anyway in case you don’t know it yet
The country's data-protection regulator has serious privacy concerns over the technology.
Not only is this true, Italy’s privacy watchdog fined OpenAI for 15 million euros in late 2024.
cure of ra
Now its blessing of Ra
"Sunburn will give you skin cancer"
Ra, God of the Sun
Fungus has done so much for humanity. Penicillin. Radiation cleanup. Delicious mushrooms. Deadly mushrooms. Psychadelic mushrooms. And now my boy RA has chosen the humble mold spores as his vessel through which to cure cancer.
DuckDuckGo's new search feature comes as the internet is being flooded with AI-generated slop.
The filter relies on manually curated open-source blocklists, including the ‘nuclear’ list, provided by uBlockOrigin and uBlacklist Huge AI Blocklist,” DuckDuckGo said in a post on X. “While it won’t catch 100% of AI-generated results, it will greatly reduce the number of AI-generated images you see.
Left: AI filter is off Right: AI filter is on
Another tip for DDG - if you want to permanently get rid of DDG's AI features (which you can turn off in settings, but only temporarily) - for now you can just use noai.duckduckgo.com as your search engine. Works as advertised in the name.
This is actually very normal human behavior. It's just that most people (in the USA) think "Jesus strengthens me" instead of "I am a pikmin, dandori time"
This is literally why stories and fantasy are so useful to humans. We cannot tackle every mundane challenge with enthusiasm, and facing against profoundly daunting tasks can be deeply demoralizing, and you don’t get to feel cool or heroic for filing 400 pieces of paperwork.
We arm ourselves with stories and fantasy, so that the laundry can become a charming hurdle to overcome, and the daunting stack of bills is the leviathan we the brave knights must slay.
Humans have always been like this. So many cultures have stories or mythology or even rituals about literally embodying another being better suited to the challenge one currently faces.
Stories are armor. Stories are fuel.
#elven culture dictates that the declaration of war must SPECIFICALLY be read and confirmed by the other party#so the elves decide 'fine we will... uh... teach the orcs to read???'#and of course those lanky weirdos immediately fall in love with the soft beefcakes#no war after all. AND orc-written romantic fantasy novels are a hit in the elven kingdom - via @urbeastprime
cracking myself up thinking about the movement towards simplified forms in cave paintings
grug: grug must paint every hair on buffalo in realistic detail
thog: grug can chill out, audience know what buffalo look like. just do one line like thog
thog: cave painting world no longer look for photorealism. expression of form and movement is new frontier
grug: but then how will grug demonstrate high level of skill? grug have art degree
thog: any caveman represent buffalo as it is. grug must represent what it means to grug
grug: hm. this will challenge grug. but grug enjoy rising to occasion
every time I see Urek my brain plays Jhon Cena theme song
Fragile, stubborn, promised our father on his death bed I would look after him, but when Paul’s mind was right, he was no burden. I loved him more than anyone on earth, and our daily stroll to St. Augustine was a measure of a good day started.
ANNE RICE’S INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE: In the Throes of Increasing Wonder

Louis tells Paul he loves him -> Paul jumps from the roof and cracks his skull open
Dreamstat tells Louis to show him the only way he knows how to love -> Louis slams Dreamstat's head against the wall and cracks his skull open
They're so sick for this
I don't like windows when they're closed, I want to fly where the wild wind blows.
