"NB.1.8.1 is a mutated Omicron variant" shows you how misleading the Greek letter names have become. Reminder that all Greek letters were given between May and November 2021 and none since. Here's reality:

Oh my god, Copilot is allowed to create and fix issues on Microsoft github repos and it goes exactly as you'd have imagined. Try going into any of these PRs commits to see poor Microsoft engineers try to coerce Copilot into doing literally anything right. www.reddit.com/r/Experience...

@austinwalker.bsky.social The intro to road to PALISADE #20 reminded me of a famous Chinese dissident poem: Bei Dao's "The Answer". Mostly the enumeration of things the speaker believes/doesn't believe, but the rest is fun too ("glimmering stars", "unobstructed sky").

I have to say that it seems like lots of AI power users are in the gamified machine zone — attracted by the constant attention of feedback loops, agnostic of what that feedback is. The casino has come for the minds of the C suite.

I want to give credit to Metz/Weise here for stating plainly that LLMs cannot decide that something is or isn't true or false. Stating the actual, real limitations of these models is necessary, and it's good to finally see this happening in the mainstream media without any throat clearing

there's something fundamentally insane about lifestyle vlogging at any level. i'm just totally skeeved out by the self producing of someone's own life. setting up a camera to film yourself getting into a car, set to jangly guitar music... it truly makes me want to puke

Something that you might not know about @formyths.bsky.social's beautiful Side Story cover is that it is a scan of a physical riso print - what they're able to do with the three colours of a riso printer is a thing of magic

being an indie bookseller in the helltimes has felt both very stable and very stabilizing, and part of me wishes everyone could be on my side of the counter for a little while, because I think it would help some of you be a little less cynical and doomy right now. so here is my VERY anecdotal data:

Just got yelled at by TSA because I "smiled too much" in my drivers license photo, thereby ruining their new facial recognition software they use at checkpoints. Unrelated, did you know that the TSA routinely and massively fails to detect weapons when tested? abcnews.go.com/US/exclusive...

Looking at these court docs is something else. A year ago we all lost our jobs, & the reason given was “an employee talked to a journalist so we had to shut down the studio.” But now, in their own telling, it was actually bc one investor told another investor not to trust them, so the money dried up

UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is. They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there. They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.

Okay. I was already having a fucking week, but I finally made myself watch Anora, and I can’t sit on this anymore: Baker stole the characters, setting, themes, and tone from a tiny sex worker-made production I was in in 2015, and which was shared with him in 2016 to solicit his advice.

Googles response basically being “it’s not making things up, it’s just incapable of telling facts from made up bullshit” would have destroyed a product in the days before the economy was propped up by a thin framework of scams lashed together with investment capital
