Once again, I'm about to talk a little bit about AI and how I've found it useful. I know some people think all AI is bad and there can be no good uses of it. Good for you if that's true. Please just ignore, mute, or block, rather than lecturing me. Now...

Why isnβ€˜t anyone talking about model collapse? As big as AI is getting, and as sick as I am of hearing about it, this one topic never seems to come up

new blog post time! I hate myself for it, but this one is about AI.

Meet the sand cat. Thick soles on its paws allow it to withstand the temperature extremes of desert sand. In parts of its range, days can reach 124Β° Fahrenheit (51Β° C) and then plummet to 31Β° Fahrenheit (-0.5Β° C) by night!

Volkswagen "Pink Moon"
YouTube video by Alan Pafenbach Volkswagen "Pink Moon"

The reality is that studios can spend the next 10 years throwing hundreds of millions of dollars into AI-produced, algorithm-driven "content" and yet they'll never produce a work even a fraction as emotionally evocative as a 90 second Volkswagen ad from 1999

Screenshot of an X thread. DHH posts: "Unenforceable and retarded" quoting a PC Gamer tweet about a California law requiring age verification at operating-system account setup. Dave W Plummer replies that he has a slow processing disorder and objects to casual use of "retard" saying it marginalizes people and mentioning intellect heritability. DHH responds: "Bluesky is down the hall and to the left."

The triple-decker nonsense sandwich: slur as punchline, earnest objection, then "Bluesky is down the hall" as if basic decency is a niche political hobby.

The people who built Rails community include disabled people. DHH is an example of what a OSS community leader shouldn't be.

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads:

The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.

And our governments are very much the same...

- Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

The logo of the "Keep Android Open" campaign is an Android robot dressed as Darth Vader. Across the top it says "I AM ALTERING THE DEAL"  in all caps, and below the robot it says "Pray I don't alter it further".

This is a reference to how Android acquired a massive catalog of apps be making access open to the platform back in the day, and Google assuring it would remain open, as opposed to the iOS platform which was (and still is) very restricted.

And, of course, Star Wars.

KDE supports the "Keep Android Open" campaign

#Google will cut off independent developers to #Android if they do not register with Google first. This will kill independent platforms like @fdroidorg.bsky.social and severely impede FLOSS devs from creating apps for Android.
