For those who can, here are links to donate directly to local efforts on the ground resisting ICE's terrorizing of Minneapolis. Let me know what you donated to where, and I'll match it until I get a panicked call from my bank!

how absolute dare you say that about two similarly baffling sources of personal inspiration, shut up and be kind to yourself

I mean you know math and Willie so I think that makes you at LEAST esoterically Pretty Cool

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

I expect that consumer-facing AI programs will continue to improve and they may become much more useful tools for everyday life in the future.

But I think it was a disastrous mistake that today’s models were taught to be convincing before they were taught to be right.

I'm too offline to be cool, too online to be healthy, and I care too much to justify rest/recovery to myself; I think I'm fucked as far as being a functional human

We could all do with some wholesome trans content and this had me bawling: here’s the moment where Beth McCarthy gave a trans person a new name at her concert.

It is hard to predict exactly what an LLM will output in response to any given input. Otherwise you wouldn’t need LLMs!

Therefore, when allowing an LLM to interface with the world, you should always ask “What’s the worst that could happen?” and prepare for that to actually happen.

No matter how bad you imagine smallpox was, it was worse than that.

Close mockup images of 4 models wearing tshirts: 1) a black t-shirt with a two-headed crow-raven in silver ink printed in the middle. Various shiny objects that corvids might enjoy are printed along the neckline of the t-shirt. 2) a brown t-shirt with a white raptor skeleton in the middle. There are small orange ammonites near the collar and the bottom right hem of the shirt. 3) a lavender t-shirt with a black game controller in the middle of flower petals that are patterned with circuitboard designs. Smaller flowers are on the left shirt sleeve and near the bottom right hem that feature a d-pad and a group of face buttons in their centers. 4) a yellow t-shirt with a brown dragon baking a loaf of bread in the middle. The sleeves of the t-shirt are printed with small bread items.

We’re working on some new T-shirts! This will be a small-ish run printed in-house, and we want to make sure we focus on making the designs people are most interested in! Please give us your opinions at this poll: freshhotflavors.com/poll

I made a comic about having artist friends with hyperfixations

Incredible honestly. Wouldn't be shocked if this was the reason for most of the ambiguous horror endings i love.

folks COULD really spend their time *not* being exhausting and YET? like damn, I'm a white bitch and always still learning how to best ally, but also fuck if being a vocal racist shit don't sound like infinitely more work than just... listening to/caring about folks?
