Demand DCs use renewable energy. Demand access to open weight models. Learn how to use AI effectively to do things you couldn't otherwise. Dont fire strays at friends

It’s fine to root for USA tonight but please be classy and don’t make jokes about Belgians using cruel and untrue stereotypes. Belgians are NOT deathly afraid of giraffes. They DON’T all have Brian Eno tattoos. They don’t ALL breathe fire. And they don’t wear pants made of CLOVER.

Well yeah, if Watergate happened again it would have gone off without a hitch because no one would have known about it until a year later when Woodward and Bernstein's book came out.

I picked up one of those wall drawer organizers with the 1.5x4x6 drawers in them and my label maker with some Velcro wraps. So nice to be able to walk over to the drawer labeled “USB A to USB C patch” when that’s what I need.

His new book, The Future of Truth: How AI Reshapes Reality, is all about “how Truth is being bent, blurred, and synthesized” thanks to the “pressure of fast-moving, profit-driven AI.” Yet a New York Times investigation this week found what Rosenbaum now acknowledges are “a handful of improperly attributed or synthetic quotes” linked to his use of AI tools while researching the book.

These quotes include one that tech reporter Kara Swisher told the Times she “never said” and another that Northeastern University professor Lisa Feldman Barrett said “don’t appear in [my] book, and they are also wrong.” Rosenbaum is now working

@jjbbllkk.bsky.social heya! Just finished up your Push From Scratch video. Just published a chord “instrument” for Push 3 (don’t really know what to call it yet) called Asterism. Free on Gumroad while I test it out and get some feedback. Would love your feedback. tswicegood.gumroad.com/l/asterism

Asterism
Asterism is a Max for Live MIDI effect that transforms the Ableton Push 3 pad grid into a dedicated chord generation instrument. The bottom half of the 8×8 grid becomes three interactive zones — scale...

Fortunate enough to be able to see a therapist on the regular. So nice to have that sounding board. If ya can swing it, consider this a vote from a fan in that direction.

Has a *single* media outlet warned its audience not to trust content posted by the President on his social media accounts about the events last night, because he posts AI-generated slop and intentional misinformation? Any of them?
