i spoke with an artist friend of mine the other day who was telling me about how she was working to help bring more artists in contact with these ai-developers because "they need artists to help make it less bad"
i asked her why the developers couldn't hear artists who say "don't use ai"? crickets.

the notion that something like "style" or "voice" can be reduced to programmable/itemized attributes is the same for me as saying that a painting can be described by the chemical composition of the paint, or the dimensions of the canvas.

honestly less and less convinced that the internet is compatible with democracy. seems impossible to have both freedom and an infinite database cataloguing every aspect of an individual's legible/codable life
"The capability is powered by both Motorola Solutions and Thomson Reuters, the massive data broker and media conglomerate, which besides running the Reuters news service, also sells masses of personal data to private industry and government agencies."
New: this app lets ICE track vehicles and owners across the country. ICE uses phone to scan license plates, add to a database of billions of records. Thomson Reuters then enriches that with marriage, voter, other info. Can predict where a car will be in the future

the problem with all movies based on video games is that the main affect they produce is reminding you how much more fun it is to play the video game than watch a movie about the video game

this seems like a bad play from the administration but on the other hand, a few catholic churches around here were Extremely Slow in replacing their lobby pictures of benedict after he handed off to francis so who knows how american catholics are really feeling
The U.S. bishops defended migrant families. Tom Homan snapped. Nan Hayworth called Pope Leo a “tool of our enemies.” Tim Burchett accused the church of getting rich off of sex trafficking.
Matt Walsh, Lara Logan, and the rest joined in. This is what MAGA anti-Catholicism looks like.

“Pope Leo Is a Tool of Our Enemies”: Homan Leads MAGA Attacks as Hayworth, Others Pile On
It’s the latest MAGA attack on Pope Leo’s pro-immigrant stance. Disgraced border chief Tom Homan — caught taking a $50,000 bribe in a Cava takeout bag — led the charge against Leo and the bishops.

my new favorite thing with my rice cooker is making a batch of sticky rice in the morning and it keeps it warm for hours, which means i can have sticky rice every time i walk into the kitchen. which of course i do.

alright let’s get something more pleasant going. what two books would you leave out on your coffee table so a reporter can mention you have them. doesn’t matter if you’ve read them. for me it’s Pale Fire (which I did read) and Ulysses (got like 15% of the way in)

The app Text With Jesus uses artificial intelligence and chatbots to offer spiritual guidance to users who are looking to connect with a higher power: on.nbc10.com/7XM8xrf
People can text with Jesus on a controversial new app. How does it work?
Artificial intelligence app Text With Jesus lets users chat with biblical figures and it is raising debate over faith and technology.
