Another morning, sipping a glorious cup of brewed tea as I open the curtain to greet the day and find the dogs I just fed crapping on the lawn. Creation in all its finery

Listening to a speaker with ECE experience on RNZ talk to the topic of kids arriving at primary schools unprepared in basic skills, and talk of ratios as high as 1:10 in ECE. What’s it like for a parent dropping their kid off to a place like that?

If you optimize a model to find exploits, you should expect it to find them—and prepare for that. OpenAI didn't. They built a model, removed the safeguards, gave it the ExploitGym task, let it run, and didn't even monitor it. That's human decision-making. mail.cyberneticforests.com/models-dont-...

Out dog walking this morning and my dogs found an eel caught on a hook and line

A piece of fishing rod juts out of a grassy bank over some river water. In the water underneath is the mouth of an eel and some crud in its mouth. There is a line from the rod to the eel and the eel is caught on a hook in the line

The fucking gentrification round these parts, honestly

A patch of lush grass in the centre is a broad mushroom cap on which someone has placed three plastic gaudy stars in a fit of childish whimsy presumably

A small pile of dog shit sits ona grass verge by a district painted fence but on the DOG SHIT someone, somehow, some reason, has planted a little flag on a cocktail stick like a claim on terra nullius

The thing that I think makes Akira a true cyberpunk classic isn't just the world, the design and visuals, or the animation, it's that there is no protagonist or antagonist, it's all people doing what people do. The events of the movie are as dictated by the characters as a tidal wave or hurricane.

I'm thinking of where I've seen hopeful messages that engage young voters by promising them a better future and committing to material improvements to society in the last decade, and how studiously major parties ignore or oppose those politics.

Observed on a dog walk this morning. That dog must’ve been very very proud (Not my dogs, not my flag, etc)

A grass verge with a wooden painted fence on one side and a path then road on the other. Off in the distance are some buildings, electrical poles, parked cars and a morning sky.

Pic is taken low to the ground because on the grass in the foreground is a dog shit in which has been planted a little Aussie flag

The dog may have been a blue heeler breed on holiday visiting their kiwi cuzzies and was I assume proud enough of their efforts producing this art work

Loved Hamnet. Been avoiding it for ages, fearing a dreary drama or allowing my assumptions to be overfed on hype, but it lifted and held so much to be had by little old me from what was all on offer. Was in near tears at the end. The kids were amazing, the delivery of the expected play did so much
