there are lots of tragedies in this tragedy, but that Artie will never get to see Lou compete is really up there. Lou could use a vocal fan. Artie would love to see her go.
my first quick pass at Louetta in her igote (Japanese mounted archery arm sleeve). the sport she competes in in this udon western rodeo has the echoes of a yabusame portion. don’t worry, it was a surprise to her lil gf too.

Slight clarification to my last post:
It's more accurate to say that text is appearing in Google searches that neither I nor the cosplayers pictured wrote. It's mediocre and sounds as if an LLM was involved.

Whether it's generated by Google or Instagram is unclear. But it's problematic either way.

Today my hairdresser friend, who was sitting behind me, asked “Are you growing your hair out or do you need a haircut?”

When I said the latter, he told me to come see him at work lol. Yes chief, right away chief.

If you run across a gen A.I. slop 🤖💩 diagram in an academic journal, I’d love to know about it! Please fill out this form:

Slop in journals is illuminating about journals’ quality control. And journals would like you to forget their mistakes.

Use this form to share graphics (e.g., figures, covers, graphical abstracts) made using generative A.I. that have appeared in academic journals. The plan is to compile these slop graphics in an ope...

Wow can't believe the relentlessly advertised thing no one asked for that does a bad job at what it claims to do, uses a ton of resources, gets pushed into every product and makes them worse while also sometimes talking teens into ending their own lives is somehow failing to capture people's hearts.
Three years into the generative-AI wave, demand for the technology seems surprisingly flimsy
Investors expect AI use to soar. That’s not happening
Recent surveys point to flatlining business adoption

The scene now at Lafayette and Howard, diagonal to the ICE garage which activists remain camped out in front of on both sides of the building.

I am *not* keeping track of all the millennial it-men hollywood is trying to establish. Thought maybe I vaguely recognized Jacob Elordi’s name because he played one of the Bridgerton brothers before starring in Frankenstein. But no, that’s a whole other man…..

Okay so did anyone else think for awhile that “Wicked for Good” was some sort of charity fundraiser involving the Wicked franchise

Device…hoarding. Because you don’t go get a new one while yours is still fine.

Apparently I am also practicing car hoarding, house hoarding, husband hoarding, dog hoarding, computer hoarding, furniture hoarding and art hoarding.
stupid young people, stop buying a new phone every year if you don't want to be broke. wait no, not like that.

Marge from the church breakfast committee is about to go John Brown on this fascist rent-a-cop and meanwhile Eric Swalwell and other Congressional and Senate Dems want "masks off and badges out", the nice middle ground.

The fact that anyone, anywhere, ever, that gives a fuck about diamonds/rubies/etc. actually CARES whether or not their stone is natural or lab grown is the ultimate testament to human irrationality.

Please do not feed personal information to chatGPT. Please do not tell it where you work and live and how to get money from you.

They know that TurboTax is easier than doing it by hand and cheaper (mostly) than going to an accountant.

That accountant had to sign ethical standards. ChatGPT can’t.
TurboTax is about to be integrated into ChatGPT, where customers will be guided through tasks tied to their tax filings or financial profile by the AI chatbot.

TurboTax owner Intuit is also paying OpenAI more than $100 million a year to power AI agents.

I just went to clean some fanfics from an old fandom out of the to-read section of my ao3 bookmarks, but then I read their summaries and thought… well those sound fun. Maybe at some point I will read them after all.
