Well it's done. So many hours gone. It's been the bane of my life for the last two weeks. So many broken branches! Hand carved from boxwood (bird and leaves) walnut (branches) and oak (scrolls). #carving #woodcarving #miniature #birdart #miniaturecarving #tinyart #art #sculpture #wood #woodart

If you are stuck using Google Search for any reason (like on a school computer in my case) you can disable AI overview by going to the settings of your browser, and adding a new search engine and putting "{google:baseURL}search?q=%s&udm=14" (without quotes) in the URL field :3

there is a true nap and a false nap. the false nap is scheduled. a true nap must be taken when necessary. the false nap is timed. a true nap must be unfettered. the false nap's goal is to return to work. a true nap's goal is to play within the mind

WHAT A SPIDER!!! 🤯🤯 BEHOLD, one of the coolest arachnids in the world, the Long-horned Spiny Orb Spider (Macracantha arcuata)! 🕷😍 Found in the rainforests of SE Asia, these magnificent beasts are found usually at head-height in a web they’ve made to catch flying prey!🐞🕸️

OpenAI pirated large numbers of books and used them to train models. OpenAI then deleted the dataset with the pirated books, and employees sent each other messages about doing so. A lawsuit could now force the company to pay $150,000 per book, adding up to billions in damages.

the endpoint of chatgpt and other llm chatbot interfaces is a cohort of people who don't really live so much as they are on a sort of guided tour of their own lives, who have more or less totally abdicated agency and responsibility in favor of a step by step template of how to pretend to be a person
