@maxbarry.com Max, perhaps you ignore this account, so forgive me. I am listening to Discordia and I need to know - is the first line about Diego digging a hole a reference to The Castle or have I just projected this onto the text? (Slash audio)

Recently in Chicago I met a man in a bar. My friends and I have dubbed him “Budget Nick Miller”. That’s all I’m going to say.

Whitlam photo of the day: all best friends need the tall grumpy one and the small happy one (Willow is also very happy but just doesn’t look it in this photo)
Two dogs sit next to each other on a couch. The one on the left is a large cross bread dog and is looking seriously at the camera, and the one on the right is a corgi and smiling at the camera.

Whitlam the Corgi photo of the day—being a pirate after his bath
A corgi stands on carpet, with a towel draped over him. His ears can’t be seen, only one eye, his snoot and his mouth are visible. He is smiling.

Very apt that this was the first message sent using networked electronic devices
1844: First publicly funded telegraph line in the world—between Baltimore and Washington—sends demonstration message on 24 May, ushering in the age of the telegraph. This message read "What hath God wrought?" (Bible, Numbers 23:23)

Whitlam the corgi (throwback) photo of the day—three years ago when I tried to dress him up as a lion and he was not impressed
A corgi lays on a round blue dog bed, with a costume around his head that looks like a lion’s mane. He is looking sad and slightly like he is having an existential crisis.Zoomed in photo of a corgi laying on a round blue dog bed, with a costume around his head that looks like a lion’s mane.

Whitlam the Corgi photo of the day—being spoilt and getting to have some custard (which he is obsessed with)
A close up photo of a tan and white corgi. An almost empty custard container is being held up and he is enthusiastically licking the remnants out of it. He has custard on his snout and is very focused.

Whitlam the Corgi photo of the day— enjoying his walk and all the puddles created by London’s winter rains
Whitlam, a tan and white corgi, walks through a giant puddle. His tail is up and wagging, he is smiling, and the puddle is so deep you cannot see his little legs.

If you train a LLM on text that includes texts written by LLMs, it gets weird. If you train a LLM on texts that include texts written by LLMs that were trained on LLMs, it gets even weirder. After a few iterations, it goes foom.

The reason this is happening all over the place, btw, is that large pre-2023 corpora of text written by actual humans is the low-background steel (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-bac... ) of LLMs right now -- if LLMs continue to exist in another 5, 10 years, they will be forever frozen in 2023.

(1/) One thing I wish more people knew about the Belgian genocide of the Congo is how one woman who heard something incredible at a dinner party and took it seriously was singlehandedly more responsible for ending a genocide than anyone else I can name in history. Meet Alice Seeley Harris.

not sure whether it's intentional or not (article is behind paywall) but this artwork is pretty ridiculous when you're aware of the fact that all 3 of these actors have vocally denounced JKR's unapologetic transphobia...
