Beautiful!

Altman is the Rasputin of Silicon Valley though, he is on a whole different level of hallucinatory nonsense that powerful people at the top are enamored by.

What was the last non-gibberish thing Altman has said?

I feel like he has been playing the “you can only speak in gibberish” improv game for as long as I can remember.

err, you sound like an FBI agent trying to provoke people into saying wild shit…

Na, let’s not talk about casually bombing media outlets, it only normalizes things further in a dark way.

KEVIN Birmingham’s new book about the long censorship fight over James Joyce’s Ulysses braids eight or nine good stories into one mighty strand.

It’s about women’s rights and heroic female editors, the First World War, anarchism and modernism, tenderness and syphilis, moral panic and about the Lost Generation and the tent it pitched at Sylvia Beach’s Paris bookstore. It isolates a great love story, that of Joyce and Nora Barnacle, one that comes with a finger-burning side order of some of the most cheerfully filthy correspondence in literary history.

And what a quest it was. “Ulysses” was illegal to own in most of the English-speaking world for more than a decade. It was banned, burned, debated, smuggled, and finally legalized following a 1933 court ruling. In Birmingham’s highly readable and erudite book, he infuses this story with drama, reminding us that the right to express oneself can never be taken for granted.

Readers will quickly realize the immense scope of “The Most Dangerous Book.” Modernism, obscenity, the power once held by postal authorities, vice squads, 19th century English law, Joyce’s sex life and health problems, The Lost Generation, early literary magazines, Wall Street lawyers, the suffrage movement, anarchy in America, and even the Enlightenment are all seamlessly woven into this most fascinating tapestry.

No.

There is a shortage of decent nursing jobs that treat workers well and pay them a living wage.

There is NOT a shortage of nurses.

It takes emotional labor to separate people from the situations/context you interact with them in. Part of work culture should be making sure that people aren’t too stressed and tired to do this labor by unrealistic work demands and inhumane treatment.

From what I understand about nursing, at least in my country, this is systematically an issue of pushing people too hard so I would say give yourself slack for not being perfectly aloof.

No, the AI was most certainly trained on the same stack overflow posts as humans would manually search out in the past.

Thus the effective difference is precisely that between an active attempt to understand and blindly copying since the AI is specifically there to introduce a stochastic opaqueness between truth (i.e. sufficiently curated training data) and interpretation of truth.

There is a context to stackoverflow posts and comments that can be analyzed from many different perspectives by the human brain (who posted the question with what tone, do the answers/comments tend to agree, how long ago was it posted etc…), by definition the way LLMs work they destroy that in favor of a hallucinating-yet-authoritative disembodied voice.

Are you aware of a little thing called the climate catastrophe that is unfolding as we speak?

This is beautiful.

These are truly lyrics, they are begging for a banger of a pop music video.

I feel betrayed as a geologist by this bait and switch.

Wait the teacher got to the point they have a 3d file right?

If so this seems like a job for Blender.

Nooooo please don’t push the knife all the way into Star Trek and let Disney twist the knife. :(

Yeah and like that is cool, all the smartest most hardworking people involved with ActivityPub can laugh in my face saying these are nonsense concerns and I will continue to be realistic about human beings, greed and money.

Of course the ActivityPub developers see it as a friendly relationship, this is what they are experts about why would corporations burn that bridge before they consolidate control?

There does not have to be a “winning” protocol.

Actually, from the perspective of investors looking to make a profit off of Bluesky there does?

The ActivityPub people are naive as heck if they think this is an innocent situation, a LOT of money is at stake. Words about this just being a positive relationship are meaningless in reassurance.

I would recommend syncthing and plain text files organized in a simple clear folder structure.

I would alternatively recommend Logseq, Obsidian or Joplin but the issue is file syncing/file share.

Actually Cryptpad!

I recommend using a general tool in a simple way rather than look for a specific niche tool in this case but that is just me.

No this is a contraction of the commons

Well I am all for them and other similar cancers being litigated more then!

More chances for me to celebrate!

Never been so happy for or felt so much hope from a successful copyright infringement case before what a weird inversion of circumstance.

Fuck AI.

Now the bubble just needs to pop already :)
