Male and female Green Jay’s look alike but we can tell this Jay comes from the south because of its bright yellow belly. “The Green Jay (Cyanocorax yncas) is a colorful, social bird from the crow family, known for its bright green, yellow, and blue plumage with a black and blue head, found from southern Texas through Central America and into South America.” Our Jay is seen in full profile, facing to our left. They’ve landed on the end small vertical branch and look ready to fly off!

Calling all bird-loving artists! This month’s bird is a Green Jay! 💚 Draw! Paint! Sculpt! We hope you'll join us. Posting day is March 25th.

How US tech giants supplied Israel with AI models, raising questions about tech's role in warfare U.S. tech giants have quietly empowered Israel to track and kill many more alleged militants more quickly in Gaza and Lebanon through a sharp spike in artificial intelligence and computing services.

I would like to remind people that AI has already been used to kill people

OpenAI and Microsoft supplied Israel with AI models to track and kill people in Gaza which led to increased civilian deaths

A drawing of some things you might find in a kitchen: a tea towel, a bundle of herbs (parsley, thyme, sage, bay), two wooden spoons, some butcher's twine, a cutting board, a big knife, a candle stub on a little plate, a ceramic jar, some cardamom pods, a garlic bulb (bisected).

"There's no gen AI in the game at all, we only used gen AI during the development process." is not the good look people seem to think it is... Like, that's still genAI going into the game. It's still genAI being used.

What people want is no genAI. At all. Period.

The front of my pants with a little paw print exactly in the middle of my groin.

The culprit of said paw print, my little puppy, an Aussie-poodle pug mix, plays in the steps, more muddy little paw prints all around her.

She bonked me on the nuts and went right back out to play in the mud.

Imagine if we took the money being thrown at AI slop at the state level... and funneled it to libraries.

Genuinely, this kind of stuff is at beast meaningless and more likely to be harmful, given the literacy rates in MA and the continued failure to provide every child with a school library/ian.
