It’s a cliché that “data is the new oil” that will power the next industrial revolution. Where does the data that powers Artificial Intelligence come from? And if data is the fuel for AI, what is the product?

Drawings of a few things cooler than AI such as owls, clouds, Stars, dreams, birds, snails, a child's drawing, peanut butter and jelly a hug, the ocean and a cool rock

Is there plastic on the furniture? 😄

Congrats Xana! I hope you have a successful surgery and a speedy recovery. 🍈🍈➡️🗑️

A woman standing in her kitchen. She is taking a photo of herself and her boyfriend who is just a circulatory system. The text reads: It is November 10th now. Your circulatory system boyfriend stands by your pan in the kitchen. Unattended cooking is the number one cause of home fires. There are more home fires on Thanksgiving than any other day of the year. Always stand by your pan.

Today.

I wish I had a direct solution for you, this does seem frustrating!
Only other suggestion would be to see if you can clean the printer. I think most have a cleaning setting for the heads. Or maybe there’s a part that needs physical cleaning.

Old Internet post, picture of text: User ndiecity: The Sun is probably the closest thing we'll ever have to a true Eldritch Abomination. Hear me out here- - Older than recorded history; was here longer than any of us and will be here long after we leave. Has a finite beginning and end but is still incomprehensibly ancient - Burns itself into your vision instantly and can blind you if you look for too long - further prolonged exposure can cause cancerous growths - Non-humanoid shape floating through space, colossal flaming tentacles angrily lash out on occasion -Sort of just appeared one day and is now surrounded by the corpses of it's stillborn children - People used to sacrifice other people to appease it - Pretty sure it screams at us sometimes ~~~ User pondwitch: don't talk or think about this please

Reminded me of this old post about The Sun

the band red fang in their beer can armour from the music video prehistoric dog: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VufilzHKTqk

the beer can armour *is* real though.

if you are food insecure for both the humans and pets in your household there is a tool called Pet Help Finder that can help locate pet food banks nearby and other free or reduced price assistance and supplies for pets.
no one, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE, should have to give up their pet bc of this.

Is this where you are picking up the paper with your fingers?
I wonder if oil from your fingers is causing this problem.

Makes me miss the good old days of working demo devices at places like Best Buy!

What a neat concept. I've signed up! Thanks for the tip

Ughh I want a Supernote. But I'm not sure???

Let me just borrow one for like a month and then that'll convince me.

I tried digital Morning Pages earlier this fall on Zinnia. The only limiting factor was waiting for my pencil to charge. 😝

Sisqo always sang like his family was held hostage. Have you heard him on any random song lol. Listen to how he sang on Wild Wild West, he went hard for everything. I love it lol

Last year I had an art commission to paint jacarandas and was so dismayed by the amount of AI imagery that’s in gardening pages.

@archive.org came in helpful for this task, looking up wonderfully scanned books on plants and gardening. 🥰🙌🏽

Baldness really got him follicle-curious.

Ahhhh amazing!! 🤩

Also Hi @chrisdemars.net ! Good to see you in BSky. He taught me GitHub long long long ago 🤗

I am curious about the group pic and these 3D printed weapons!!

Two young girls (Mei and Satsuki), wearing winter wear, are building a totoro snowman. The snowman has CD eyes and twig whiskers. The small white totoro is sitting on top of the snowman, invisibility wearing off. In the very background there’s a blue totoro. The snow is sparkling in pastel shades.

Mei, Satsuki and the smaller totoros enjoying the snow! A few days late for #ghiblinovember.

The Nonprofit Doing the AI Industry’s Dirty Work Common Crawl claims to provide a public benefit, but it lies to publishers about its activities.

We rarely post news stories, but this is a significant and impactful story from @alexreisner.bsky.social @ the atlantic, detailing just how Common Crawl is scraping the internet for AI companies and accepting takedown requests but doing nothing: www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

So @occasionallysubtle.bsky.social is doing a lil collectively sourced gift guide for people over on Instagram, where everyone can recommend small businesses for doing your gift shopping!!

Anyway, I wrote some little recommendations in the comments and wanted to share them here!!

Ugh I dealt with that as a kid. It’s the worst!!
A ladybug is cute. But a thousand is terrifying.

Subscribed for the next year! I love reading Flytrap.

A large ceramic platter shaped like a banana leaf with ten small colorful spice bowls stacked behind it rest on a wooden table. Next to them is a speckled tan mug with a bird of paradise design. In the background is the interior of a bright sunlit retail shop interior.

A large pitcher made from speckled clay that has several colorful large leaves painted on its exterior, along with a striking and vibrant bird of paradise flower.

A round plate that's white with an unglazed brown edge. Hand-painted across the middle of the plate is a large length-wise cross-section of an okra in vibrant green.

Four speckled tan mugs are stacked 2 by 2, each with a blue monstera leaf and an abstract star-burst fan palm motif painted on the exterior.

Hi friends! Allow me to introduce myself.

My work is inspired by the bright colors of tropical plants and vibrant houses of New Orleans, where I make my work.
