Introducing a new repeat surface pattern Water's Surface. It has shapes and motifs inspired by my abstracted flood water painting, including the ubiquitous lozenges. It is available for purchase on fabric of your choice at Spoonflower: www.spoonflower.com/profiles/kam...

#RepeatPattern #Fabric
A detail of an abstracted repeat pattern that mimics the movement and reflective property of the surface of moving water. The pattern is made up of hand-drawn curling and undulating shapes in tones of blue, with a smattering of lozenges in pale blue as the top layer. A mock-up of how the abstracted fabric pattern representing the surface of moving water would look as sewn into a square stuffed pillow. The fabric is in tones of teal green. A mock-up of how the abstracted repeat pattern would look printed on an undulating piece of fabric aligned with a ruler on the top and bottom showing the measurement unit as inch. The pattern is in tones of violet. A mock-up of how the abstracted repeat pattern depicting the surface of moving water would look as printed on fabric for a blanket on a piece of living room furniture. The fabric is printed in tones of cobalt blue, with plenty of cascading lozenges in pale blue.

This is not the worst book we've ever read but it is the meanest episode we've ever done.

Episode 46: Sapiens

It's an ambitious goal to write the entire history of humanity in just 400 pages. It's even more ambitious to do it without reading any research.

We partnered with @pablo.show to investigate Riley Gaines' rise to MAGA stardom. @msjpauly.bsky.social dug up docs that reveal the right-wing funders behind her ascent and spoke to puzzled teammates who wonder what happened to her.

(this is a supportive QT) I have been getting these messages for 20+ years, and in last 2-3 years, they have moved from "innocent keen slight nutter" to "do not let this guy within 1000 ft of schools or zoos." People have become deranged with AI and an utter lack of mental health care.

I am by no means a prominent public intellectual, but my inbox is increasingly filled with messages from people who have been convinced by sycophantic chatbots that they have discovered revolutionary theories that entirely upend our scientific understanding of the universe.

Jos käytät hakutulosten tekoälytiivistyksiä, lue tämä

Vaikka tiivistelmät ovatkin käteviä, ne eivät ole ongelmattomia

Johanna Vehkoon analyysia lukiessani mietin samalla aiemmin uutisoitua tutkimusta siitä, että 250 tahallista väärää lähdettä riittää myrkyttämään kielimallin

#tekoäly
Kuvakaappaus Ylen jutusta, jossa on otsikkona "Analyysi: Tekoäly muuttaa Google-hakua perustavanlaatuisella tavalla, ja ensiseuraukset näemme nyt", ingressinä "Google tuputtaa hakutuloksissa tekoäly-yhteenvetoja. Näiden tiivistelmien tieto on monin tavoin ongelmallista, kirjoittaa toimittaja Johanna Vehkoo.". Ingressin alla on video, jolla näkyy Googlen tekoäly tiivistelmä, kuvatekstinä "Video näyttää tärkeät kohdat, joihin kiinnittää huomiota AI-yhteenvedoissa."

What’s the most significant advice you received from a teacher?

I had a Geology prof who always said “have strong opinions, loosely held”

Be passionate, assess alternatives with conviction, take sides. But don’t fall so in love with your opinions that you can’t change them with better data.

This, on top of environmental collapse, is why you should refuse AI. Refuse it because it makes the world worse for everyone else except the oligarchy. Refuse it because it destroys your ability to think and make decisions, and refuse it because it creates mistrust in almost everything it touches.

When AI is used to create images they do it with the full knowledge and intent on suppressing possibility. That's what you lose when you don't have human agency. You get someone else in charge of narratives that predispose others towards you before you even meet them.

It’s also a direct penalty for driving a sedan or station wagon when every third car is an SUV blasting its headlights at you at the exact height of your forehead

Driving back home from the post office, it seemed like every third car had brights on. Cannons of light blasting into my retinas. These are standard now! People tell me I should start wearing yellow-tinted glasses at night to cut glare. But should *I* be the one that has to adjust?

I wish we, like, regulated shit nowadays. Between car bloat, blinding headlines, and neighbourhoods packed with rental suites but no on-property parking, driving is an absolute nightmare now.

a year ago the idea of an artificial intelligence chatbot designed to make the richest man in the world sound like a renaissance man no matter what question it was asked would sound like the setup for a black mirror episode.

now its reality.

I like the citizen science aspect of this. People state a hypothesis (“Regardless of the facts Grok will claim Elon Musk is superior to everyone else relative to any metric users specify”) and then proceed to test said hypothesis. Choosing absurd examples is excellent Bayesian practice in this case!

It’s fun to think about the surgeon who will botch your surgery 20 years from now and what he’s doing at this moment. He just ran all his homework through ChatGPT. He just read that article about vaccines and autism at the CDC website. He just watched an Instagram video about the moon landing hoax.

Finally, I know of at least one case where the letter writer, deep into an episode of AI-induced psychosis, asked the LLM why scientists were not responding. The machine suggested that perhaps the scientists were trying to steal his discovery.

This will get someone killed sooner or later.

The letter writers are being convinced by LLMs that they have made monumental discoveries that they don't remotely begin to understand, not even to the point of being able to explain for themselves what they think they have found.

Of course I've received crank letters for decades. But there's a decided shift in the frequency and the tenor of what is arriving now. The LLM-induced ones are immediately recognizable as such.
