This sick bleach shirt I made. Something to showcase my undying love for prehistoric cave art.

Some of the bleach burned thru the shirt bc this was my first time bleaching anything ever, but it kinda adds to it.

“Because the truth is, tech doesn’t have an image problem. It doesn’t have a message problem. It has an intention problem. What’s wrong with the axe murderer who broke into my house is not that he hasn’t successfully persuaded me to buy into his narrative. What’s wrong is that he’s trying to kill me with an axe. Similarly, when you launch a product that’s designed to put millions of people out of work, block access to sources of verifiable truth, replace human creativity with slop, and lower the barriers to every sort of atrocity, the problem isn’t that you haven’t told the public a good story about those things. The problem is that you are trying to do them.”

I usually let fiber marinate longer in the stash, but I was fascinated by the colors in this merino as soon as I saw it at the store.

See, I finally made the yarn store a hour away because I was halfway there for biking reasons. So many colors! What sort of mud would I get. After buying, I decided that I was going to spin one ply straight across the top, and the other by splitting the fiber lengthwise by color (as best I could).

I like it. I think you get both a coherent yarn, but variety in color in muted tones. It's 16 wpi, 275 yards out of 3.75 ounces. Hat?

Genuinely, I think the most publicly visible AI advance so far this year is how thoroughly and abruptly the "image generators can't do legible text" problem has beem fixed.

For those who haven't been paying attention, this is a recent ChatGPT output. It can do this sort of dense sensible text in images totally one shot, so don't rely on bad text to identify AI images any more.

[crypticspyder]

Was the text also generated? was it generated before, and given as an input, or was it generated with the image?

[not-terezi-pyrope]

The text was its own invention.

Here is the entire interaction that produced this image:

I've seen other people do much more sinister things with this! You can produce 100% realistic fake screenshots of news articles, tweets, that sort of thing, if you can convince the bot it's kosher to do so.

Potato Bracket

Ok, here's how we're going to do this

I have 49 potato formats. Some are similar, but I believe they are all different, if sometime only by one ingredient

As such, I will do 7 polls of 7 options each. This gives every option an equal shot at votes. The 32 options with the most votes will be seeded into a bracket

That being said

Pick a spud!

Kartoffelpuffer - shredded potato pancakes

Colcannon - mashed potato with cabbage

Champ - mashed potato with spring onion

Farls/potato cakes - mashed potato pancake

Dauphinoise - sliced in a creamy garlic sauce

Scallop - sliced in a cheesy sauce

Jacket - baked with toppings

Voting ended onJun 4

I will pay someone in likes and reblogs to go into the Dungeon Crawler Carl tag and reblog stuff that doesn't spoil past the second book for me (⁠◕⁠ᴗ⁠◕⁠✿⁠)
