Where was this outrage at the Minneapolis school shooting a couple of weeks ago?

Or have we just gotten used to those?

I thought guns were good?

The cognitive dissonance is fucking astounding.

I once saw an artist in Puerto Rico who made huge pieces using just coffee on paper. This reminds me of that.

Any creative that actually works with AI isn’t the least bit worried that it will take their job. The fear mongering usually comes from those who don’t take the time to understand. AI still needs humans. Creativity, your unique POV, your personal taste, these are the inflection points.

ChatGPT's new image analysis feature is insane.

I loaded a random image of an air purifier and asked it to create an owner's manual for me.

🀯 Single-shot prompt.

I use GPT4o mini for writing quite a bit, I have to mess around with the voice feature more. I still like Claude better for writing. That’s great it’s working well for you with your work!

Got my girlfriend a cheese advent calendar and the highlight of my day is watching her pry it open like some kind of animal enrichment puzzle.

I just read Brave New Words by Sal Kahn about the future of AI in education. Great read. AI has great potential in education.

5 cent coins with engravings of skulls and other art.

"Hobo Nickel" is the name for American five-cent coins that were hand-engraved by homeless people during the Great Depression of 1930s.

A homeless man used these engravings to increase the value of an ordinary coin, creating small works of art that they could exchange for food or other services.

If someone believes it is theft, it’s because they haven’t taken the time to understand how the technology works.

I’ve reached the point in the holidays where cheesecake with every meal has lost its appeal. The bloom is off the rose.
