Woke up thinking about Onibaba (1964).
What a film.
Two women survive in warring feudal Japan by tricking and murdering samurai, and stealing their belongings.
But when someone gets between the two women, the eldest tells of an evil curse that may be on them both...
Machete's way up for this one.🔪🔪

A really cool AI usage I came across recently is the Open Stable Audio project.
It was trained on a corpus of licensed and open materials. It won't autogen a song like Suno, but does great at quick hit/instrument voice creation you could drop into a DAW. Also pretty good at Foley/ambient sounds.

Got to give my thoughts on public records requests today.
This is after being completely ridiculous on public records as a private citizen before work.

Morgan gets home in about a week, or ~3hrs before the 2003 transcripts are done.

Transcription engine is humming. ~2000 #akleg meetings so far, right into the summarizer which runs 24/7 at 97% utilization.
Building the vector processor right now. Goal is to have a holistic semantic vectorized model of an entire two year Alaska State Legislature before Thanksgiving.

Just found out Fairbanks does not have cheap hydroelectric power shipped in from Juneau.
Training an Ai to ask it to look at whether the Legislature discussed buttcheeks fifty years ago may have cost me $3.24.

I used the query 'summarize buttcheeks' to see if my summarizer of the summarizer would hallucinate.
It did not hallucinate (The transcriber still has some present as artifacts), but the semantic search returned a summary on Dump Truck Operators.

Got my batch summarizer and semantic indexer fully rigged up.
I now have a complete pipeline that will download/transcribe/summarize/index all legislative proceedings and place them in a database that a custom setup LLM can access and handle natural language queries. #akleg

CBJ is getting sued over Telephone Hill. Good.
Not my fight, but they definitely moved too quickly. Pretty sure our eviction notices came before the vote.
Already sent my email to CBJ asking for clarification on the unequal treatment of tenants and their stance on the Juneau Independent articles.

CBJ sent us a rent request. You know, for the place they evicted us from months ago.
I've got a hankering suspicion that they've got a fun filled winter ahead, and I am looking forward to the blooming of good governance in the spring once this is resolved.
