@piquant00 "Twitch Channel" is what I call social media as a whole.

@sfleetucker @sjvn I used to and thought about that but...alas. Moved.

So Conde Nast which owns Ars Technica and a big bunch of other web and magazine stuff sold it's content to an LLM miner; predictable. Retroactively. Wow! Including comments and forums (which are prolific). No notice, no choice. Wait what?
I've subscribed for 13 years: well, it was a good run. Cancelled payment.
Oh but wait there's a chaser: Can't delete an account. Not possible. @sjvn for interest.

@XSGeek yeah these days generative AI (e.g. LLMs and MLLMs) have crested the hype curve. But really interesting stuff is also happening with ML and analytic AI like the breast cancer detection someone here linked. I think anomaly detection and prediction are cool but apparently that's just me.

@Opusworks it was new but also a mashup. Had elements of the Hill We Climb and some others.

@ecksmc Hallelujah. Kudos. That's braw.

@Boyceaz @redenigma each one is different. uhmmm off the top of my head cereal milk, charcoal lemonade, oh one was kind of like forgotten memories.

@redenigma Everyone's wrong. Those are Bubblegum Unicorn spores. You can chew on them*, the taste is between unicorn and pepto bismol.

*No

@redenigma I think I would just run.

@sfleetucker being a billionaire is immoral full stop. Everyone housed? Fed? No?

@CJLavoie Hard agree. Last night she used a potent rhetorical device, i.e.; started with a personal account of her relationship with her mom; shifted to Harris as the subject; shifted to audience as subject. So the audience inherits a deep feeling and associates it with Harris. Clever. Then a call to action.

I thought Barack was all over the road, but all he really had to do is show up and throw in.

Budanov said Putin could expect deeper strikes; he wasn't kidding. “Eleven drones were destroyed” over Moscow and its surrounding region, the defence ministry said.

“This is one of the largest ever attempts to attack Moscow with drones” -- Moscow mayor Sergei Sobyanin

Can't wait to see them spin that.

@DevinY1 CSpan has the recording

@gshevlin nope, just lurk and ambush. Never swim.

This is a CEO talking? Where's the wishy washy?

"You know, I usually don't like getting in front of the camera. I prefer that our products speak for themselves. I really fucking hate generative AI. I don't like what's happening in the industry and I don't like what it's doing to artists. We're not going to be introducing any generative AI into out products." --Procreate CEO James Cuda

US 19th Amendment was ratified Aug. 18th, 1920 after, "almost all of the major suffrage organizations were united behind the goal of a constitutional amendment." And Woodrow Wilson changed his position to support it.
