I can’t imagine presenting anything Elon Musk says as realistic or factual. The man is the world’s most famous liar.
Tesla will probably sell its Optimus robots to the public by the end of next year, according to Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk, who’s said the carmaker’s fortunes will be increasingly dependent on humanoid machines.

Saw a lot of headlines saying "wikipedia is embracing ai" being tossed around tabloids, and I'm pretty sure they were maliciously written to make you feel a certain way about Wikipedia. What's actually happening is that wikipedia is demanding payment for data scraping and the corpos don't like that.
Sure. AI companies have ALWAYS been training their models on Wikipedia content, which under the free and open access model is available to anyone — including AI companies. Agreements like these require AI companies to limit and offset the strain they place on Wikimedia infrastructure.
Hoping that @molly.wiki can help explain.

The eroding of art as a consequence of wholly mundane incentives and carelessness, not some grand conspiracy or even passionate rebuttal, feels like a very *of the moment* thing to understand. A masterclass from Olson (per usual).

Slow pig progress. (Ardboy for reference haha) My goal in the next couple months is to have all my regiment of renowns painted so I feel less bad slamming them into otherwise fully painted lists lol.

Listen, I know the cards are probably stacked towards Total War: 40K, but god I’d kill for TW: AoS instead.

Three characters with narratives about doing the right thing even when it’s complicated, and Chronos purely on style points 😅

I know we’re all nostalgic for vine, but it feels like everyone is ignoring all the crypto language/architecture built into Dorsey’s new gambit. Like it runs in Nostr. Feels more like they’re just using the vine backlog to push a crypto scheme imo.

Pratchett, his whole bibliography, is most of the reason I am the person I am.
Specifically the first book of his I read was The Fifth Elephant, a weird place to start but still one of my favorites.
Still haven’t read The Shepherd’s Crown, don’t know if I’ll ever be ready.

performative reading, lack of reading skills, nobody's reading anymore -- NO!
tell me about a book that changed you
for me? the *extremely* ahistorical novel, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY which I read at 13 and was like, "Oh, art can be *everything* to a maker, for good and bad"

Extremely low stakes debate topic:
What do you figure is the English word with the worst “what it means” to “how it sounds” ratio?
Like, I borderline refuse to say “demonstrably” right because “demonstrate-ably” is what it means while “de-MONSTER-bly” sounds like a children’s monster movie title.

I have… way more thoughts about the Wednesday show than is probably healthy. Like it was fun, but idk if I’ve ever seen a piece of media jumble its ideas so powerfully before.

The inevitable has happened, I booted up Silksong and I’ve finally hit a point where the time investment to get good enough to play it just doesn’t really grab me anymore
I lived off Soulslikes through my 20s. But I’ve got other stuff going on now I want to do more. End of an era. Skong on for me 🫡

Exasperatingly frequently necessary reminder that the weaponization of ableism and fatphobia and homophobia and transphobia against your political enemies still works to NORMALIZE those things, thus SYSTEMICALLY HARMING your supposed allies.

I try to maintain empathy and connection for humans as a whole, but the illusion that the world "just works"--that the assumptions of past generations are true, that the rules of your teachers are sacred, that change is a risk rather than a necessity--is poisonous, and creates poisonous people.

I don’t understand what Biden et al are doing with the ERA, do they think people are not going to notice that it isn’t actually in place?

Listen, it is obviously *someone’s* aesthetic or it wouldn’t be the no. 1 source of plastic miniatures in the world… but I have literally never seen a space marine that looked cool.
