The Well

The well runs deep. This one, placed here in the center of your hundred acre wood. This well is your inheritance I hear, but it's also a structure of failed stewardship for you...

Just a reminder the mainstream news has all but memory holed this incredibly violent political assassination of a leader & her spouse, which was almost multiple political assassinations if the attacker had not been delayed by several Democratic reps not being home & 2 other people he shot surviving.

Boooooo so disappointing @inaturalist.bsky.social
What a terrible, terrible idea. I have loved the iNaturalist app but won't be using it any more as long as they're doing this. The environmental costs of GenAI are way too high (and that's before you get into the ethical issues!).
Over the next 6 months, iNaturalist will be participating in the Google.org Accelerator: Generative AI program to help build tools to improve the identification experience on iNaturalist. Learn more: www.inaturalist.org/blog/113184-...

Details are murky and no final agreement has been reached, but the plan is under serious enough consideration that the administration has discussed it with Libyan leadership.
