With my writing (urban fantasy & sci-fi) and photographic prints, I'm exploring the spectrum between nihilism and wonder as I seek to understand why I've felt broken & out of phase. Also searching for a mythical place called home. Shades of neurodiversity

My understanding of the original meaning of "Cake" was the baked on, crusty residue on the walls/floor/mortor joints inside a heavily used bread oven. This residue of leftover, burnt bread dough was "caked" on. You "could" eat it, after scraping it off. But was it not healthy & usually trash.

I stubbed my toe once and broke it. I didn't do anything for a couple of days.

I think the concept that people who have these opinions can't seem to grasp is: the jobs tech bros are trying to take with AI is NOT a burden to those of use who chose these careers. We like doing things, creative things, hard things. That's part of the whole point.

Describing the nuanced difference between words like β€œcorrelation,” β€œassociation,” and β€œincreased risk” with "proven causal links". 2) the limitations in a study that relies on "self reporting". And 3) publication bias blocking research that doesn't fit a narrative or expectation.

This excellent reporting by PBS News is so much more than just the subject line. The article succinctly describes how to understand any research that is disseminated to the general public. Namely in the following three ways: 1)

It is! I imagine at these data rates, it must be extremely hard to parse it all. How do you handle that? And do you have an estimate for a percentage of discoveries that may be missed because of the shear volume?

To clarify, the ATA produces 2tb of data each and every day?!

Grew up on them! Probably saw Raiders a hundred times. My only problem is the minimum system specs!

Thanks for this. I appreciate the added description. I don't mind a bit of that on the rare occasion I play something. I'm just not into gratuitously violent games for their own sake.

Not a gamer here... But love Indie and puzzle games. Could you tell me the name of this game? Thanks

I should have "the minimum fine" as I believe that the nature of willful theft and the industry standard of stealing first and paying a pittance in fines later should be heavily fined beyond the restitution to the victims. This kind of business practice needs to regulated and fined out of existence

The fine should be $75 billion = 500k willfully infringed works X max penalties of $150k each. And they should be required to destroy the model. In the Napster days, children were being fined 150k per stolen song. AI Corps should not get off easier than a child for the same class of crime.

OMG! The AI porn follow bots, a la xtwitter, are now invading Bluesky! @bsky.app is there anything that can be done to stop this madness? Or am I left to swat these away with blocks every other day? Thanks!

If I have an appointment, I just don't do anything before hand. I literally do nothing but wait to leave. And I have two reminders set within the hour I need to leave just to be sure.

With this technique, because I know I have to be up early, I'd have trouble sleeping most of the night. Then wake up with barely enough time to get ready, then speed there and have a belly ache from the anxiety from the ordeal!

Unfortunately, I've only seen quality go down while prices go up in the last several years.

Totally see the influence of Turner. And yet this is very much his own.
