Spiders Georg but it’s the president and rape. (Quote tweeting because it’s really not a funny matter, so I’m trying to keep it off Marisa’s feed)

Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

CSS-Tricks is back in good hands. 🙌🏻 Happy to see this and happy for you @geoffgraham.me !

CSS-Tricks*@css-tricks.com

CSS-Tricks has a new owner! Yes, I've got the keys to the castle, so to speak. And, even after 12 years of working on the site, I'll admit I'm a little overwhelmed and nervous about that. https://css-tricks.com/css-tricks-has-a-new-owner/

It’s funny that Microsoft trying to dump a quarter of their employees because I just tried the AI tool in Outlook search and it just flat out didn’t work. Let’s hope whoever is working on that doesn’t take the severance package

The second absurd thing is the premise that there are fishermen who scratch out a living getting iceberg chunks out of the water and selling it to a vodka distillery. It’s like the LLM conflated the iceberg imagery from a vodka bottle into the idea that you’d make vodka from ice. Nonsense

I guess those are my only two points: boring and silly nonsense that reads as dumb rather than interesting. It totally could be fully human writing, but I sniff LLM junk. I can anticipate there’s more of it to come: frozen squid mucus takes over scientist brain… but I’m not going to watch any more.

first scene the family is hauling a house across a bay with a boat. It’s like someone prompted: forced relocation, giant squid, Newfoundland, fisherman, visually arresting. Like, yes, it’s wild to see a boat hauling a house across the water, but the absurdity makes it less “arresting” and more “huh?

1. It’s boring as shit. The dialog is clearly: establish plot, introduce character, develop themes. Boring is not unique to LLM’s, but I could barely pay attention to what was said.

Do you remember the time when they made all the characters in mob movies have names like Alan Jones? And no one liked it because they wanted those beautiful Italian-style names? President Donald Trump does! defector.com/what-is-the-...

“Protect our phone lines” isn’t super catchy but it’s a sentiment a lot of boomers would get behind

mtsw@mtsw.bsky.social

to me, a layup sensible AI regulation is "do not allow the AI agent to make phone calls for any reason"

Put it in my veins!

I was up 6 points of material. I’m still seething at myself. And since I’m still up 1 point I really should t resign but I feel humiliated every time I look at the board

if you think about it, winning via a direct connection to the divine father of all creation through His appointed emissary on Earth is a much more egregious cheating scandal than banging on trash cans

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.
