The image shows a living room scene with a calico cat lying on a beige ottoman. The cat has a black, white, and orange coat and looks at the camera with green eyes. On the ottoman, there is a black box with a transparent lid, possibly containing headphones, and a brown smartphone with a case. In the background, there is a brown sofa with a floral pillow and a white blanket draped over it. A fireplace with a white mantel is visible on the left side of the image. The room has a cozy and comfortable atmosphere, with a patterned rug on the floor. Provided by @altbot, generated privately and locally using Ovis2-8B 🌱 Energy used: 0.150 Wh

#Cats are weird.

#Caturday #Felines #LosGatos #LeChats #DieKatzen #CatsOfBluesky
The image shows a calico cat with black, white, and orange fur sitting inside a small white shelf unit. The cat is nestled on a pink cushion with a textured surface, peeking out from a cubby hole. The shelf has a woven scratching post on the left side and a stack of papers on top. The cat's eyes are wide open, and it appears to be looking directly at the camera. The background includes a carpeted floor with a gray stuffed toy and a cardboard box. The text "You're kidding" is overlaid at the bottom of the image.

Happy Caturday ! The image features a calico cat sitting on a patterned rug. The cat has a predominantly white coat with black and orange patches. Its face displays a distinctive black patch over one eye and a black nose, with orange and white fur around the other eye. The cat's ears are pointed and alert, and its eyes are a striking green. The cat is sitting upright with its front paws tucked under its body, looking directly at the camera. The rug has a beige background with leaf-like patterns in shades of brown and red. In the background, there is a wooden piece of furniture and a glimpse of a dark-colored object, possibly a piece of furniture.

The South Park season opener is an example of art reflecting life and human social behavior.
The image shows a social media post from a user named "milestogo13" with the username handle "milestogo13" and a timestamp of "1d" (one day ago). The post is titled "Trending: South Park" and discusses a controversy related to the animated series South Park. The post is divided into two paragraphs. The first paragraph states that the controversy highlights a difference between liberal and conservative comedy, suggesting that left-leaning comedy tends to understand the concept of "punching up, never down," while conservative comedy tends to equivocate all punching. The second paragraph criticizes conservative comedy for making fun of vulnerable trans people and then defending themselves by saying "both sides" when someone makes fun of the literal president. The post has received 135 likes, 135 comments, and has been shared and saved. Provided by @altbot, generated privately and locally using Ovis2-8B 🌱 Energy used: 0.190 Wh

Out of my three US Congressional representatives, the office of Senator Andy Kim is the most responsive to emails regarding my concerns.

The runner up is Representative Tom Kean Jr.

Senator Cory Booker's office can do better IMHO.

I saw this on LinkedIn this morning and had to chuckle 😄.
The image shows a white digital interface labeled "LinkedIn News" at the top, with a section titled "Top stories" below. It lists two headlines in black text: "Bosses are done being nice" and "Factories have a staffing problem." Each headline is followed by a timestamp of "15h ago" and a respective reader count: 51,566 and 9,463. The layout uses a simple sans-serif font against a plain white background, with no additional objects, textures, or decorative elements. The lighting is even, and the camera captures the image head-on with no visible shadows or distortions.

I discovered Hugging Chat's hosted Cohere LLM, along with the CogVLM image caption external tool and a well engineered prompt can automate alt text creation, automating what can be a tedious task when creating social media and blog posts.

New #LLM trends favor resource inflation.
There is something to be said about scaling down LLM implementations so they can run on consumer hardware to increase reach of #GenAI products and services to more consumers.
