I think I'm going to stop saying genAI and start calling them for what they are: summary chatbots that lie a lot

The “We Are All DC” March is massive. Thousands of people marching down 16th Street NW against the occupation of DC.

I stood under these clouds earlier today
and thought
you need to see this.

A wooden chair. The back is shaped in a way that looks like a tailored jacket is hanging on the back of the chair.

A close up of the chair details showing the wooden buttons and lapels.

A cabinet shaped like a green striped button-up shirt with brown pants.

A close up of the cabinet details showing the shirt buttons, collar, and pant pockets.

Cais YouTube video by Milton Nascimento - Topic

A concert series in Skaneateles inviting Esperanza Spalding drawed us there, which made me dig deeper into her music, which led me to this album with Milton Nascimento. Wow! What a gift

Rethinking the Luddites in the Age of A.I. Brian Merchant’s new book, “Blood in the Machine,” argues that Luddism stood not against technology per se but for the rights of workers in the face of automation.

Today, the word “Luddite” is used as an insult to anyone resistant to technological innovation. But a recent book argues that Luddism stood not against technology per se but for the rights of workers in the face of automation.

Okay, so, as someone with actual cancer who is actually dying, let me ask some of the "SCIENTIST-APPROVED STUFF ONLY!!!" people to pump the brakes a little until they are in my situation.

First of all: not every "unscientific" health practice is harmful.

I’m in a fight with someone on Reddit and never felt more alive

King Crimson reinvented itself each decade though it depends on your definition of relevance because while the 90s era is great it is also very niche

Encourage your children to ask questions, not to accept existing answers.

A photo of the book "The Left Hand of Darkness" by Ursula K. Le Guin. The cover shows two people pulling a sled across ice in one half of a yin and yang symbol, while the other half contains a planet, nebulae and stars.

I finished my next Ursula K. Le Guin book! [Small review below]

I absolutely adored this book. The concept of a medieval-esque modernized civilization (+ a collectivist one alongside it too, on another continent) was so interesting. And ultimately, the book all came down to self-interest and honor.

I realize both that this comes from a position of immense material and historical privilege and that, more regrettably, may be a lib cringe tier post. For that I apologize

Studying history during more "normal" times seemed like a pursuit of individual self-cultivation, a way to satisfy our innate curiosity. During these times it feels more like a moral imperative

Oh Did You Find A Chart What Did The Chart Say Oh Did You Point At The Chart Did The Chart Tell You Something. I love posting here and get lots of traffic and my friends are here and we all have a good time. Line Go Up or Line Go Down this has not changed

babe wake up liberation day 2.0 just dropped

youtube commentary on AI is blowing up and that rules i love it lots of thoughtful discourse, but it frustrates me how much my primary problem with AI companies is never addressed? These are tech companies that would NOT EXIST without metric tonnes of uncompensated labor used without consent.

Welsh artist Gwen John was born today (22 June) in 1876 in Haverfordwest.
She liked painting women & cats—sometimes both together.
This is "Young Woman Holding a Black Cat" (c.1918–22, Tate), one of several versions featuring the same unnamed model.
The cat is also unnamed.

Big Balls: They’re revoking my top secret clearance. This is probably the last time I can visit you

Sasquatch: *sad growl*

More accurately, he constantly brought his child around

5. Yup, loved Sinners as expected. Didn't change my life as the hype led me to believe it would tho. The first half of the movie is slow and methodical and crunchy. The last half is great though slightly less interesting and too fast-paced for my liking. Lots of vampire movies this year! (2/5)

Personal data protections in the US are already ridiculously weak. This news will not get a lot of coverage but this is dire for citizen digital rights. This is not a hypothetical bad future either: companies are abusing people's data today.

a black whippet with white markings around her face is peeking up into the bottom of a photo and pressing her nose close to the camera as she squints at you. there’s a big building and some tall topiaries in the background, out of focus.

jess the whippet is still squinting suspiciously at the camera in the lower left corner of a picture. behind her, there’s some tall grass, and then a wide expanse of water that’s only barely darker than the pale sky above.

jess is outside a huge cathedral and squinting at the camera again. her head narrows down to her delicate snoot, and there’s less white around her eyes than in some of the other pics.

This is Jess. She is very suspicious of you. Has been within six inches of you all week, but still thinks you're up to something. 13/10

"Writing is hard work. A clear sentence is no accident. Very few sentences come out right the first time, or even the third time. Remember this in moments of despair. If you find that writing is hard, it's because it is hard.”
