Omigod, this is the most heartwarming story possible! Backpack (bear 89) is the son of the 2019 winner of Fat Bear Week, Holly (bear 435). In 2007, he injured his foot & a practice of riding on momma's Holly's back had a new meaning: he was mobility-restricted while it healed. So Holly moved him.
From DISCVR blog's Facebook page, a momma bear & a yearling cub on her back in the shallow water.  I think the background has been swapped out, and I can't rule out some AI use there?  God, Facebook has become the social media for AI slop : (

The title of the article, which I link below, is "How Bear 89 earned the name Backpack"

If you claim to have never heard Crazy Frog’s “Axel F,” it says more about you than it does Mr. Frog. This about virtue signaling that you are better than entire genres of music, that your friends are not in the custom ringtone game.

transness is a gift. i need every trans woman to understand that by nature of their existence they have been blessed with the ability to pluck the strands of fate with their hands if they choose to. it is not always easy and it is not without hardship but every trans woman is capable of greatness.

This serves as advertisement for Alex Gibney’s documentary, Musk, opening October 9. Pass it on.

The Major Social Media Platforms Are All Rejecting Paid Ads for Alex Gibney’s ‘Musk’ (Exclusive)
YouTube, TikTok and Meta have all turned down the trailer for the Oct. 9 doc, citing “political” content. X won't even take Bleecker Street's calls. The distributor is appealing.

What is the weakest part of a mech? The pilot.
An illustration in red, stylized to look like a heatmap. The vague shape of Alfredo (the chef) is visible in dull red, the shape of Remy (the rat) is visible inside his hat in bright red. A stark white line pierces straight through Remy's heart, suggesting a sniper's bullet.

If anti-trans Republicans win, everyone is more miserable and less safe. If anti-trans Democrats win, cishet people are less miserable and more safe; queer & trans people are only SLIGHTLY more miserable and less safe; and the whole Democratic party becomes structurally more anti-trans.

Btw, even among pro AI friends, this concern is ALL OVER THE PLACE. Devs wondering how we get senior devs if the ecosystem for junior devs goes away. Doctors talking about not needing interns. Lawyers not needing paralegals. There's an ecological aspect to this and we need a plan.

This this THIS RIGHT HERE
The worst case scenario isn’t “AI goes rogue and makes disastrous mistakes,” but a bunch of people at at AI startup over-promising what their systems can do, get handed access to critical systems, write sloppy prompts, code, and configurations, trigger a disaster, then trying to dodge responsibility by screaming about the Singularity and AGI, and flooding technically illiterate regulators with a massive tsunami of technobabble.

If the implication here is correct, nobody should use OpenAI models for anything that might compete with them. Even if it's not, it's still clear that OpenAI has behaved in a really shitty way.

I can get helpful, usable, work out of these models. It requires *significant* expertise to determine which outputs are useful and which are false, fabricated, or biased as fuck. Unless you have quite a lot of expertise, it's simply not possible to determine what's usable and what's shit. 🧵

another LLM speech tic to look out for: inanimate subject active voice. An entity which would conventionally be treated as an object, result, or thing acted upon gets promoted to grammatical subject and is given a verb that makes it sound as though it conducts the process itself
