*extremely tired voice*AI agents don't "go rogue". They are not sentient; they don't have agency. They work within guardrails set by humans. If the humans are so shit at building secure sandboxes for the agents to work within, that's on the humans. Stop using this framing.

When my ear hurts and has some drainage, I will seek a diagnosis of “ear infection”. Nobody bats an eye. The way our world stigmatizes neurodivergence and mental health meant I never sought a diagnosis for ADHD until I had destroyed my marriage and had nothing left to lose. I’m lucky she stayed.

Im ending up with a lot of little bits of leather scrap. Plenty of it is vegetable tanned and very compostable as a result. But there’s a mix of other tanning methods and dyes that I don’t want to send right back into the environment. Has anyone ever tried home reconstituting of leather scrap?

I've always said there are legit uses for machine learning in science. That's great! Go for it! But I will likely never be interested in the consumer-facing generative and LLM bullshit that's linked with fraud, cheating, theft, right-wing ideology, deskilling, and even murder & suicide.

My favorite might be "Toby Danger," directed by former Batman: The Animated Series co-creator Eric Radomski (who, after BTAS and entering a new era of WB animation, was fairly eager to leave the company.) It's a fantastic Jonny Quest parody. www.youtube.com/watch?v=--Qi...

Freakazoid! introduced a lot of people to the kind of fourth-wall breaking humor that would become ubiquitous in animation just a few years later. A founding part of Kids' WB, it's a cult classic that constantly teased its own impending cancellation.

One of most heartbreaking things about Hank Green turning to LLMs is that he gets to do science communication full-time to a massive audience and is well-resourced. He doesn't need to cut corners or outsource his thinking. Meanwhile, there are so many people doing amazing work with zero resources.

The greatest magic trick of them all is *lying*. The reason you can't figure out that coin vanish even after the conjurer performs it three times in a row is that they *didn't* do the same trick three times in a row! 1/

A man's bearded face, constructed out of a medieval hillside, with walls, buildings, trees, hayricks and boulders forming the features. It has been hand-tinted. It looks across at an inverted, blurred, rippling version of itself. The background is a detail from a 19th C French anatomical chart depicting many different ear shapes.

Plenty on this list I already knew, plenty more I did not. Men, please get caught up on these horrors and please stop giving other men a pass. Maybe also go get a healthy sense of doubt… the benefit of such a thing is for jurors to dispense. Not for broad, general categories of men.

I don’t want to be too sensationalist about this but also I’m the least violent person in the world and I think if someone said this to my face I’d hit them

"A physical book is a delivery mechanism for information," it continues.
"Once that information has been extracted and encoded into an Al model, the delivery mechanism has served its purpose. What remains is paper, ink, and binding material. The book is not destroyed. Its value has migrated.
The paper returns to the material cycle; the knowledge enters the intellectual one."

this is really well said www.liberalcurrents.com/graham-platn... @liberalcurrents.com

There is also the elementary truth that Platner is but one man among millions; we are no more condemned to him than we are to Susan Collins. Neither has a right to rule; that is what democracy means. To say that we should have standards for those who govern us, and hold them to higher ones than we may hold a private citizen, is not elitism. It is a bulwark against everything we’re now fighting against—who can deny that Trump’s dictatorial streak is downstream of his violent entitlement, personal bigotry, and utter lack of moral restraint? His solipsism is a cataclysmic personal flaw, and has proven fatal when applied to the mighty instruments of American power. His personal flaws have a body count that may already number in the millions.
