Definitely.

It can be stopped, but not easily.

Stop saying AI hallucinates - it doesn't. And the mischaracterization is dangerous Commentary: The language we use to describe AI is pivotal to how humans see AI - so we'd better get it right.

I wince whenever I read about AI "hallucinating." AI fucks up and because LLMs are being pushed on every discipline, errors large & small are introduced into our documents. These are ERRORS. AI cannot hallucinate.

Stop being lazy about our fundamental, precious abilities to use words.

This is your periodic reminder that Democrats introduced legislation in 2021 to ban gerrymandering nationwide and every republican voted against it except two who were absent.

GenAI is plunder, pass it on (a comic)

This Is Just To Say

I have turned off
the AI features
that were in
the update

and which
you were probably
hoping
to monetize

Fuck you
they were stupid
so unnecessary
and so annoying

I'm sure a lot of them will grow on me, but standouts from first listens were Fabulous People, The Face, and I'm Not Sorry.

You support the Face-Eating Leopard Party and then you're surprised at what, exactly?

This is definitely the wrong week to fuck with me, but people keep doing it.

And this was after being put on hold multiple times by the front-line customer service rep, who kept promising me he would get a supervisor in two minutes, then came back at least ten times and saying it would be another two minutes until I'd literally been on hold for over a half hour.

Spoke this morning with a supervisor at a company that gave me the wrong information (despite double and triple-checking with them) and cost me hundreds of dollars.

He wouldn't listen to me, didn't let me talk, spoke over me when I was attempting to speak, would not shut up, then hung up on me.

There are so many exquisitely crafted pop songs that were played to death on the radio. Many times if you go for decades without hearing them and then hear them again, you rediscover how great they are!

Wow missed this.
“Norway reached 117% renewable electricity use in 2023, producing more than it consumes and exporting the surplus. “

Holy. Shit. This is Reid Wiseman's video he took with his iPhone while at the moon 🌙

I like checking out the newer stuff from artists who aren’t as popular as they once were evolving and exploring new musical pathways.

Joe Jackson- Hope and Fury (2026)

Just listened for the first time this afternoon.

It's wonderful.

Joe Jackson's new album Hope and Fury is magnificent.

It has different layers and textures and the songs linger with you.

What he's shed from the speed and fury of his early records he more than makes up for in insight and maturity.

I'm thankful he's still around and making music at age 71.

Someday, with luck and hard work, she will have a name too.

Gorgeous doggo! ❤️🐕❤️

Pancreatic cancer mRNA vaccine shows lasting results in an early trial Scientists caution that more research is needed, but nearly all of the patients who responded to the personalized vaccine are still alive six years later.

Because he refused, we may be able to stop the Kennedy Center from being sold for parts and turned into a gaudy MAGA fundraising warehouse.
