Actual hail swaths per MRMS MESH >= .75", colored by measured hail size. I'm not sure when the world will be ready for this kind of data but it sure is sweet

I refuse to use any generative AI shite and cannot stand the idea of the likes of Alexa, Google Home, or even a ring doorbell.

In more positive ludditisms, I recently bought a whetstone to learn to properly sharpen my own knives and axes #apocalypseskills

omg, I found this recipe that showed a chicken with really crispy skin but the recipe called for it to be doused in broth while it was cooking and I was like "that won't work??" and then I saw this

The use of AI to marionette a woman whose tortured existence was spent trying to carve her own life and identity out of the space men forced her into is both damningly macabre and a surprisingly perfect encapsulation of the problems with this ghoulish use of technology.

Feels like a stain that you can’t wash off. Nasty.

We should be able to differentiate between statistical models and LLMs.

Double Grrr at not being able to be relentless negative about it.

Being a woman on the internet, exhibit 739628949:

TLDR: “Consider letting someone more adult be the voice of your movement, you sound like a ditsy socialist liberal”
A man telling me to consider having someone else as the voice of my movement. A man telling me my voice sounds like a ditsy socialist liberal (“and I honestly don’t mean to insult you”) and I should let someone who is a real adult step in.

OpenAI’s strategy is very clear, it’s trying to get people - especially young people - so reliant on its products intellectually & emotionally (& now sexually!) that going without them becomes unthinkable. And they need signs of that strategy working to keep the funding flowing in

Congress critters and their enablers seem giddy about the prospect of a protracted shutdown. We won’t forget.

Day 14 of President’s shutdown. Literally millions of people aren’t getting paid, won’t get paid. It’s barely in the news. What is happening?

The casual ableism is so gross.

There is not a single person on this planet without "mental health" problems. Like all disabilities, it's just a part of human existence. Sometimes we have more or less.

To restrict interactions based on a perceived mental health "issue" is gonna go bad quickly.

Oh good, ChatGPT is getting "erotica for verified adults" later this year
We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right.

Now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues and have new tools, we are going to be able to safely relax the restrictions in most cases.

In a few weeks, we plan to put out a new version of ChatGPT that allows people to have a personality that behaves more like what people liked about 4o (we hope it will be better!). If you want your ChatGPT to respond in a very human-like way, or use a ton of emoji, or act like a friend, ChatGPT should do it (but only if you want it, not because we are usage-maxxing).

In December, as we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our “treat adult users like adults” principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults.

Hearing someone say that families with autistic members deserve support literally makes me cry.

That’s how bad it has gotten for some of us

Vaccines are safe and effective.

Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support.

When you want information, ask your doctor.

It's more important than ever for all of us to speak plainly, truthfully, and directly about public health.

We all live under the same sky.
We all belong to the same Earth.

We built the borders
and forgot
that we still live under the same sky,

I think about this a lot. Is it time to fork https and the web browser paradigm? As far as I can tell, everyone hates using browsers and the internet of shit.

Why do all these monsters look like they're wearing homemade "uniforms" like literally anybody could cosplay this shitty. Maybe Americans should all dress up like this en masse and fuck with them. Not a serious suggestion but like this is so weird they are a hair's breadth away from jeggings

This morning I was filming ICE abducting sometime in Petworth. One of the agents told me "the last US citizen that did this he put in cuffs all the way to the courtroom".

Seeing people nonchalantly post stuff like makes me feel like I'm going crazy honestly.
A post from an academic on blue sky that says: "I'm learning about "prompt engineering" when asking LLMs to extract data. I now add this to all instructions:

Style
Be concise, analytic, and specific (cite page/figure if provided). If essential info is missing, keep going but flag Unclear and exact data needed. Never invent data.
