“Love the earth & sun & animals,
Despise riches, give alms to everyone that asks,
Stand up for the stupid and crazy.
Re-examine all you have been told
at school or church or in any book;
Dismiss whatever insults your own soul;
& your very flesh shall be a great poem.”
~Whitman

A lucky moment when late morning sun illuminated lifting fog and created this illusion of the tree being struck by light.

I'm exhausted by all the people out there who are trying to prove they're each the most cynical world-weary disillusioned person who's not gonna ever do a fucking thing ever except dump on everything and expect to be admired for that. Wrote about that in 2016:

Tycker ändå det är jävligt sjukt att detta ses som en OK ljusförorening eftersom det är Malmö FF det handlar om. Förstör för djur och natthimmel för att de ska ha riktigt gräs att leka med på vintern? Rimligt www.sydsvenskan.se/2025-01-19/m...
Mystiskt sken över Malmö

“I hold the most archaic values on earth ... the fertility of the soul, the magic of the animals, the power-vision in solitude.... the love and ecstasy of the dance, the common work of the tribe.”

For the Children
The rising hills, the slopes,
of statistics
lie before us.
The steep climb
of everything, going up,
up, as we all
go down.

We are the legacy of 15 billion years of cosmic evolution.
We have a choice: We can enhance life and come to know the universe that made us, or we can squander our 15 billion-year heritage in meaningless self-destruction.

lmao no, TikTok users are not moving to Bluesky. They would literally rather learn Mandarin than learn how to read a feed of text posts. This is a millennial retirement home.

Predictive text models do not ever "answer your question"
They predict what an answer to your question would probably look like.
Which is very, very, very different

I don’t think it can be emphasized enough that large language models were never intended to do math or know facts; literally all they do is attempt to sound like the text they’re given, which may or may not include math or facts. They don’t do logic or fact checking — they’re just not built for that
Unfortunately, it repeatedly offers incorrect answers for straightforward math questions. 🧪

Varför kallar man detta "promptografi" lol. Det är ju liksom inte direkt svårt att göra sådana här bilder.
Det finns liksom någon slags misconception att det skulle krävas värsta svåra avancerade promptsen för detta när det bara är att skriva typ "läskig häxa som skriker"

Även om jag hade önskat Mastodon blev alternativet så är jag genuint förvånad över hur många, särskilt vänsterinriktade, journalister som är kvar på tidigare Twitter. Nästan skamligt tycker jag
Jag vet att många journalister känner sig tvungna att hänga kvar på X för att det varit ett viktigt verktyg för dem, men jag skulle vilja göra ett case för varför det är en bra idé att flytta över hit istället. Tips/argumenttråd, 1/12
