Went to my first Celtic festival last weekend in Tucson, and a couple from Paradise, CA, had a pop-up shop there. I lived in Chico for about 6 yrs (moons ago) and was devastated when the Camp Fire decimated Paradise. These folks lost everything in the fire and have rebuilt their lives there.

Multiple of these squeezed at the same time make a horrid sound. This is hilarious.
Two days ago, the regime police in Georgia arrested a man over squeaking a chicken toy towards the police.
So, yesterday, many people brought these chickens to do the same.

I miss the early days of social media. *sigh*
Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.
My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

Yes! This is so important! Machine Learning is doing wonderful things like mapping Martian craters and analyzing microbe genomes. LLMs are a very specific form & it’s them doing these huge amounts of harm. I also sometimes say “Gen AI”
when I mean both LLMs and art generators; I try to never say AI

Journalist challenge: Use “Machine Learning” when you mean machine learning and “LLM” when you mean LLM. Ditch “AI” as a catch-all term, it’s not useful for readers and it helps companies trying to confuse the public by obscuring the roles played by different technologies. 🧪

I love this.
Every time I go to an art museum, I take pictures of every dog I see in a painting/sculpture/anything and make a photo album called the Good Boys of X Museum. The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam has had the best good boys so far. Family and friends now send me pics of the good boys they see.
