1625496497528918021 | @WeldPond You're jealous a young black woman got more engagement on a tweet than you? So much so you exaggerate your speech with racist mimicking and you wonder why nobody listens to you? Her tweet was clear and didn't use any 'lingo'. So what exactly are you suggesting here? We see you. | 7 |
1624553042862391300 | @NaveenGRao @WeldPond GitHub, owned by MSFT. Chatgpt, runs on azure also owned by MSFT. Copilot run by GitHub. Why are people kidding themselves, MSFT has your code. Stop trying to protect it. Focus on your talent and innovation | 1 |
1625506409574981634 | @WeldPond @BrightApollo 1. Why tf does it matter if she got more engagement/views? 2. Did you think itโs funny or cool or somehow appropriate to use AAVE as a white man for more engagement? 3. Someone is getting dragged here and itโs not a person putting code into ChatGPT. | 1 |
1625504058500079619 | @WeldPond @BrightApollo You follow me so maybe you'll actually see this. Your entire take in this thread is really weird and embarrassing. Josie is well-respected in her own right, and whining about engagement is not a good look. This tweet *in particular* feels racist, like you're making fun of AAVE. | 1 |
1625505883143782400 | @WeldPond @nohackme my theory is she's kinder, more relatable, confident in herself...and would never have a conversation like this. | 1 |
1624493401197477894 | @WeldPond This is an excellent example of why most companies will use AI innovations from open-source models to create private tools that can be used freely by employees within their organization. Obviously, talking my book here due to my involvement with @StabilityAI | 1 |
1624540730135019520 | @WeldPond Running your own models in your own tenancy is the only way to do this right. Own, and perhaps owning the trained model too | 1 |
1625513357489893376 | @WeldPond @Dixie3Flatline @BrightApollo Have you apologized to Josie? Because that seems like it would be a good thing to do | 1 |

1626586679707602952 | @WeldPond Hmm.A flipper is really expensive. An Arduino does the same job at much lower cost. Seems a weird way to lead in the story. | 15 |
1625500037102043142 | @WeldPond @BrightApollo Chris, this is wrong. You have effectively taken attention off of the topic because you're jealous of engagement (???). And then you are mocking Josie with this. I hope you do better next time and skip the macroaggression too. Good day. | 11 |
1625513357489893376 | @WeldPond @Dixie3Flatline @BrightApollo Have you apologized to Josie? Because that seems like it would be a good thing to do | 11 |
1626685335974596608 | @cybergibbons @WeldPond Even a $1 arduino is excessive. A 14hz square wave is like $0.05 worth of discrete logic. | 10 |
1625518894503931907 | @WeldPond @IanColdwater @Dixie3Flatline @BrightApollo At the time of that Tweet, I did not see his DM. I did reply and ask him to do it publicly since the harm was done in public. | 9 |
1626700289096163328 | @WeldPond @michaelossmann had a great talk on this at @shmoocon a few years agoIf you want to make it undetectable, PWM your fancy headlights. IIRC the detectors only look for edges, so a duty cycle of 95% works just as well as a duty cycle of 5% | 9 |
1625516332488744962 | @WeldPond @IanColdwater @Dixie3Flatline @BrightApollo A resounding no. | 9 |
1625506409574981634 | @WeldPond @BrightApollo 1. Why tf does it matter if she got more engagement/views? 2.
