Can we all please report this individual who is stealing the work of real artists - including friends of mine - to feed into AI. Let’s keep BlueSky free of these parasites.

I keep seeing takes that F1 is leaving IndyCar in the dust in America, but IndyCar found a way to embarrassingly link up with an unpopular despot of a country for a street race without even leaving its home market. That's innovation! F1 has to go to other continents to do that!

Tried increasing the brightness and removing shadows from the photo of Aston Martin’s AMR26.
Does indeed look very unique, like most of Adrian Newey’s creations.

In case you missed it; my dear friend victoria and I have a new podcast
hello I am launching my very own podcast with @jordanjamboree.pittbert.gay where we (mostly casually!) chat about car culture in the decline of the American empire, auto racing, and industry news interspersed with tales of our former auto journo careers. we call it TRAN GIRLISMO

We used to call it 'machine learning' and it was super useful for analysing large batches of images in scientific, medical, and historical research. But nobody used it to generate 'new' images based on real data because that was, and still is, extremely dumb.

Yeah the thing that immediately pissed me off about this is how IT basics are taught in libraries and are essential to modern living and have huge - like years long - queues but where’s the funding for that?
if they can offer free AI training they could offer free media literacy training too. i know which of those would do more for the public good

Finding it very funny that F1 was too embarrassed to test in public but actually they are doing incredibly well and now are struggling to show off about it because no one can see it

Last year the drivers were all complaining about the new cars in the sim, but now they're out on track they're all "it's more predictable to drive, it's powerful, we have options"

People saying it sounds like AI. Yeah it does a bit – I hadn't picked up on that. Similarly I hate that faux playful tone AI assistants use despite not being real people. Uncanny and inauthentic and makes me distrustful.

I think that is definitely some of it, though I don't mind them being playful. The fact that it's not a real person gives it a real contrivance? And also projects an idea if how it thing -I- am supposed to feel? It's weird and uncanny

This is definitely a Me thing, not an objective assessment. It just grinds my gears as a structure style.

If the cars break down in early testing that's fine. Finding the kinks it's part of the process.
