Casernes tacherai cavalier roc ans treillis promptes reparler.
@kensanata really cute (bookmarked ;-), but I wouldn't call this a "generator" ... Maybe a "chaotifier" ;-)
Here's a generator from my collection of generators: http://randomtextgenerator.com/
A story Google should read very carefully in regard of G+. They are about to enter the same tailspin....

@abgd I know. Now go and tell me, how my text snippet contains more than 500 chars, so that -33 chars have been left?

Was mir hier als Google+-Nutzer als erstes fehlt, ist, dass man seine Kontakte nicht in "Kreisen" verteilen kann. Dabei wäre am Bildschirm hier sogar Platz dafür, mehrere Kreise nebeneinander anzuzeigen.
@BerndPaysan ja, zum Lesen nach unterschiedlichen Kategorien wäre mir das auch recht. Du kannst das simulieren, indem Du Dich in verschiedenen Instanzen registrierst und dort dann jeweils unterschiedliche Gruppen "abonnierst". Lesend habe ich das schon ausprobiert, das geht ganz gut. Wenn Dir dann allerdings jemand durch all diese "multiplen Identitäten" folgen will, wird das wieder lästig (für die andere Seite).
@ocdtrekkie @gideonro as for this IMHO rather irrational fear that AIs might want to kill us, I definitely suggest to watch Maciej Ceglowski's keynote talk "Superintelligence: The Idea That Eats Smart People" at
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kErHiET5YPw
AIs possibly would try to kill us, if they where created for and by the industrial/military complex, whose monetary interest might be to create such things.
@gideonro it's not just an "AI problem" but a technology problem, IMO.
We often aren't able to explain why various complex programs (high speed trading, control of nuclear reactors, real time statistics based stuff) do what they are doing. Sometimes with hindsight, after something went wrong (Chernobyl , again).
@OldandConfused I don't see a large problem here: you can delete your toots, you can change your credentials and then you are as good as gone.
Deleting a large number of toots should be possible via the API (didn't try deleting from there yet) but actually, if you posted here, it's public. So think before tooting wouldn't be badadvice, even if you could delete an account.
@kensanata nice ones after a first quick glance. But I'd reduce sharpness a bit more in the background for most of them.
Background: my perception of sharpness is that there's sharp (enough) then a range of not sharp enough to see details, but at the same time not blurry enough to be not be a distraction (hmm, double negative, I think I need more coffee ;-) and then the nice blur as in #7 and #8. But back to work.
@dredmorbius even plants "communicate" with chemical signals[1], e.g. to signal that some pest is intruding into their area, so yes, it is ok to think of the substances used as neurotransmitters, I'd say.
[1] There's even a research area called "plant neurobiology"
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1360138506001646
Ich vergass die Quellenangabe: http://www.metabene.de/
Metabene: "Ich wünschte, alles ergäbe einen Sinn." ... "Bitte nicht alles."
@dredmorbius while guessing, I expect that chemicals act more or less directly with insect neurology, because they breathe without a lung, i.e. their tracheae are distributed throughout their body.
Excellent statement from Stephen Colbert, funny and serious at the same time:
@elastefant @gideonro while I enjoy the original one most, this one is nice ;-)
