The intoxicating smell doesn't match the taste.

Picture of a heart-shaped path my dog took in the freshly fallen snow for his morning constitutional.

Five years ago I could have asked Google for this kind of information, and I would be able to find the actual info.
my kids have no idea how awesome Google used to be.
Its so shitty now. the search engines feeds us slop and tell us to enjoy it.

They desperately want it not to be 'what a search engine plus a normal brain can do in 5 minutes that they are trying to make us forget what a search engine is or that a brain has a memory. I love the 'ratings' bit--ratings from where?

Grey's Anatomy would never!

Thank you for sharing this. I wasn't aware of this grocery store, but I read the article and watched the video, and set up a recurring donation, all because of this post.

JFC, I've watched enough spy shows to know that this intelligence shouldn't be shared.

Do it like Wikipedia and crowd source the curation. Let's go!

You also call your kitty googly eyes? Here is my Pee Wee, aka Mr. Googly Eyes.

This is so cool and it makes me think about all the un-digitized information out there that wasn't pillaged by AI web scraping bots.

Doing the lord's work! Thanks #MLAUXCaucus!

A+ librarian research. Slop citations having real citation counts in Ggle Scholar is bad. So many use Scholar as their only source of info, but the pool is full of piss.

B. Next semester needs a clean slate.

Black kittens are special. 🤩🖤

Small black cat, asleep, curled up on my legs. Christmas Tree in the background. Looks cozy.

#Caturday, Sunday edition.

Zoomed in picture of the Yorkie in a blue puffer coat, his tongue is curled upwards, he is licking his nose.

Right, Archie?

Small Yorkie dressed in a blue puffer coat, walking down a shoveled path, the snow is as tall as him.

If its going to be cold, at least there is snow.

The award is a crystal plaque from the Midwest Chapter/MLA, my tortie cat, Veronica, is posing behind it.

Incredibly thankful to have been named Distinguished Librarian of the Year Award for the #MWCMLA.
I love the chapter and it feels so good to be recognized by my peers.

The last image shows a clearly different face with thiicker eyebrows, less makeup, bigger teeth, wrinkles, crows feet.

Copilot - sure, no problem. Here's some shaggy (shaggier than the original!) eyebrows, some wrinkles, lemme thin your lips and add some bigger teeth.

Background is removed, the person in the image looks a lot like myself, but it's not me.

Copilot - sure, no prob. How about we add an uncanny valley filter.
Me - I need my face back. Can you remove the filter?

Headshot of myself, taken at my desk, there's a lot going on in the background, including a bookshelf and a curtain.

Hey Copilot, can you remove the background on this picture?

Methodology

Christ, that's a lot of data. Public data, to be sure, but so nicely packaged.

How does one give a non-consent to this invasive tracking?

My 15 y/old daughter received a 60+ y/old man's phone number at work, even after she told him she was in high school. This happened last night.

Coincidence or gross old men feeling emboldened?

Asking this question because journal publishers are starting to care that we are using Copilot. #medlib problems. :/

#AI #Copilot question. My institution uses Copilot & Copilot has access to our internal documents & data. The LLM piece of Copilot is creating answers based on what is found during RAG.

*Is the LLM being trained on that content, and does that training go outside our environment?*

YouTube video by Charlie Berens How AI data centers were invented #shorts

Brilliant satire that doubles as a primer on the ongoing construction boom of supersized data centers across small town America—promoted as jobs creators even as the AI they enable is…wiping out jobs.

And to think once upon a time we taught students that government data was a reliable, reputable option of information. Next we'll use the Walgreens Report to measure health in the US.

Fuck. . .

When toasting things, once you smell it its done. Saved many a pan of almonds w/ this hack.
Not ADHD, but I shared this trick with an ADHD friend and she uses it all the time.

omg, I was trying to figure out why it looks gilded. oof, now I see it.
