An example of the totally unreasonable and draconian limits put on their noble research, such as “must make sure you remember to plug in your actual numbers” and “remove the conversational parts of the prompt response”

“If you ask us to do the bare minimum to insure our citations used to make an argument actually exist, it’s too high a bar for PIs in my field to cross” The bar is on the fuckin ground my guy. Just make it a long bluecheck post on Twitter and engagement farm that way if you’re too pressed.

Looks like pop-ups for lunch...wonder if it's because the SF mall nearby hasn't been doing great lately so maybe food court isn't reliable? Open to all in a fenced in area is indeed a headscratcher...I suppose we will see. 11-2pm matches these events in the schedule I guess bsky.app/profile/comi...

I am squinting skeptically at this...if you need a pass to get into this area in Yerba Buena Gardens during GDC there will be an outcry I don't think Informa has reckoned with. But if it's "now there's tents and the stage is now spoken for so emergent performances can't happen but idk cool music"...
Please note: Yerba Buena Gardens remains open to the public! Each year, GDC secures this space from the City of San Francisco specifically to keep it accessible, preventing outside groups from taking it over or restricting access. A portion will be reserved for Game Changer Pass holders during lunch simply to provide a consistent place to gather, while the majority of the Gardens stays available for everyone.

Fun update: We will now be providing music at the Yerba Buena Gardens stage during lunch hours which can be enjoyed by everyone!

I don’t know what’s worse, having to provide a government ID to a company that can’t protect that data because they aren’t snooping enough data on me to infer demographics, or not needing to because they’re already spying on me enough they don’t need it.

Positive: wow California has a new website where you can register to have data brokers remove your information from them! Reality: ...as long as they're registered with CA! And their blazor implementation doesn't puke out on you like it did with me. And you don't mind waiting until some time Aug-Nov

Nice! Looking forward to reading a deep dive on a tough design space many designers engage with.

I don't know how, but somehow I managed to get into a pick-up session and took control of a robot in Beijing in a boxing match. I got to knock out my opponent. This may be the most Bay Area Friday night activity I've ever done.

A lifeless alien planet orbiting a G-type dwarf. We land, set up camp to survey. On the fifth day Ellison finds what he swears is fiber optic cable and patches us in. Ecstatic machine hosannas without end. Our ship computer short-circuits in joy, stranding us as the seething planet comes alive.
Claude shows a striking “spiritual bliss” attractor state in self-interactions. When conversing with other Claude instances in both open-ended and structured environments, Claude gravitated to profuse gratitude and increasingly abstract and joyous spiritual or meditative expressions.

Well this should be interesting...I've got about 16 large pots of bamboo I've been propagating since around 2014, and soon it will be time to say goodbye. Black bamboo lives 40-120 years...it dies after flowering and goes through a "mass flowering" event where all clones off the rhizome synchronize.

This is an incredible, insightful piece of writing around labor in academia.

If anyone knows of a predatory publisher that puts a clause in their author contracts giving them the option to complete the contracted work using AI in the event of the author’s death please let me know I love to watch my dystopias come to life

Every time I hear about new simulated chatbots of dead authors I remember this page from Ice-Bound…if you’d asked me ten years ago if I thought we’d be here in ten years I’d have laughed, then cried.

Reading about UFOs in the 1800s and it’s so interesting how some things never change (still waiting for more lk-99 developments to sate my need for scientific entertainment)
