Volume 2
Cover for Band or Horses, Volume 2Band or Horses? Same as Volume 1

You get a list of names and guess whether they are rock bands or racehorses.

Since this is the Australian Language Edition, they're limited to either horses that have raced in the Melbourne Cup -OR- bands/acts (not all of them ar actually "rock" bands, sorry that's music) that have been on the Triple-J Hot 100

3 rounds, no peeking at the answers, let's go!

Round 1: ZZ Stop. What's with all these Zs. Names are: Sheraz, Meduza, Razkalla, Zipping, Frenzal Rhomb, Torranzino, Zabeelionaire, and Zardozi.
Bonus Game: Ban on (Bands of) Horses.

You are a group of talking (and singing) horses who have decided to form a band and pursue a career in music. Now you've booked a lucrative gig at a swanky bar at the top floor of a skyscraper in the big city. It pays well, and you get the feeling it might lead to more great gigs later.

Unfortunately, when you arrive at the building in the afternoon to get set up, you notice a big poster that says NO HORSES ALLOWED. Apparently rival gangs of horses started a big fight two nights ago at the building, and the building owners have now hired a whole bunch of Security Goons to prevent any horses from entering the building. You will need to reach the top floor of this building without them finding out that you are a HORSE. Choose a Disguise from the list.

As you enter the building and attempt to ascend to the top, a Goon Manager (GM) will pit the Security Goons against you, placing Hurdles in your way to try and uncover your Disguises.Disguises: HR Manager, Uncle, Mechanic, Accountant, Nurse.
HORSE Skills: H is for Hiding. O is for Obstructing. R is for Rocking Out. S is for Sneaking. E is for Ejecting (Kicking Someone or Something Out Of The Nearest Window)

Deeply disturbing police brutality against an anti AI protest in Montreal, Canada a few weeks back. At this point, if you use AI and LLM, save the little white justifications you make to yourself. This is what you align with, like it or not. williamwilsonphotography.substack.com/p/montreal-p...

Floored Motorsport Manager 2 both decided to go for bland photo realism with driver art AND is using AI to make those driver portraits. The initial creative decision was unlikely to result in anything charming, the production decision guaranteed the results would be repulsive.

One of the things that is going to change is that we’re never ever again going to be able to be dominated by public officials who tell us, ‘Trust the experts,’” Mr. Kennedy said during the Tuesday session.

“If somebody tells you, ‘Masks work, trust the experts,’ A.I. may tell you otherwise,” he added. “If somebody tells you, ‘Social distancing works, trust the experts,’ A.I. may correct that. And if somebody tells you that a vaccine will prevent transmission and infection, or you need to take it to protect your grandmother, A.I. may say it actually doesn’t do that.”

This is how journalism that picks up a narrative from govt sources and other media end up misrepresenting reality to readers. This says charges are for “protests against the death penalty” which, w/o context, paints a diff picture from what actually happened. www.independent.co.uk/asia/southea...

The “protest against the death penalty” that Neo Swee Lin and Lim Kay Siu (and others, including myself) have been charged for was this: we went to court to support a friend who’d been charged. Afterwards, we stood outside the courthouse and someone snapped some photos. Then we left. That’s it.

the brand safety panopticon has come to twitch
Streamers, wary of both AI and YouTube’s infuriatingly un-transparent hall of mirrors, are not enthused about this new development.

“Ohhh so that’s why ad revenue dropped,” longtime streamer JP "itmeJP" McDaniel said on Twitter.  

“I’m genuinely worried that the sheer fact that I’m a lesbian will cause the AI to remove ads,” said Vtuber LuminusRed. “In the past I’ve tested it and confirmed that I get less ad money if I had queer-related tags on my stream like ‘lesbian,’ so I am worried this dumb AI monitoring will mean I no longer get money from ads on Twitch.”

Reading an article about AI agents and just struck by how much this technology is made by, made for, used by, is foundationally based on the assumptions of "manager brain" or "owners". You never do things, you have others do things for you, which now counts as yours. Delusional way to see the world.

The government moving or hiding jailed people to avoid review by courts isn't some loophole in our habeas corpus rights. This government behavior has been considered a violation of the people's habeas corpus rights since at least the Habeas Corpus Act of 1679. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Habeas_...
Jailors were forbidden to move prisoners from one prison to another or out of the country to evade the writ. In case of disobedience jailers would be punished with severe fines which had to be paid to the prisoner.[5][6]
