#NoKings Corvallis, OR
A low angle shot of the Corvallis courthouse on a beautiful blue fall day. A banner in front of the courthouse reads “NO KINGS OCT 18!”

Sergeant Slaughter from WWF, dressed in his Iraqi General uniform from his first gulf war gimmick. He kinda looks like Alex Jones now.

Fruitiny on the Bounty over here!

In all previous years combined, my trees have yielded one (1) pear.
A colander filled with freshly picked pears, with three pears leaning against the outside of it, sitting on a wood grain tabletop.

Yes, WSJ, the relevant social concern is user ‘delight,’ not the fundamental dishonesty about the nature of the product and what it is and is not.
A screen capture from a Wall Street Journal article that reads: “'Calibrated literacy' While the researchers' findings suggest that encouraging a sense of awe around AI could be useful for companies deploying AI systems to the general public, the goal shouldn't be to leave consumers in the dark about how AI works, the researchers say. "With the increase in Al around us, consumers should have a basic level of literacy to be able to understand when Al might have important limitations," says Tully. Perhaps the best approach is to try to educate consumers about Al in a way that doesn't completely eliminate their sense of awe or curiosity, the researchers say. Tully calls this "calibrated literacy" —equipping users with enough understanding to make safe, informed decisions without dampening their delight.”

A tuxedo cat and a gray cat cuddled up together. The gray cat is on his back giving a derpy look.
