I just heard a track (Gana) by Dystinct while listening to a DJ on YT and I could have SWORN I was listening to something new by Khaled. Looked it up & I see that he has viral covers of Aïcha so I must not be the only one that hears a resemblance. I gotta see if there are any performances together.

“…disabled people are actually less likely to drive than nondisabled people and more likely to get around by walking and rolling and taking transit. Car-heavy cities are also disproportionately dangerous for disabled folks…”— @nondriver.bsky.social Don’t use accessibility “as a political football.”

read this and had a full epiphany that ai has simply trained all these idiots to give it easy prompts.

I was trying to win over a friend who was skeptical of AI image generation and every prompt they asked me to try wasn't really feasible one shot: (1) an empty frame with MySpace/Y2K aesthetics (functional negative space is hard) in; (2) a step by step guide on how to cook pasta (requires sequential content); (3) Persian calligraphy saying Pizza (words are hard enough, let alone stylised).

Cursed requests, but kind of shows how a non-techie would approach this stuff when models aren't really optimised for this out of the box. Many techies aren't particularly good at prompting, but they still have a much better feel for what works/doesn't than your average consumer. I think these intuitions will come with time, but also better products will be built making these edge cases more and more rare.

Related: I rarely run into hallucinations with LLMs these days, but that’s partly because I’ve implicitly learned what (not) to ask them. It’s just part of the skillset, like knowing that web search won’t help with “where did I put my glasses?” or “why is my aunt mad at me.”

Watching a video by a post-doctoral researcher about "how to do deep research" and I'm SO excited that their process is SO similar to the one I fell into on my own. ...and now I have like... 8 different topics I'm researching for funsies because I have always enjoyed research so dang much.

Lot of folks making jokes about the "War on Fraud" but this is even more terrifying for the poorest and most vulnerable folks in this country than last year's cruel and horrifying budget bill was. And if you think it's been hard to meet folks' needs in the last year, it is not going to get easier.

🚨🚨 There are two takes on this: 1) This would, if it happens, would be a major step in the history of European integration, 2) It also underscores the massive own goal of #brexit which apart from an economic suicide seems even worse now in the current geopolitical situation with #trump in rein.

Marimar Martinez was the first US citizen shot by ICE. They claimed she was a terrorist. Said she was brandishing a weapon. They lied. Video footage exonerated her and showed the ICE agent shot her five times. He bragged to other agents “five shots, 7 holes”. A 🧵 of ICE abuse

If you can't afford it, that's completely valid. But stop complaining about what people are asking for their work when you know nothing about their costs, their expertise, or their reasons. Leave a genuine compliment if you appreciate it, or just keep scrolling. It's that simple. #MagicalBazaar

Wherever you live, this story has significant implications because the trend of defunding libraries, when we should be fortifying these outposts of learning, sharing, and survival, is a national phenomenon. Libraries are models of the kind of infrastructure we must EXPAND to get the world we want.

You Can’t Fight Fascism While Defunding Libraries

“Libraries embody everything that we need right now to fight back against fascism," says Sara Heymann.
