Haven't done one of these in a while. I know a specific person who revives old cars. Super kind, super cool. They inspired this. #anima #localgen #aiart #solargenerated

A human girl with rat features, like tail and ears, stands before the viewer from below. A bubble is being blown from her lips of pink gum. Her head is turned but she is looking directly at the viewer with her jitome pink eyes (jitome: When the top of the eye is drawn with a flat line. Used to effect listlessness, apathy, or a bored, expressionless, scornful, or smug face.). A large wrench is in her hand held atop her shoulder. Her other hand is on her hip, her hips rolling to the side. Her long black hair with pink highlights blows gently in the wind. She's wearing a white crop top over her chest with the text "Drive Until They Die" on it, her jean pants faded, stained and ripped from use.

In the background is a Cadillac DTS facing the viewer, its hood up and 4.6 L Northstar LD8 V8 engine on display.

ArXiv announces a ban on AI content and the responses are hilarious. > You expect us to actually read the papers we cite?! yes, lol! www.404media.co/new-arxiv-rules-ai-…

Screenshot from Thomas Dietterich on X:
"Attention @arxiv authors: Our Code of Conduct states that by signing your name as an author of a paper, each author takes full responsibility for all its contents, irrespective of how the contents were generated."

With a reply from James Miller:
"So this means you expect every author to check every citation and make sure that every citation is real and accurate? What if it's beyond the ability of one of the authors to verify one of the citations because that citation is in a language he doesn't know or concerns technical material he doesn't understand but another author on the paper does?"

It’s been nearly 24 hours since the last of the snow from Winter #Storm #Fern left #Providence, and this is the current situation at Kennedy Plaza, the main #transit hub of #RI. Why does nobody take the #bus? Maybe because they fucking can’t get there to begin with.
