tonight at 9 we're gonna start by talking about the two-point conversion. it'll go in very different directions very quickly from there
screenshot from scorigami pt. 2 showing the scorigami board, a diagram of the two-point conversion, and a passage from White Metropolis by Michael Phillips: "Hunt once raged at Smoot after the former FBI man said in a "LIFE-LINE" broadcast that democracy was "a political outgrowth of the teachings of Jesus Christ." Hunt corrected Smoot, deriding democracy as the handiwork of the devil and a "phony liberal form of watered down communism."

Robert Redford playing a gentle incarnation of death, coming for a frightened old woman in The Twilight Zone episode "Nothing in the Dark" (1962). An extraordinary performance then, terribly bittersweet today

It's becoming increasingly obvious that the internet we've had for the past 30 years is being actively dismantled.

We need to start taking proactive action to protect data and lines of communications on websites that haven't been affected yet, before they are.

Censorship is rapidly coming.

@gelbooru
So for whatever reason, Cloudflare has now disabled access to our domain when the proxy is enabled. This struck all our sites at once. I received no email from Cloudflare before this happened, and still have no idea what is going on.
It also happened for Danbooru at the same moment.

This is really fascinating

Wikipedia's list of linguistic and stylist "tells" of AI writing, the better to help editors recognize it

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikiped...
A Wikipedia-style guideline page on avoiding exaggerated wording by LLMs, with two sections titled Undue emphasis on symbolism and importance and Promotional language. Each section lists “words to watch” in a beige box, such as "stands as a testament", "plays a vital role", "rich cultural heritage", "breathtaking", and "must-see". Below, example sentences are shown with problematic phrases highlighted in yellow, including "enhancing its significance", "captivates both residents and visitors alike", "stands as a symbol", "reflects the evolving identity", "vibrant town with a rich cultural heritage", "fascinating glimpse into the diverse tapestry", and "value-driven experiences".

A federal court ruled that ANTHROPIC illegally copied MILLIONS of books to train its AI.

All authors and publishers whose books were downloaded by Anthropic from pirate websites are subject to receiving compensation. This could involve your work.

I saw an infographic a couple years ago about how to remove source identifiers from links and why it's important, but I can't find it again and too many people I know are sending me links with them so here's an infographic straight from the oven
Header text: "HEY YOU! YES YOU! TAKE THIS SHIT OUT OF LINKS!"

This is followed by a couple example urls, with a red square highlighting the sections with source identifiers. The rest of the text is as follows: 

Source identifiers are used to track your activity on a site. Where you came from, what device you use, and even who you talk to. Whether it's written clearly in the url or tied to a random string of characters, it's assigned to your activity. 
 
When you send a link containing a source identifier to somebody and they click it, it signals to the website that you two are connected. And that data goes right back to the website operators, and thus their advertisers. 
 
Whenever you select "share" or "copy link" on a social app or website, it creates a link like this. If you give even the smallest shit about online privacy, it's important to remove them. Everything after the "?" symbol can be removed without issue, especially sections starting with "si=" or "utm_source="
