Shiny.

Lmao. I saw it and I immediately know it was the St. Augustine lighthouse. St. Augustine is the only thing I miss about Florida.

I think at that point it’s just called a net.

Full. Full resolution. That’s the only option. And for fuck’s sake, let’s get apple on board with images and video, too.

As someone who loves hot sauce and smokes menthols, I’m dubious. Maybe my hot sauce is too hot, but it will completely negate the menthol. I haven’t tried it with Altoids or anything, but I don’t know…

Tuesday is going to be fucking ugly. Wednesday is going to be worse.

I’m still waiting…

Link will stab Chase with something, and then all of the workplace complaints will surface.

The British philosopher R G Collingwood noticed that the painter doesn’t invent painting, and the musician doesn’t invent the musical culture in which they find themselves. And for Collingwood this served to show that no person is fully autonomous, a God-like fount of creativity; we are always to some degree recyclers and samplers and, at our best, participants in something larger than ourselves.

But this should not be taken to show that we become what we are (painters, musicians, speakers) by doing what, for example, LLMs do – ie, merely by getting trained up on large data sets. Humans aren’t trained up. We have experience. We learn.

This is what happens when people try to apply philosophy to science. They get romantic and egotistical. “Oh, humanity, will your wondrous powers of learning ever be duplicated? Not by brutish machines, I daresay. They only do what they are told and learn what is given to them.”

Ohhhh boy. Don’t fuck with the space program.

If I go to a concert and the headliner is over an hour late, I’m leaving. No fucking way I’d wait 3 hours for some tangerine colored ape to throw feces at me.

You’re dead on. Science is a process. I can science the shit out of baking soda and vinegar to make a volcano, and I don’t need government funding to do it. What you science is effected by capitalism, but capitalism is just a scare word. No matter what you want to do, if it requires a significant amount of power or work to create your materials, a cost is accrued somewhere, and someone has to pay it, whether it costs dollars or beaver pelts.

The revolution will not be televised, but the brainrot will be retweeted, liked, and followed.

Jews for Hitler ask Hitler to rethink concentration camp idea.

And a modern calculator has more computer power than the Apollo program… This is how tech works.

“Goddamnit, why won’t she fart? We both ate the same Mexican food…I know she’s feeling it… Just let it go!”

The lute she told you not to worry about…

Yeah, but imagine owning something.

I’m not sure I understand your argument. Are you saying that because AI can blend together the works of hundreds and create something unique, that it is bad?

You’ve got nothing.

That’s a matter of perspective.
