OK, the Zebra has officially gone AI crazy. Instead of getting a promo pic from one of the many, many theaters out there, they are using an AI generated image of a couple on a stage. 😤

One great way to make sure that this awesome project is not “out of character with the architecture of the neighborhood ” is to build more density so it doesn’t stand out anymore.

It is no coincidence that rationalists and EAs tend to be straight white guys from well-off families, because for everybody else, the world usually conspires to knock some sense into you about your inherent god-emperor genius by the time you’re old enough to drink.

Just an FYI: there is no such thing as machine crochet. No machine or robot can do it. It is a uniquely human craft that can't be reproduced with AI. Grab a hook and some yarn, y'all.

I am debating whether it is once again actual pants season or not. I want to hold out against it, but it is both cool *and* rainy outside, which makes it much harder for me to hold out against pants.

Oh, you're experiencing a structural problem? Have you ever considered trying different personal choices instead?

Saving local Newspapers is one of the most important projects of guarding democracy. They do more than anything to enable community action, & they help hold corporations & landlords to account and expose and correct the small local exploitations that cause so much suffering and drain so many lives.

The Alex Times updated their picture of Bill Rosello. It is even worse than the last one and gives the impression he is sneering at his audience. Not a good look on anyone.

A question for our intrepid reporters: what's the City policy on the ALPR data collected by Parking Enforcement? Not that I suspect anything nefarious, but it is information that gets collected on a regular basis.
