A PR company working for Colossal Biosciences is sending AI generated pieces to respected science journalists & asking them to publish the articles under their own names. This is so dodgy & just goes to show our critical expert scientific commentary is working. Sci comm failure 101 for Colossal.

A digital drawing featuring four comic panels, and the text "may the rainy days of fall give me the restfull calm I need". Inside the panels are different nature scenes, like a meadow, mushrooms, a rainy landscape and a mountain.

maybe!!

Star Trek Deep Space Nine scene. We're on a space station, number 9 I think. We're on the promenade and Dr Bashir is sitting and having a coffee chat with Chief Miles Edward O'Brien, who can perfectly fold a fitted sheet with one hand. O'Brien, who can beat you at tic tac toe in 2 moves, looks rather grumpy while taking a big swig of coffee from his future space coffee mug. Closed caption reads, "That's your fifth cup of coffee in 20 minutes."

The comments sections are among the reasons I'm increasingly persuaded that the Infinity Gauntlet is a very good idea actually.

OpenAI doesn't realise that PhD-level expertise has very little to do with the stuff you know and more to do with how you can think. I forget facts from mine all the time!

The value in my PhD is knowing how to reliably generate, evaluate, and defend or dismiss information that's new to the world.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman described the model as "like having a team of PhD-level experts in your pocket”

AI is designed, by principle, to nullify the need for additional collaboration and self-aggrandize.

Or, in the words that made my former boss panic: it's a silo. For thought and cost.

Which is the antithesis of creating good art. Good art doesn't happen in a vacuum, it happens with COMMUNITY

TNG scene but it's a TNG MOVIE (Generations) not the show. We're on a darker than usually lit Enterprise bridge. I know because folks in the comments are usually still very upset about the lighting on the bridge here! It's a sore spot and very important apparently! Standing front and center and shown from his burly chest upward is Riker. He's dressed in a royal navy master and commander naval ship captain outfit with a hoity toity hat and lots of frillys on the shoulder and gold ribbons and buttons and crisp white accents. He looks determined. Closed caption reads, "Just do it!"

embarrassing myself

flug melting by the evils of the sun "Help me.. I'm melting", an arrow point to a fridge that flug is suspected to be in "4 hours into the freezer" another arrow is pointed to a Popsicle flug, "SUCCESS!" flug is clearly happy about this "wow.. i feel so much better.."

Calling on my ancestors for guidance but the only one who answers is a weird eutherian rodent-mammal from the early cretaceous period. "EAT BERRY SLEEP UNDER ROCK" it says. Pretty good advice

News paper clipping: 'There is no ethical way to use the major Al image generators. All of them are trained on stolen images, and all of them are built for the purpose of deskilling, disempowering and replacing real, human artists. - MOLLY CRABAPPLE, artist and activist

Incredibly important report on AI training & copyright released today by the European Commission. It gets lots right, slamming the idea that creators should be required to opt-out of having their works used for free by AI companies.

It says:

- Generative AI must be based on opt-in consent

nope. no. never.

Watercolor fan art of Supergirl. She just got some new boots! They look amazing! And should work great against whatever threat she might need to face. The first of which will likely be the one Streaky seems to be a much larger priority outside her skyline window.

Getting ready to see a movie! ❤️💛💙

Two labubus who look quite different from each other sit together. One says, "I need the toilet so bad". The other says, "I need the toilet even more".

Reminded of guys being surprised that women would prefer the first over the second, as if it wasn’t men who pushed the second on to them and refused to just listen and believe women.
