if the US government logs these trees at the rate / quantity they're proposing, we'll lose one of the last old-growth forests. there's no coming back from that. if you have five minutes to leave a comment pushing back against the BLM, please do; there's a guide to that below.

Really awesome article about AI and education. I love the discussion around decoupling the feeling of learning vs actually learning, and how discomfort is often required for learning but understandably avoided when given the opportunity with AI.

I tried (and failed) to get Katamari Damacy creator Keita Takahashi to explain his new game, to a T, to me. instead, I had one of the most fun, baffling interviews I've ever done www.wired.com/story/katama...

It’s a game about a teenager who’s stuck as a T-pose and trying to figure out where the T-pose is coming from. It’s a game about—umm. [Long pause] Do I need to explain? [Another long pause] No. [Laughs]

That’s fair. Who is this character? How would you describe them?

A teenager, 13-years-old, female or male, whatever I mean, I don’t care—stuck in a T-pose, for some reason.

What makes T the perfect pose?

Because it’s perfect! You are perfect. I think it’s just perfect.

On the other site, Studio Ghibli-style AI output is going viral and allow me to just say it is profoundly depressing to see that stuff being used to promote OpenAI's latest product. Miyazaki famously called AI-produced art "an insult to life itself"—and this in turn is an insult to him.

Generally we think of alt-text as the domain of those with accessibility needs. However alt-text is useful for many reasons, which benefit your viewers, as well as you, the creator!

An infographic. There are six panels.

1. "Slow internet. Alt text is shown in place of unloaded images." a drawing shows a phone with poor signal, and alt text is visible where the image should have loaded.

2. "Findabillity. Alt text helps to search content." A drawing shows someone searching 'dog with banana' and a post is shown underneath without the words 'dog' or 'banana'. It is implied to be part of the alt text.

3. "Screen readers. Alt is read out to people using text-to-speech software". There is a drawing of the output a screen-reader would show when viewing an image with alt text on bluesky.

4. "Translation. Alt text can be translated". A drawing shows a post being translated. The alt text is also translated into german.

5. "Readability. Text in images can be made legible" There is a drawing of some truly awful handwriting inside a speech bubble. The alt text clarifies what the text is supposed to say.

6. "Disambiguation. Description helps clarify intent." There is a drawing of a post with a picture of a creature. This is styled after the famous optical illusion of a rabbit and a duck. The alt text clarifies that the animal is a rabbit. It definitely looks more like a duck.

In case you need snack suggestions, these rice cracker snacks are awesome. I just wish I didn't have to go hunt down an Asian market any time I want them 😭

An orange bag of rice cracker snacks sits on a wooden table. The only text in English characters is "Kotsubukko" and "since 1982". There is a picture of the snack which looks like golden fried craggy puffs, a bit like popcorn. In the upper right is a cup of honey with a honey dipper, indicating it is made with honey. There are also three cartoon characters whose heads look like the snack. They are wearing yellow, blue, and green party hats, and have squared orange bodies with stick limbs.
