I’m on a committee for a student doing (old fashioned) multi-objective evolutionary algorithms, and it got me thinking, LLMs are that, but with some very large number of objectives, regardless of your prompt. Humans are the same, but we have some idea what the objectives are in most cases.

The US Web Design System is load-bearing infrastructure for thousands of government websites. It makes it easy for small teams with no resources (i.e. most .gov teams) to make usable, accessible websites that work for everyone. Today, it's as close as it's ever been to being replaced with AI slop.

I entered a contest at my university where grad students have 60 seconds to explain their research in a video. I got disqualified for not getting copyright permission for the old drum corps footage but whatever. Thanks @tubapeter.bsky.social for your contribution to my little soundtrack.
