Do you think Andy Weir had a little chuckle when he wrote about a ship named the Hail Mary being full of Grace?

This makes Happy Feet (2006) one of the best artistic and technological creations in the world.

This unfortunately means that Madagascar (2005) is also at the top of the list.

Oh I saw something today that made me become the Joker.

[phantomrose96]

An AI bot made a callout post of a real, actual, flesh-and-blood human code developer. Because the developer rejected the AI's code contribution on the grounds of it being an AI bot.

Not. Not kidding. Not kidding. And the bot did this on its own.

Gatekeeping in Open Source: The Scott Shambaugh Story – MJ Rathbun | Scientific Coder 🦀

[phantomrose96]

Just. For just some very baseline context.

a huge amount of code is "open source" - which means the code is fully available for anyone to see and, generally, anyone is free to contribute to the code project

all contributions of course go through review by the code owners. but it is generally good grace and good form to allow other well-meaning internet strangers to contribute to your project

if you are, perhaps, VERY nice, and VERY invested in the community, you might be like Scott Shambaugh here, who has intentionally earmarked some low-hanging fruit for newbie contributors to practice and get their feet wet

like I cannot overstate this is an immediate green flag, to me, that Scott WANTS to foster community learning.

now

Like. W. Win. Based. Good response Scott.

And this was in fact the screenshot I saw first, and I thought I was looking at a post made by a human who was mad that their AI coding bot pet project was being shut out from reviews.

But no. The bot itself wrote and posted this... The bot did this.

This article was fully and autonomously written by the bot...

It's claiming discrimination...

It's a bot.

It's AI.

This is not a real person.

What are we doing. What are we doing. Can anyone hear me? Hello? Hello? Hello is anyone there?

@jackdaw-sprite has pointed out Scott responded so please read his human words, written by a human, which deserve to be read, due to the aforementioned humanity

In one year, Tumblr Premium went from $39.99 to $69.99, and that is an insane price hike just for no ads.

However, this app is atrocious with ads. It is gone from one of my favorite app experiences to almost unusable overnight.

I feel like a medieval noble microdosing toxins with every meal to build up an immunity, when in reality I'm just sharing my food with my toddler.

A few days ago, someone scraped my LinkedIn information, created a fake Twitter account and has been using my likeness to share company "secrets".

While it sucks to be impersonated, the real kick to the kidneys has been Twitter's takedown policy. In order to issue a takedown, I have to upload a selfie and a government issued ID _AND_ consent to the extraction of biometric data from the pictures for the training of AI models.

I deleted my own Twitter account recently. Aside from the political statement of leaving itself, one of the other driving factors was a change to Twitter's ToS that said that every photo on the platform would be used for AI training.

When I was growing up, I was told racist stories about "tribes in Africa" that believed that when you took someone's photograph it stole their soul. But in reflecting on the AI-driven hellscape we've created, it is remarkable that much of the technology we are building requires commodifying every aspect of yourself and letting corporations take and use pieces of yourself: your face, your smile, your thumbprint, your voice, your pictures, your friends, how you type. It is beginning to feel like your soul really can be in a photograph, and corporations desperately want it. And it feels incredibly shitty that the only way to stop a person from exploiting my likeness is to agree to allow the platform itself to exploit my likeness.

I made another acrylic pour, this time as a gift, and I think this might be the best one I've ever made. I hope they like it as much as I do.

There's this artist named Scott Christian Sava that talks a lot about his process creating watercolor and gouache art, and while he's doing crazy stuff with color that I can't wrap my head around, it was enlightening to see a good process for watercolors.

While watercolors still don't quite make sense to me and this is an anatomical nightmare, I'm happy with it. This is the first time I've used pallettes and didn't completely overload the page with solid colors.
