@Ibex Haha, it did occur to me to build something like that, but of course there are already several plugins that can do it for you.
Such as this one:

I donât know if it will help you, but my day got a bit better every time I was able to replace ChatGPT with Bumfuzzle and AI with Argle-bargle.
In todayâs headlines:
- Voice system used to verify identity by Centrelink can be fooled by Argle-bargle
- Microsoft details how Argle-bargle will change its Office apps
- Chinese tech firm Baidu unveils Argle-bargle chatbot to rival Bumfuzzle
- In January, Bumfuzzle failed the bar. In March Bumfuzzle-4 exceeds the nationwide student average
- New Open Argle-bargle and Google platforms up the ante on race for supremacy in Argle-bargle.
- UK to invest ÂŁ900m in supercomputer in bid to build Brit-Bumfuzzle.
@alyssapanetta
Thank you so much Alyssa!! Everyone was very enamored with your talk, hence the wish to really make sure they got the understanding of this concept right as well.
Iâll pass everything on to the âaudienceâ. Theyâre watching a full day of talks tomorrow as well.
@kazarnowicz
Ah yes, Mastodon interprets Akkoma a bit strangely and makes tags into links (if they become before other links). But thanks for the heads up. I'l try and remember to not add tags without other links in the page đ
@kazarnowicz When I myself click that tag I get a tag search on my own instance and all posts with the tag "axecon" from others as well. Don't know why Mastodon does this with posts from Akkoma or Pleroma, but it's a known bug.
Watching Axe-con all day with lots of wonderful people in the accessibility space. Best work day in a long time. Feels like I've been away from reality forever.

Insight: HTML email still doing a bad job of accessibility. Zooming in HTML emails works poorly at best. Work on you newsletters everyone, and test them in several clients.

Insight: When people are subjected to an overwhelming cognitive load they often have to take long breaks before being able to continue with the task they are doing on your website. These effects are very real and strenuous for a lot of people.
#axecon
Alyssa Panetta's 3 big tips for reducing cognitive load.
1. Semantic HTML and Familiar Layout Patterns
- Maximize germane, minimize extraneous
- Use clear headings
2. Use modern CSS and make your site flexible
- Amazing new flexibility with minimal code
3. Say it twice
- Increases chances of users understanding what you mean
- (my comment: known in communication science as increasing redundancy)
- add motion to grab attention (CSS transforms/transitions)

@alyssapanetta
Top insight from @alyssapanetta, which I always assumed but hadn't seen hard data for:
The word "Menu" as a button outperforms having a button with a hamburger menu alongside the word "Menu".
The hamburger menu detracts from, rather than improves, usability.
Thank you Alyssa. Great talk! (we are a gang of 40 people watching selected #axecon talks together)
@alyssapanetta
A lot of people seemed to get a bit stuck on the concept of "Maximize germane, minimize extraneous" that you had in your talk.
The words/concepts were unfamiliar for a Swedish audience and we struggled to find an easy translation. Have you expanded on this in text somewhere?

â Australian employer, business tech and research groups have formed an alliance to tackle responsible AI by developing best practice guidance, tools and training for Australian companies using the high-risk technology.
It will offer Australian businesses support with guidance and training on the fundamental challenges of AI like data bias and unknown or unforeseen outcomes so business users build explainability, fairness and accountability into Australian AI systems.â

@Beantin
Yes, instead of making stuff to inflate our own sense of self-worth.
It's confusing to me that designers are excited about building graphical user interfaces (GUIs) using ChatGPT and manage to look past the purpose of the interface they themselves are building.
With the power of chatbots why would people need an interface for buying tickets if they can tell a chatbot to buy tickets for them?
The GUI is in many cases an obstacle to goal completion. It's rarely a goal in itself.
If you see a chat tool as a better tool than the interface of your design software, why would you assume that the same reasoning does not apply to the interfaces you yourself build? They should also become obsolete.
Welcome to the future. đ
I'm being interviewed about AI and Human rights later today, a follow-up on my talk at Raoul Wallenberg Institute a little over a year ago.
It will be in Swedish, and I think I just thought of the perfect explanatory model. In Sweden we ALL watch the same cartoons every year on Christmas eve (don't ask). One of them is Mickey's Trailer, where Mickey, Donald and Goofy are on a camping trip in a high-tech trailer.
In the revelation scene they all convene at the breakfast table in the still moving trailer, and as they are devouring their food Mickey suddenly asks "Hey, who's driving?!" To which Goofy responds "Why, I'm driving!"
It takes him a while to realise he isn't and in a fit of panic he rushes back to the out-of-control car, inadvertently unhitching the trailer, which then comes crashing down the mountain road with Mickey and Donald still inside, Goofy of course completely oblivious to what's going on.
There you have it. That's the dilemma of AI today, summed up in this question: "Who's driving?"
Oh yeah, if you're curious: you can also watch, or read the full transcript of, my AI and Humans Rights talk from January 2022, which was in English.

Good example. I know the entire African continent is host to at least 2,000 languages.
And there's the input limitations of keyboards. Thinking of the Ndélélé alphabet for example.
@CatherineFlick @yiningkarlli
Wow, that's one of the scariest reports I've read thus far on this whole debacle đš The fact that it was published a year ago (almost to the day) and the researchers were talking about GPT-3 as a potential starting point makes it even more frightening.
Is me!

Jag suger Ät mig av "axbomskt". Jag Àr jÀtteglad över att fÄ uppfattas pÄ det sÀttet.
Alla lÀser inte. Jag vet. SÄ för att göra mitt innehÄll mer tillgÀngligt erbjuder jag mÄnga av mina texter nu ocksÄ som ljud. Nej, inte automatiskt. Det Àr jag som lÀser in.
Vad bidde det dÄ? Det blev en podcast.
Att lÀsa in mina texter gör mina texter bÀttre. NÀr jag mÀrker att nÄgot inte kÀnns bra i lÀsningen sÄ kan jag gÄ tillbaka och Àndra texten. Jag hittar lÀttare stavfel och repetitioner. Jag fÄr ocksÄ en helt annan relation till mina ord nÀr jag lÀr kÀnna dem med rösten.
Och i vissa inspelningar kan jag inte lÄta bli att leka loss med passande ljudeffekter. Som i det hÀr senaste avsnittet (avsnitt 5) dÀr jag adresserar AI-hajpen. Det du hör hÀr i inlÀgget Àr nÄgra spridda klipp frÄn programmet.
Det Àr lÀtt att glömma att man redan har bra innehÄll som man kan förstÀrka genom att göra det mer tillgÀngligt. Vilket innehÄll har du glömt som du kan hjÀlpa fler att ta del av? TÀnk att du kan nÄ fler mÄlgrupper med det du har, i stÀllet för att alltid skapa mer för de mÄlgrupper som redan fÄr sÄ mycket.

@simonwilliamson Wow, thatâs a great example. I understand that no countries in Africa observe DST. I wish the EU would follow suit.
Daylight Saving Time starts today in the US. In Europe we still have two weeks until we change the clocks. So itâs time for that fortnight when thereâs a significant risk for transatlantic scheduling errors.
BUT⊠remember that itâs not all of the United States that switches to DST. Exceptions to remember are that Hawaii and Arizona do not observe Daylight Saving Time.
BUT⊠that is not entirely true either. In northeast Arizona, in the Navajo Nation, they do. So, not observing the DST is not true of the entire state of Arizona.
The Navajo Nation territory goes beyond Arizona into states that follow DST, southeastern Utah and northwestern New Mexico. Observing DST allows everyone on the vast reservation to live by the same clock schedule.
Arizona previously observed Daylight Saving Time beginning in 1918, but made the permanent change to Standard time in 1968. Yes, with that exception.
