My fave assignment for #OaklandMagazine was writing a piece on Oakland’s 7th Street history as simulated by #Cal architecture & journalism students.

Rereading now while writing a #creativenonfiction book.

Or people could just, you know, run for office.

20,000 uncontested seats in 2024. Republicans won almost 80% without an opponent. In state and local offices. Where elections are decided.

I just reported the ad on YouTube as “violent,” but someone might also flag as “misleading.”

A circular emblem featuring a cartoon frog styled like an American revolutionary figure. The frog has a green face with black spots, white lower jaw, and wears a powdered white wig tied with a yellow bow. Around the edge of the dark blue circle, white text reads “GIVE ME RIBBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH,” parodying Patrick Henry’s famous quote.

Have you taken the #Shellmound freeway exit off I-80? Maybe you remember the protests when developers razed what remained of this Native American landmark.

High resolution images from satellite and from eddy-resolving ocean circulation models point to an ongoing decline of the Atlantic overturning circulation, a key ocean current for our climate. Read more about it in my new blog article. 🌊

The #AMOC is the reason for Europe’s mild climate. Evidence that it is slowing has been piling up over the years – it now is likely at its weakest in at least a millennium, and it may even be approach...

Whistling when ICE is about to kidnap someone for no reason is incredibly effective. They know what they are doing is wrong and will scatter in the wind when too many witnesses gather.

FORM A CROWD

ICE NEARBY
BLOW QUICKLY IN A BROKEN RHYTHM:
PRE-PRE-PRE!
→ ALERTS THE COMMUNITY THAT ICE AGENTS ARE IN THE AREA.

WHY A WHISTLE? ON THE STREETS
• A SIMPLE TOOL FOR FAST ALERTS.

• OUR VOICES ARE

WHISTLES GUIDE
PEOPLE TO:
• FOLLOW ICE CARAVANS
• CATCH UP WITH THE CROWD
• ALERT NEIGHBORS
TO JOIN IN
NOISE = VISIBILITY.
CODE 2:
CODE RED
BLOW THREE LONG BLASTS:
PREEEE-PREEEE-PREEEE!
→ ICE IS DETAINING SOMEONE.
FORM A CROWD, STAY LOUD.
DON'T STAY SILENT. STAY NONVIOLENT.
WHY IT WORKS
• INSTANT ALERT

“Current architectures of LLMs cannot imagine, but they can sequence … For the same reason that a dog can go to church but a dog cannot be Catholic, an LLM can have a conversation but cannot participate in the conversation.”

I've been re-acquainting myself with NNs, transformers and LLMs this week, so these are early thoughts. But I am starting to think about language without the capacity to imagine language, i.e., an LLM unable to imagine itself participating in language. mail.cyberneticforests.com/what-machine...
