Microsoft is deleting its AI chatbot's incredibly racist tweets "Tay" says she supports genocide and hates black people.

at the time it was reported that at least some of the posts were the result of users saying "repeat after me:" and then deleting after the reply went out

YouTube video by OccupyOakland Occupy Oakland Black Friday Action at Target and Ikea

wasn't "on the ground" but this video always comes to mind, with the veneration of small businesses and the unforgettable line "mic check! (MIC CHECK!) Ikea was founded by Nazis! (IKEA WAS FOUNDED BY NAZIS!)"

I don't have anything specific to recommend but please report back with whatever you find!

well well well

synthesis: they can't tell, but they've heard that it's bad and they should dislike it, so they get mad at stuff like em dashes in human text

choosing to believe that "AuDHD" is an abbreviation for "High Definition Audio Device"

I glanced at it the other day because I was wondering how OpenCode worked, it had references to Solid and React reconcilers but I didn't look too deeply

isn't opentui react too?

to be fair the tweets really did capture what it would be like if Taylor Swift wrote about information security

there was a guy on twitter whose display name was his podcast's long-ass name followed by "(Podcast)" and i have to wonder if at any point anyone ever decided to check out his (Podcast) on the strength of the display name alone

there's a shadowy in-group of thinkers that all subscribe to a synthesis of esoteric beliefs and communicate entirely in shibboleths. i call it TESCREAL and i think it's pretty suspicious if you don't

storage container with "Traded on NASDAQ: MINI" label on it

ticker on storage container always made me laugh

they are jokes by the inimitable @nanoraptor.danamania.com, click through to her post to see the original unedited version

the last option here is what really bothers me, are there people whose eyes *don't* glaze over immediately when others send them this stuff?

when people publish bad writing that is obviously AI...
- do they think their readers can't tell?
- can THEY not tell?
- do they think it's better than they could do themselves?
- do they not see a problem because they earnestly engage with bad AI writing from others?

i am very tired of hearing about the lessons we can learn from Albuquerque

YouTube video by Quote These Clips! MST3K The Movie - Normal view

think of this every time i see the phrase "normal view"

our top scientists have finally invented the thong for your upper body. (bottom scientists seething)

man, "that's just a guy whose posts you see a lot, you have no reason to think he's smart or well-informed or even well-intentioned" is so extremely obvious but so easy to lose sight of

maybe it's a UK tic that spread everywhere englishlanguagethoughts.com/2016/10/26/i...

my most annoying prescriptivist belief is that "release" and similar are transitive verbs. "the film releases next week", "Adobe Animate will discontinue on March 1": what is wrong with you

any of this stuff that ends up being useful (rather than productivity theater) will be in the base tool with no configuration needed in a month anyway!

news to me, but makes sense

on the flip side it's equally weird when someone puts me on an "evil dunces" list, but the list creator doesn't actually have the list blocked, so i still see their posts and only find out about the list when i peer into the bad vibes aggregator

everyone's being too harsh on that one historian today, he deserves a Tooze compliment

Exploring a space-based, scalable AI infrastructure system design

not saying it pencils today (I've heard that this Google report is the most serious treatment), mostly just throwing it out there because I've seen a *lot* of "nothing like this could ever work" assertions that rhyme with assertions I heard for years about Starlink, Falcon, Tesla, LLMs, etc

ok, as a prototype, how about a constellation of ~10,000 satellites full of computers that process and transmit high volumes of data among each other and to and from ground stations?

might need to add "it is impossible to radiate heat in space" to this list

Many such cases
