Some of my fave Birbs from January's #birbfest. Paintings cut out and sitting on the easel. Collage them together or straight up on the wall? #birbfest2026 #oilpaint

there has been a lot of hype recently around AI "passing medical exams." those stories and studies ignore the fact that people are complex, often opaque, difficult things, not a series of steps in a formula www.404media.co/chatbots-hea...
Chatbots Make Terrible Doctors, New Study Finds
Chatbots provided incorrect, conflicting medical advice, researchers found: “Despite all the hype, AI just isn't ready to take on the role of the physician.”

going to start referring to all this no-caffeine, omni-spectrum sobriety, celibacy, 996, workout and diet focus stuff as "mormonism with silicon valley characteristics" because it's more polite than calling it "homeschool mindset"

Lol wut???
I'm not giving Discord my ID data fuck that.
We're getting "won't you please think of the children-ed" towards a less free internet. All these social media bans for kids under x-age are not to protect kids, it's all about control.

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

To be very clear, that lady in the NYT article is not making any money with her hundreds of AI slop books.
She makes money by *convincing people* she makes money that way and getting them to pay her to teach them how to do it.
It's an evolved MLM, and the NYT is helping market it.
