Look at the director of that Deadpool movie, going into despair over the brilliance of 15 seconds worth of utter dogshit pretending to be a fight scene. Using genAI also destroys your aesthetic sense. You stop being able to notice that you're looking at dogshit.

Hate this timeline with AI slop in search results. If I wanted AI slop on a topic I'd ask Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini.

IMHO, there's notable quality + tone difference between a AI gen project that does a bunch of things and has a "hacker" aesthetic UI, and a project where someone used LLM as a tool to improve their understanding and build something for exploration and learning.

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series
You can’t without supporting Rowling’s transphobic bigotry.

Laura Loomer is taking credit for Milo Yiannopoulos being detained by ICE
Laura Loomer:

BREAKING:

Illegal alien Milo Yiannopoulos has been detained by ICE. 

I was the first person to report on the fact that Milo was in the US illegally where he incited violence against President Trump and worked for Marjorie Traitor Greene. 

Recently, Candace Owens invited this illegal alien into her home. 

When Milo called for me to be assassinated, I reported him to ICE and the FBI. 

I told you all that Milo was an illegal alien.

He was detained in Louisiana by @ICEgov
.

Milo is going to be deported back to the UK where he can live among the Muslims he has recently chosen to embrace. 

Today is a great day for America.

🤔That should be the test for an awful restaurant. If I can kill your restaurant just by parking a taco truck near it? Then your restaurant wasn't going to make it anyway.🤷🏿‍♂️ Restaurants thrive being right next door to other restaurants and bars! This is called an entertainment district. Good actually

Again and again, Bass went after Raman in the pettiest, most personal ways. She kept mocking her as a supposed egghead with no real-life governing experience.

Things wanted to share after going to South Pas farmers market. 1) sweet corn 🌽 leaves are great to cover up soil in your veggie garden at home, so shuck your own corn! 2) carrot 🥕 greens are edible - cook them!

One of the very first things a person loses by outsourcing their learning to genAI, is being able to perceive it as a suicidally bad idea.

The purpose of studying anything isn't the subject itself but to learn how to *think* like an expert about it. People outsourcing their thinking to genAI are not learning how to think, at all. Part of the cognitive atrophy that genAI immediately induces is no longer being able to understand this

I read Upton Sinclair’s “The Jungle” which led to the creation of the FDA. Never thought I’d live through a time where food safety agencies were actively weakened. They want to privatize everything including food safety.

I wonder if all the odor smells are also driving the coyotes crazy looking for carcass. It's already been an issue with more coyotes around Alhambra, and earlier today saw an alert (citizen app) about a woman being chased by coyotes not that far away.

Being oldest adult child of low income working class immigrant parents is helping them regulate their fears, worry, and anxiety - all for their adult children - that come from raising a family with decades of survivor mode + no safety net in a capitalist society.

#DeepDishSwift was an amazing experience. Due to my very busy work schedule, for so many years I just felt I didn't have time to or could get the time to go to conferences like this. Refreshing + energizing to be around smart & talented folks all learning + relating on all sorts of interests.

Launch in 2020 becomes 2022, then 2024, and finally 2026, and we knew that these devices would be obsolete by the time we flew. But we already had them in hand. They were already tested. Software already developed for that platform. You make the decision that it’s good enough.

The other challenge for modern devices and software is that everything is looking for an internet connection. While the ISS sits in low Earth Orbit and we were able to setup a viable internet connection, Orion will be on the deep space network, which has bandwidth limitations.
