socialReposted by @davidwellington.bsky.socialSaw a post about AI thinking and so feel compelled to remind everyone that we can't even come to something resembling a consensus about what thinking even is, let alone how it happens. You can literally get a PHD is not knowing how we think.

@ronearl.bsky.socialReposted by @davidwellington.bsky.socialWas thinking about a book or series I love to see adapted. @davidwellington.bsky.social's zombie series came to mind. Kirkman's The Walking Dead series has salted the genre since. But some of the ideas in Monster Island, and sequels were very creative. The vampire and werewolf books were good too.

@beijingpalmer.bsky.socialReposted by @davidwellington.bsky.socialmy personal view is that you should treat AI as if you were a magician attempting to command a spirit that is inhuman, potentially useful, and invested in attempting to convince you it is something other than it is. you know, rationally.

A thin crescent Moon, sunlight illuminating the rugged lunar surface. And 2,400 times farther away—and on the other side of the Sun—mighty Jupiter, and its moons Io (left) and Ganymede (right).

@davidwellington.bsky.socialStrange New Worlds. They’ve given up on any kind of continuity and now every episode is just… What if Trek but in Black and White?
