Attached: 1 image #Mastodon is doing even worse, in case anyone was curious. It's hovering around a lowly 750,000 active users. (Data from https://mastodon-analytics.com. I'm not sure how accurate it is, but the trends seem clear enough.)

What I find surprising is the amount of things that shouldn’t really be broken, but are: Exposé hiding almost all apps in the Spaces preview at the top, windows hiding when switching Spaces, AppleScript hangs… all stuff that I hardly imagined (any human) touched in a long time, but should not be […]

Attached: 1 image An AI slowdown would mean regulation so OpenAI and Anthropic remain the primary vendor lock ins, and that the AI bubble doesn't burst - as investors think its potential is only capped by regulation. It delays people realising it's not god. It's pretty transparently obvious to me the cultish doomsday narrative is due to awful internal culture at Anthropic (I've heard first hand from employees there saying it is a cult), and ultimately this is about culture for IPOs and money.

Schrödinger wakes up, groggy, no memory of the last few hours, unsure of his surroundings. He seems to be confined inside some kind of box. There is a strange mechanism at one end. His pulses quickens; from outside he hears a cat purring.

The fine line between dirty and clean. #Huskies #DogsOfMastodon
A triptych of portraits of Siberian husky Zeena, fresh in from a trip out in the yard. On the left, a profile of the right side of her face, snow white muzzle and gray forehead, with a dark brown eye. On the right, a profile of the right side of her face, with a very dirty gray muzzle nearly matching her gray forehead. Both profiles looking down and away from the camera. In the middle, she looks straight up at the camera, her face divided cleanly down the ridge of her forehead and muzzle, dirty gray on the right (her left), in contrast to her bright blue eye, and clean white on the left (her right) in contrast to her dark brown eye.
