I mean, one of his kids is named Techno Mechanicus...is it really so hard to believe all these IVF babies are just part of a mech suit project?

This is a very important message you should share with the people in your life that may be hitting the streets to protest: never talk to the police! WATCH:

also here is a blind person asking everyone to use alt text (everyone includes u)
Georgiana Brummell (@dandylover1@friendica.world) says: As someone who is totally blind, the Fediverse is the only place where I have ever been able to follow people such as photographers, artists, or even those who post pictures of their cats or the food they ate. The reason is that most of them use alt text. They take the time to describe the images that my screen reader can't recognise. Some write the descriptions themselves, and others use tools such as altbot. Some worry that their descriptions aren't good enough, especially when they are new at this. Let me assure you, not only are they good enough, they are extremely appreciated! If the rest of the world thought as you did, it would be a much better place. Don't hesitate to ask if you're unsure of something, but never think that we don't notice your effort.

Minding my own business watching @startalkradio.bsky.social and Daniel Levitin just casually explains my lifelong relationship with music in a way that makes me tear up.

newgrounds to their credit has banned all genAI stuff, and they have a good article up on how to hear (or otherwise detect) genAI music, worth reading!: www.newgrounds.com/wiki/help-in...

very fond of this extremely succinct and dry but lethal description of genAI music 🔥
a screen from newgrounds. the text is as follows: How to Detect AI on the Newgrounds Audio Portal By Quest and ADR3-N The Rise of Generative AI  As generative AI (GenAI) tools have become more accessible, Newgrounds has received an alarming amount of AI-generated audio content. This “music” lacks the spirit and creativity of genuine, human effort and degrades the quality of the Audio Portal with cookie-cutter tracks that essentially sound the same. Furthermore, GenAI songs represent a certain amount of legal risk to our site, as AI models are trained on copyrighted material without consent.

I guess call me a normie or a giant puss or whatever, but I have yet to get through either Interstellar or its soundtrack without being an emotional wreck by the end.

Is there a reason why you can't use actual child actors for a few lines of voice acting? Is it like the thing where you can't photograph milk on cereal so they use Elmer's glue? I can always tell it's a grown woman doing a "Bart" voice and it grates.

IG has always been a horrid scroll. At its best, it's just "everyone is having fun except me". And it's depressing by design. Anger and depression drive further scrolling in search of dopamine. It's down to a science. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

I would love to see a study where people are asked to determine whether the art they're viewing has human intentionality behind it, or whether it's just AI. I'm seeing a lot of stock illustration replaced with AI, to me it's obvious when it's just an algo flailing, vs a human expressing a concept.
