Well, I can’t seem to reach Bluesky. This happens. I wonder what data center they’re sitting on a server in…

[Whining About Generative AI] Midjourney is starting to get “normal” in terms of its outputs. This definitely falls into the Uncanny Valley territory.

Image features two young women standing side by side outdoors. One has blue hair and is wearing a blue tank top, while the other has dark hair with purple highlights and is wearing a red tank top. Both are wearing glasses and have confident expressions.

Gee, how many TTRPG podcasts have I listened to this year?

This is an interesting new feature of @overcastfm and I initially was surprised that I listed to that many hours of Dragon Friends. Then again, I do quite a lot of commuting. I’ve been running out of backlog for them.

A graphic showing top podcasts for 2024, featuring four podcast covers: "Dragon Friends," "No Latency," "Tales from Trantor," and “Save the D8” with total listening hours listed. The total listening time is 1,228 hours.

Well, the @glennf book, How Comics Were Made, has finally arrived. This is a good addition to the personal library.

A softcover book titled "How Comics Were Made" by Glenn Fleishman, featuring a collage of comic art and a black-and-white photograph of an artist drawing. The cover includes illustrations and text elements related to comic creation. The book is displayed in its box.

Many Americans are wholeheartedly saying yes. That’s a horrifying thing.

It is getting harder to tell that these generative AI outputs aren’t real

I'm starting to get worried about the realism of these image generators. Can I blame students for having difficulty separating fantasy and reality? It is starting to look a little too good.

Yes, I was mowing today. There are some GPS discrepancies but I walked 1.16 miles just mowing around my little house with its detached garage.

Building on searching by @lauren I can say that we’ve got some real confidence-destroyers with AI right now. If AI is the big future that all these companies are betting everything on then perhaps it is time to start shorting stocks. This can’t go on like this.
