A dragon perches at the top of a pyramid shaped building in this digital painting of a modern city at night. The colors are gray and gold. The dragon is black lit with warm light. People gather on a rooftop to watch it

"Modern Dragons" launches tomorrow 🐉

Corsair "Princess" Pela Starfall.. 25 hours of work approximately. I could probably smooth out some of the wing transitions with more glazing but... face aside (because I suck at those) aside, absolutely my favorite model I've painted so far.

I’ve had the same editor since 1967. Many times he has said to me over the years or asked me, Why would you use a semicolon instead of a colon? And many times over the years I have said to him things like: I will never speak to you again. Forever. Goodbye. That is it. Thank you very much. And I leave. Then I read the piece and I think of his suggestions. I send him a telegram that says, OK, so you’re right. So what? Don’t ever mention this to me again. If you do, I will never speak to you again

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

how is this literally happening in real life

"Goodnight moon" #synthart

Miah Curtana, everyone's favorite sapphire and titanium succubus, teasing Loccubus, playing with the little halo thing. We didn't know at the time that Loccubus is meant to be six feet tall, which sorta "accidentally" made Curtana 8'7.5" tall by the reckoning of this picture.

Curtana was actually designed as a *flirt*. Lo had jokingly posted "tell me about your succubisona" on masto one day, and within a few hours @jillsuccubus.bsky.social opened for commissions, which I took that as a sign from below that I must act. This was the result.

A satyr woman with green and purple tattoos gets her brains absolutely railed out of her by a blue-skinned succubus

Hey so I'm in a "rent-lowering gunshot" mood so I'm gonna post straight up porn I've commissioned for a little bit.

This is my transfemme satyr character getting her brains railed out, as drawn by @jillsuccubus.bsky.social (that's their character!)

Bleh.. 12 days until major GI surgery and I feel like I have to talk myself out of a panic attack every time I look at a calendar.

Also... not enough to time to do all the things I would like to get done before hand... at home and at work. fuckfuckfuckfuck-I-hate-this-so-fucking-much.

As a systems designer I think a lot about how social safety nets could be efficiently deployed to a large population. You could save so much money on administration by just giving everyone a basic income.

It also support local businesses, improves the quality of life, and is great for the economy.

Emily 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ @EmilyEnough@hachyderm.io My biggest problem with the concept of LLMs, even if they weren’t a giant plagiarism laundering machine and disaster for the environment, is that they introduce so much unpredictability into computing. I became a professional computer toucher because they do exactly what you tell them to. Not always what you wanted, but exactly what you asked for. LLMs turn that upside down. They turn a very autistic do-what-you-say, say-what-you-mean commmunication style with the machine into a neurotypical conversation talking around the issue, but never directly addressing the substance of problem. In any conversation I have with a person, I’m modeling their understanding of the topic at hand, trying to tailor my communication style to their needs. The same applies to programming languages and frameworks. If you work with a language the way its author intended it goes a lot easier. But LLMs don’t have an understanding of the conversation. There is no intent. It’s just a mostly-likely-next-word generator on steroids. You’re trying to give directions to a lossily compressed copy of the entire works of human writing. There is no mind to model, and no predictability to the output. If I wanted to spend my time communicating in a superficial, neurotypical style my autistic ass certainly wouldn’t have gone into computering. LLMs are the final act of the finance bros and capitalists wrestling modern technology away from the technically literate proletariat who built it.
