This Journalism Professor Made a Better New York City Chatbot in Minutes: How He Did It | HackerNoon He specifically asks his own bot some of the same questions we asked the city’s bot, and he got accurate responses when asking about rules for landlords

'That’s the big problem with chatbots—they will cite sources, they will say facts that are not facts. Then maybe there’s a little asterisk down at the bottom that says,”Sorry, some things here might not be true, double check all of them.” Which is just absurd.' hackernoon.com/this-journal...

Why the Fuss About Serverless? | HackerNoon To explain this, I’m going to have to recap on some old work with a particular focus on co-evolution.

The article linked in the top post, on conversational programming, has a link back to @swardley.bsky.social's post from 2016, describing "serverless" as an evolution of compute and practices.
