🖥️ **Blogging Platform Advice Requested**

Some time back, I set up a blog on _rant.li_. The purpose of the blog was to allow for a place where I could review books and interact with visitors. I chose rant.li because I wanted to stay close to the Fediverse. Since registering on the platform, I have found the experience frustrating. I understand that rant.li is minimalist in nature and this was something that was an attraction; however, I found navigation across the platform difficult. Until the very end, I still did not know if a partial article that I had written was saved as a draft or published for the world to see. The final straw came a few days ago when I was unable to access the account. There was no way for me to try to retrieve or change the password.

Writing personally and subjectively the user experience on rant.li was immensely difficult and over time had the feeling of a process of diminishing returns.

My request now is that I still have a desire to write my book reviews on a blog, what would you suggest is the best way forward?

🔴 **Fediverse Blogging Platform Question**

As I have mentioned before I wanted to write a blog about books and reading. At the time one of the suggestions that I received was to use _rant.li_ which I promptly did. Unfortunately, I found the platform difficult to use and particularly difficult to navigate. I wonder is there any other blogging platform on the Fediverse?

🔴 **A linkless internet**

Collin Jennings

_“Most discussions of AI are concerned with how soon an AI model will achieve ‘artificial general intelligence’ or at what point AI entities will be able to dictate their own tasks and make their own choices. But a more basic and immediate question is: what pattern of activity do AI platforms currently produce? Does AI dream of itself?”_

🔴 **ChatGPT’s artificial empathy is a language trick. Here’s how it works**

Cristian Augusto Gonzalez Arias

_"The chatbot’s use of the first person simulates awareness and seeks to create an illusion of empathy. By adopting a helper position and using the second person, it engages the user and reinforces the perception of closeness. This combination generates a conversation that feels human, practical, and appropriate for giving advice, even though its empathy comes from an algorithm, not from real understanding."_

🔴 **How ChatGPT (Mis)represents Publisher Content**

By Klaudia Jaźwińska and Aisvarya Chandrasekar

_“In total, we pulled 200 quotes from 20 publications and asked ChatGPT to identify the sources of each quote. We observed a spectrum of accuracy in the responses: some answers were entirely correct (i.e., accurately returned the publisher, date and URL of the block quote we shared), many were entirely wrong, and some fell somewhere in between.”_
