As a palette cleanser #Dubnation, here is a picture of the baby hummingbird living in our tree. This little guy slept alone for the very first time last night. Mama bird came back in the morning to feed him.

look, I've heard people claim that Al Gore would have invaded Iraq and that Hilary Clinton would have put anti-abortion justices on the Supreme Court. 'the imaginary version of the Democrats in my head' is always going to win for some people really committed to the 'both parties are the same' crap.

This image, which purports to show the US embassy in Riyadh on fire after widely reported drone strikes, is AI-generated and fake.

Google's SynthID tool detects watermarks in the image that indicate it was made with Google AI.

THREAD: Misinformation in the Iran/US/Israel war - 3 March

This viral video claims to show the aftermath of a reported drone attack on the US embassy in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, tonight.

But the video was posted last week to TikTok, and shows an unrelated car accident in Riyadh.

If a lunar eclipse happens in the night sky but there’s fog obscuring the view… does it even cast a shadow?

Yes, of course. Because LLMs are being built by people who made social networks before, which were algorithms designed to amplify content that would reflect back your priors in another person’s voice. It’s ex-Facebook product managers making ChatGPT! Except more emotionally addictive this time.

Volume up for low-key corgi growling

It's a good thing my Pembroke wasn't involved. Tug-of-war is way too triggering for her and she would get aggressive.

I just mind when he starts shooting 3s and missing instead of driving to the rim. But he has so much good energy, and takes direction well.
