plus if you have a short commute, work from home, or take public transport most days maybe don't even bother with any fancy charging stuff - plugging the car into a regular outlet over a night or two will give more range than you need

I think we’ll recover, but it won’t be like anything our parents and grandparents have experienced…and as a Black person I think that may be a good thing. What is broken may never be fixed, so that’s why we have to create something new

Yep. And that’s why until White Americans do something, nothing will change until they get tired of things

GM Tip: Build secrets into your world that not even the players' characters are meant to uncover easily. Layers of mystery reward curiosity and encourage exploration.

Tonight for Day 7 of #31DaysofHorror25 I’ll be watching “Talk to Me”, a tale about a group of friends who discover they can conjure spirits using an embalmed hand.

Shout again to out to @garciajrdev.bsky.social for this recommendation!

"In the process, [NVIDIA and OpenAI are] now seen as playing a key role in ratcheting up the risks of a possible AI bubble by inflating the market and binding the fates of numerous companies together. "

Posting this again because many folks know about Glaze glaze.cs.uchicago.edu but they should also really look into nightshade.cs.uchicago.edu/whatis.html

These are not foolproof solutions (researchers, incl. ppl working 4 the corps) have already posted on how to break it. But the work continues.

Nightshade: Protecting Copyright

Since their arrival, generative AI models and their trainers have demonstrated their ability to download any online content for model training. For content owners and creators, few tools can prevent their content from being fed into a generative AI model against their will. Opt-out lists have been disregarded by model trainers in the past, and can be easily ignored with zero consequences. They are unverifiable and unenforceable, and those who violate opt-out lists and do-not-scrape directives can not be identified with high confidence.
