After much research and development I have made an offline version of ChatGPT.
Now you can save water and electricity while navel-gazing, and carry one of the world's most powerfully annoying AI chatbots in your pocket.

Okay, this is a fascinating case of social media priming.
So, this creator, Sarah Velush, basically has a channel devoted to deadpan lifestyle humour (a la Chef Tova).
But because a progressive account takes it literally and says... this? Hundreds of comments assuming she's an evil tradwife.

I strongly encourage my palaeoart peers who work in the museum display sector to write explicit "no AI modification" clauses into their contracts.
Even if your employee contacts at a given museum are trustworthy, you can't rely on outsourced 3rd parties to not butcher your work without said clause.

Two weeks ago I said that there were likely millions of uninstalled Blackwell GPUs sitting in warehouses as there is neither the data center capacity nor the power to turn them on. Michael Burry is looking into it and it looks like he’s got evidence I’m right.

I do love how folks are reviving making and wearing Palestinian embroidery. It wasn’t long ago that it was vanishing. It eclipses a lot of other folkways, though, like appliqué, and beading.
I’m today’s instalment of vanishing Palestinian craft work, I bring you beading. These examples are from Margarita Skinner’s book Palestinian Embroidery Motifs 1850-1950 A Treasury of Stitches.

It's largely lost today because we've allowed constitutional law to become the exclusive preserve of lawyers, but the original idea of written constitutionalism was partly one of public education, publicity, & (proto-)democracy—people should be able to read & come to know the law which binds them
The evidence is the text. All you have to do is read the Constitution.
