I am now also on a new social network that is privacy focused, ad free, and a safe space to share. hey.cafe/r/bgryphon Developed in Canada, and mentioned by Tod Maffin (of the Healthcare Infusion project) so a strong Canadian presence.

I generally believe in 2nd or 3rd chances. However after WW-1 the Allies decided not to punish individuals. That +demands 4 $$ reparations contributed (very simplified) to WW2. Any @housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.senate.gov who waffles on Nuremberg 2, An American Story must be voted out.

NE1 get a screen grab of that GFM campaign that clearly violates the ToS before it was edited to remove reference to legal defense funds? Sure would luv to know if an employee their told them to change it rather than actually, you know, enforce their ToS.

In a convo with a friend they said that billion dollar lottery prizes reflect how a few million$ is no longer impressive. I calculate $100k would clear our debts, the taxes, and our move back to CDA. Perspective I guess.

Opinion | Pramila Jayapal is pushing for Democrats to return to Medicare for All. Thank goodness.
It's both moral and political common sense.

I've been working to reduce the presence of Amzn in my life- my spending there as well as income generation- since 2020. This year's update: deleted almost all aff links, de-listed all (except 1 title) my books, and spending limited to 1 item this year. Update: briangryphon.com/supporting-m...

The reverse(?) of the slow-boiling frogs parable: the slow-decent of expectations from 'striving for excellence' to 'goid enough' to 'whatever'
This hits on the real danger of generative AI: not that it can ever equal a truly competent and creative human's work but that its output can be middling enough to meet the frequently already dialed in expectations for mediocrity that are typical of so many sectors of modern life
As was true with the translators I heard from in an earlier edition, copywriters never felt that they were being replaced because the AI's work was better. It was almost always worse. It was simply cheaper and faster, and deemed "good enough" by clients.
