I once heard about what has to be the funniest sports article ever: When Hank Aaron hit his record-breaking 715th home run, one Atlanta reporter was instructed to run to the restroom, wait for someone to walk out and then interview them about missing history because they were taking a piss

I'm so used to bar bathrooms with cutesy signs that I had to stop here and ask myself if I was a Mario or a Wario

a sign with an M on it that is definitely Mario adjacent

an upside down m, also known as a "wario symbol"

It's all fun and games until … "Professor Gina Neff of Queen Mary University London told the BBC #ChatGPT is "burning through energy", and the data centres used to power it consume more electricity in a year than 117 countries." www.bbc.com/news/article...

Was just thinking back on what a blast NFC was. I hope we get to meet again some day, Vital! 💕

I am not a football person at all but “maniacal jokester bird god” is a hell of a phrase, is it all bad luck for them or an incomprehensible mixture of both?

I think we should design bear-safe trash cans that make you do the Macarena before you can open the can. That way even if the bears succeed we get great footage of bears doing the Macarena.

My cartoon for Guardian Books’ autumn reading special.

A beautiful, smiling pile of new books labelled "New Books for Autumn" innocently attracts the attentions of a young man. Beside him, his pile of books (labelled "Unfinished Summer Reading") notices this and scowls at him.

The image is a cartoon pastiche of the ‘distracted boyfriend’ meme.

I grew up in Georgia and did the same thing you did. It’s interesting how the internet context changes the perceived meaning.

Your hearing aid isn’t suddenly “AI powered,” it’s just that some asshole in marketing found out that folks have been legitimately using ML in the technology for decades and decided to rebrand. This shit is TRULY snake oil. A goddamned empty signifier.

Something that’s come up in my research is that there are a whole bunch of forms of assistive technology that have used machine learning for decades and hqve decided to pivot to calling the shit “AI” within the past few years.

My partner, screaming, tears streaming down face: we can’t fit any more books in this apartment. They’ve taken over the dining table. You haven’t even read most of these! Me, at a stoop looking at a free book about narratives of mental illness in early modern Europe: hmm, interesting…

And if it exists in a physical format, you should ask your local library to purchase a copy of it if they don’t already have one!

as ever, if you're enjoying a book or a comic, please tell everyone you know to read it bc sharing their work and getting others to pick it up is the best way to make sure those creators keep working

I just don't understand why we need to spend hundreds of billions, steal decades of creative output, and wreck the environment all to build a machine that confidently gives the wrong answer to almost any question when mediocre men already exist.

Using generative tools to do little art challenges like Nanowrimo or inktober or whatever is like dowloading one of those apps that are supposed to help you work up to doing 100 pushups and lying to it about how many pushups you’re doing. The point is just to motivate you to do the work

NaNoWriMo proudly undermining the one core principle that NaNo absolutely got right: you have to write lots and lots and lots of junk to gain the skills to be a novelist. Telling a robot to do it for you means your skill level will stay at zero forever. There is no shortcut for anyone.
