"Thatās what makes Zohran Mamdaniās election in New York so unsettling to the old order. New York City is not just another municipality; itās a sovereign-scale entity. Its population surpasses 38 states. Its metropolitan GDP trails only Texas and California.
It is, by any metric, a small country masquerading as a city.
It governs more lives and more wealth than most nations. If democratic socialism ā housing reform, public banking, equitable taxation ā functions here, it obliterates the myth that such governance canāt work at scale. The fear isnāt ideological. Itās empirical. Because if Mamdani can keep the lights on, reduce homelessness, and maintain economic growth without catering to Wall Street, then the capitalist gospel collapses under its own dead weight.
What terrifies the establishment isnāt failure. Itās feasibility.
If it works in New York, thereās no reason it canāt work in Nebraska. If it works in Queens, it can work in Kansas City. And once proof exists, belief becomes irrelevant. The ship of democracy, fully refitted, will keep sailing ā and no one can claim it isnāt American."

alright I've got to do some quick math to explain attitudes towards AI to my boss.
we're looking to create an AI policy, and when we were talking about this, my boss (older millennial) was genuinely shocked to hear that younger people do not (seem) to view AI positively (a la the recent commencement speakers being booed)
please rb for larger sample size!
Question 1/3
What is your age, and do you feel AI is a net positive or net negative in our lives today?
under 18, AI is a net positive
under 18, AI is a net negative
18-29, AI is a net positive
18-29, AI is a net negative
30-45, AI is a net positive
30-45, AI is a net negative
46-60, AI is a net positive
46-60, AI is a net negative
over 60, AI is a net postive
over 60, AI is a net negative
Question 2/3
How often do you visit or interact with museums/archives (whether in person or online)?
Frequently (multiple times per month)
Often (multiple times per year)
Occasionally (a couple times per year)
Rarely (once every couple of years)
Never :(
Question 3/3
If you saw a museum was using AI in exhibits, marketing, research, etc., would you be more or less inclined to visit that museum?
under 18, more inclined
under 18, less inclined
18-29, more inclined
18-29, less inclined
30-45, more inclined
30-45, less inclined
46-60, more inclined
46-60, less inclined
over 60, more inclined
over 60, less inclined
Thank you for helping with this data collection. Please rb for as big a sample as possible!

Somebody at work keeps adjusting one of the perimeter cameras to have this beautiful artistic angle on the museum in a historical building across the way. The sun sets just behind it and the whole sky turns golden-blue, clouds streaked across the sky above. The lush tree line beneath the museum is perfectly lined up along the rule of thirds and the building itself towers above, almost mythical in its evening glory. Like damn, take a still from this camera and send it to the museum to frame and hang on their wall. I do need the camera to be pointing at the parking lot. Tho
The setting sun bounces off the skyscrapers downtown and hits the museum's windows and every one of them turns the same golden hue as the sky behind, reflected in the trees just starting to turn golden-orange beneath. The bottoms of the clouds take on the slightest tinge of purple and birds circle above, speckling the evening sky as they call autumn's last farewell. Someone's car got broken into in the parking lot last week, Tammy, point the damn camera at the cars

I like it and I've definitely heard it before
I like it and it sounds familiar
I like it and this is my first time hearing it
I don't feel strongly about it or have a complex opinion
I don't like it and I've definitely heard it before
I don't like it and it sounds familiar

Goss Harag! Made of LEGO! Custom model by me with instructions for my supporters HERE!
I am slowly getting the rest of Rise's roster built and prepared for the collection. Just Almudron and Tetranadon are left!
Goss is a funny monster, and out of all the silhouettes I wanted to nail- the important one for me is the gangly abominable snowman look.
His lower body went through many revisions because people kept telling me to make him fatter. Thanks for all the support everyone! I got many more monster builds on the way!
ink animation based on my two rabbits and their ways of interacting

FINALLY got good photos of my sculpture final. This is my dog his name is Sock.
Look at my fish.
Text of tweet under the cut because it is loooong.
But... Stochastic Parrots.
This is the paper. It's excellent, highly recommend reading it.
I remember reading about Gebru's firing but I had no idea this was the paper she was fired over.
Just a quick grab for some of what's being discussed:
"4. UNFATHOMABLE TRAINING DATA The size of data available on the web has enabled deep learning models to achieve high accuracy on specific benchmarks in NLP and computer vision applications. However, in both application areas, the training data has been shown to have problematic characteristics [18, 38, 42, 47, 61] resulting in models that encode stereotypical and derogatory associations along gender, race, ethnicity, and disability status [11, 12, 69, 69, 132, 132, 157]. In this section, we discuss how large, uncurated, Internet-based datasets encode the dominant/hegemonic view, which further harms people at the margins, and recommend significant resource allocation towards dataset curation and documentation practices."
"6. STOCHASTIC PARROTS In this section, we explore the ways in which the factors laid out in §4 and §5 ā the tendency of training data ingested from the Internet to encode hegemonic worldviews, the tendency of LMs to amplify biases and other issues in the training data, and the tendency of researchers and other people to mistake LM-driven performance gains for actual natural language understanding ā present real-world risks of harm, as these technologies are deployed. After exploring some reasons why humans mistake LM output for meaningful text, we turn to the risks and harms from deploying such a model at scale. We find that the mix of human biases and seemingly coherent language heightens the potential for automation bias, deliberate misuse, and amplification of a hegemonic worldview."
Iāve fallen in love with her. Sheās everything to me.
The most recent Android update making it impossible to actually disable any AI features no matter what you do is surely a sign that this technology is the future and about to take off and make everyone SOOOOO much money that all the nay-sayers will be sobbing about how they were fools who should have listened and invested. Everyone knows you have a winning product if you have to uh *checks notes* trick and/or force people to use it against their will. Great job, everyone!
Just got the instructions out for my custom LEGO Shogun Ceanataur from Monster Hunter 2 Dos! One of my favorite monsters! Want to build one yourself? Support my project HERE to learn more!
So to explain the Cirno (Touhou Character); Back when I used to make Monster Hunter Video Essays (like the Monster Hunter 2 video), I would often (half jokingly) cite a picture of Cirno next to a crab in a strange desolate location:
To me, in many ways, this picture represents Monster Hunter's core aesthetics- the mix of cute flashy characters in an extremely hostile environment with giant monsters.
I've also got instructions for the variant models, Terra Shogun Ceanataur and Rustrazor Ceanataur!
Thanks for all the continued support everyone! I got many more models on the way soon!
