Yes Dune, a major motion picture and tv series franchise is disappearing. 🙄

Those problems won’t be solved with LLMs or AI generated art. There are practical uses for AI, but none of them applicable or needed for this conference.

Someone said this to me last week and I truly thought it was just that person’s nonsense. Unbelievable it’s a conservative talking point.

Every time I ask a LLM chatbot to explain something I am an expert at, it makes mistakes. But it sounds authoritative. When I ask it about things I am not an expert in, it sounds authoritative. And I can't always spot mistakes. If I don't care about accuracy?

Great news on #MesozoicArtII relevant to buyers in the USA -- I'm reliably informed that you can order direct from Bloomsbury's US site, and that the book qualifies for free shipping. I can't test that from here (as in the UK), but I hope it works out :) @sharkbitesteve.bsky.social

In 2010, a scientist argued that 2.1 billion-year-old African specimens showed complex life appearing 500 million years ahead of schedule. His critics say they are — literally — fool's gold. At stake? The question of when and how complex life arose at all. My cover story (!) for @sciam.bsky.social!

Controversial evidence hints that complex life might have emerged hundreds of millions of years earlier than previously thought—and possibly more than once

In this context I stand by my use of the word. The conversation of how to change both policy and public opinion is essential, but beyond the scope of whether to add “political” to this currently in vogue statement about violence.

BirdCat @cgregplet.bsky.social · 10/09/2025
Finally and thank you. Everyone has been posting “political violence”, there should be no place for any type of violence.

As a bank teller in the early 2000’s, I would have approved any of the first 4 as being extremely consistent. For for a large check I would have gotten supervisor approval on those bottom two. But the one in question, I would have bet $10k comfortably was his.

Love is real in a way that hate and division can never be. Standing with someone is real. Ministering to them, in word and presence and humble service, is real. Trump's vanity and authoritarianism? Delusions like chaff in the wind, as Psalm 1 has it.

This is real? It 100% reads as satire, an official .gov website that says Trump is the biggest brand in the world and bigger than Nixon.

Do they think a $10-20 price tag for the government to run this is a deterrent? It costs 10 times as much to use software and even more to use a brick and mortar shop.

As usual, this stuff isn’t even remotely accurate. Approximately half a million people took the Oregon trail. *14 million* people immigrated to the US just between 1900 and 1920 alone. Most of our ancestors were immigrants, not settlers.

Their real human partner holds them accountable for real life things, like chores and shared income and emotional intimacy. The AI chatbot doesn’t need any of that.
