the dots and lines in cave paintings seem consistent with tetrapod language it could have been humans' original language www.sci.news/archaeology/...

Archaeologists Uncover Upper Paleolithic Proto-Writing System | Sci.News
In at least 400 European caves, Upper Paleolithic humans drew, painted and engraved non-figurative signs from at least 42,000 years ago and figurative images from at least 37,000 years ago.

It’s very frightening that Nick and CN are there. How many non tradition families will be cut from paw patrol? Will dc comics kill their queer characters off? Will Ivy and Harley be forced to split forever? It makes me legit anxious to wonder how hostile Ellison will be to vulnerable people

I mean I feel like I gotta say society is fucking up lol. Its critical we decentre colonial practices of racism, childism, ageism, ableism, misognygy, transphobia, etc... We as a society need to devalue whiteness, able bodiness, white cis men specifically..

The behaviour of these systems, such as their outputs, may well be CONSISTENT with these systems having the capacity of e.g. addition. But the logical form we deploy cannot be that because something correlated with our assumptions that our assumptions are (formally) correct.

Exciting news from the Center for Institutional Courage! They launched a DARVO database, which tracks peer-reviewed academic studies about the concept. DARVO is an acronym that describes the way perpetrators respond to confrontations about their violence: Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender.

One of the most upsetting things for people trained in formal computational theory, who are not AI boosters, to witness is how claims about the outputs of systems with no formal specification are taken as if they are indicative of formally linked capacities, such as the ability to add; see thread:

There are millions and millions of people in the US with long covid, and it will continue to be that many or larger as the damage from repeat infections continues to rack up. While I appreciate the sentiment here, minimizing is minimizing and has to be called out. “Unlucky few” is absurd.

Suburban Dawn (2026)
ink, paint marker on paper

silhouetted artwork of a suburban dawn colored with varying shades of blue pen, and paint of orange, yellow, and blue.a photo of a painting of a cow in the blue vacuum of space trying to jump over the moon, but the moon is now oblong and resembles a face with jagged edges and swirling pits of nothingness. the cow exclaims "mooooy leg!!…" as it spins out of control toward a flaring sun, stars and blurry planets visible in the distance elsewhere in the shot.book page that reads:

March 6 2020
working:from home
it's nice out today

a friday in the top right corner denotes the day of the week like a journal entry

the rest of the page explodes into a flurry of black, red, and blue ink, combining to form clouds, smoke, rivers, grass, lava, not really sure which, with various faces of human and animal origin and cartoon style emerge from the noise on the page. mid-page, a sketched snail reaches out up a grassy hill toward a cube  of uncertain spacial fabric, while standing on a decorative ledge next to a cherry blossom tree. below, an anthropomorphic animal face speckled blue with red eyes appears to be having a nose bleed draining upward into a thought or speech bubble of theirs depicted a gnar wave. it becomes filled with teal ocean water and red blood.Gaze (2020)
Ink, Paper

a face constructed of paper, with features inked, featuring two wide eyes with red pupils gazing at you from densely scribbled circles of red, blue, and black ink. the paper is torn and propped up to produce a 3D quality to the inked image, a shadow of the tear being cast onto the background below the face.

The value of a given outcome is implicitly tied to the process that produced it. The point of completing a university assignment isn't solely to get a good grade; it's to show you've acquired the knowledge that the good grade represents. If you use AI to write the assignment, it's meaningless.

As pathetic as this is, it's also the perfect example of how AI - both the tool and the industry - is the self-defeating apex of prioritizing outcome over process. A fantasy team exists solely for fun; to outsource your participation is to remove the singular thing that made it meaningful.

exploiting a logic flaw is detected by business systems measurement reporting over time and completely bypasses all cybersecurity tooling. For instance, the hiring of a North Korean employee who then exfiltrates intellectual property is a kind of business logic flaw exploiting weaknesses of hiring
