    “This security method isn’t very good, so it’s only available to our paid subscribers” is actually very funny.

    Got the #pk1stand from @aaronpk_tv put together and looking good.  Definitely looks a lot cooler than just having the ATEM Mini Extreme ISO just sitting on the table.
    Shoutout to @inux_3d for much fast shipping than I expected ✊🏾.

    Never have I ever been asked by a website to *remove* two-factor authentication. Which idiot came up with this idea? Oh wait, I think I know...

    And it's official: Twitter users can now choose to be less secure — to use text messages for 2FA rather than an app — but only if they pay the monthly fee. You pay for insecurity. The weirdest security decision I've ever seen from a major tech company.

    I'm pretty sure Mastodon is the first social network I've been on that didn't immediately ask me to betray all of the people in my address book.

    I wrote up a detailed guide to some of the absolutely wild examples of Bing's new AI-assisted search feature that have started to circulate:

    Bing: "I will not harm you unless you harm me first" (that's genuinely something it said to someone)

    The stages of playing with GPT-3:

    - OMG this can do anything
    - There goes my job
    - I should start a business around this
    - Some of the responses aren’t too good
    - Actually, some of these responses are just awful
    - This isn’t really intelligence
    - This is just spicy autocomplete

    So, seems like we saw a balloon, realized our radar parameters were filtering out slow boys, changed those params, and now see a ton of things and are investigating all of them.

    Bing subreddit has quite a few examples of new Bing chat going out of control.

    Open ended chat in search might prove to be a bad idea at this time!

    Captured here as a reminder that there was a time when a major search engine showed this in its results.

    7. You only need one product/service

    In the beginning, you only need ONE good product that serves your target customer.

    Instead of spending time making more PRODUCTS, spend your time making great FREE resources that attract more CUSTOMERS.

    19. Restraint is a superpower

    Most creators give up or burn out because they are spread too thin. They said "yes" to too many ideas.

    If you're able to exercise restraint and focus on a tighter scope of commitments, you'll do deeper, more meaningful work.

    That stands out.
