Chicks grab ya breasts Dudes grab ya chesticles
A new piece I’ve been working on for a show, “Loreleaf” watercolor and ink on Masonite
Yes and: the Guard are not the issue. Bored 20 year olds we can handle. ICE and FBI and whoever else staffs the snatcher vans are more worrying. No hard border.
Reading John Le Carre and the Soviets are nonstop beefing with each other and shooting their best agents so, uh, yeah

LOTS of great art tonight at Bad Art for Good!
It's, like, cheese scraps. But also, this is my new "I want to be an astronaut"

I'm sure SAAS marketing teams will have extremely reasonable, highly ethical reactions to this. :/
Empire of AI by @karenhao.bsky.social is VERY MUCH worth your time. Meticulously researched and incredibly well-written, it exposes the ecological and labor exploitation of an industry that needs to be regulated. Or dismantled. Labor Day is a perfect day to start it. bookshop.org/p/books/empi...
Yet another laundromat #art #ocs
Diagnostic ML has been around for a couple decades and is not a large language model or "genAI" in any sense.
Yeah this is a bad take. A cheap screening that funnels a very few people into a more definitive screening is good. In this context 1/3 of candidates being real detections is fine. I suspect if this didn't have "AI" in the title no one would be writing about this at all.
[long drag on cigg] fuck yeah
Ok so this apparently is a bathroom being renovated and "throw a trashbag of moldy drywall out a window rather than walk it out through the Lincoln Bedroom" is sadly plausible
Watching xAI ask for political purity under the banner of objective truth from an ML model has been the comic relief plot of this season.
Right, and you've got product decisions interacting with emergent stuff (most significantly, accuracy) in ways that's hard to test in a lab.
Not exactly. The behavior layer of being a helpful question answerer is built quite deliberately in post-train. Completion models don't do that without humans wrestling it out of them.
Yeah, I think we are aligned on the tech, you articulate this well. In addition: GPT-2 landed into laps of ruthless fundraisers Altman etc like a AK-47 in a Revolutionary War platoon.
Heel turn moment, post GPT-2 when chatgpt was trained to have back and forth conversations. Completion models don't do that without post-train. This was a product decision, made very early.
A refinement of this point might be that the ELIZA effect (eg humans projecting sentience onto, like, pencil erasers with eyes drawn on them) is a known vuln in the human psyche and chat models are a weaponized exploit of this. VC money unlocked faster than we have *ever* seen.
1980 included "T cell" and uh I kinda lost my spirit for a bit
Gonna start leaving these signs on empty tables everywhere
Can you share some examples of this? Is this purely a genre setting / aesthetic or are these books going long on what Heidegger says about DOGE
You gotta know when to walk away. You gotta know when to run.
I've crashed enough startups to know there's a brief moment of high energy chaos at the end I call the "silverware phase" Named after a screaming fight over the dispensation of cutlery circa 2010.
Hell yeah
finished
The last card for the Vampire's Tarot has been turned in. 78 illustrations completed this year for my fifth and final tarot deck. My wrist hurts ⚰️ Hopefully I'll soon have news from the publisher about release dates, so stay tuned

The thing we are doing is Online Content and everything else in the world is just a flavor pack
Middle school parents pack up to hold out until 8th grade. Social penalty for being last with texting is believed to be large, and probably is. So they go in waves.
I give you tsundere schoolgirl Watto
"Strawberry" - my oil painting, 24x30 cm
Speculation: Trump is sick. Trump is told he needs a major surgical procedure. It is unpleasant. Vance is briefed. Three day weekend, calendar cleared. Trump always chickens out. Trump is still sick. No one knows what to do.
Substack wants to pipe payments through Apple. It's a handcuff.
How exactly would he know what the roadside event was about unless he was, an, uh, interested party somehow? Like, pile up accident, multiple injuries, police already on scene. And he is talking to people after? Nah.
I attempt to explain to writers that the entire subscription business is a list of subscriber emails and an agreement to run a credit card number. Every other piece you can rebuild. So if you can't port those things, someone else owns it.
...because 75% of the IL hospital systems that provide youth trans care stopped doing so. Which you can argue with for various reasons, but that's the methodology.
Don’t know who needs to hear this but I do indeed have prints of my illustrations available! www.inprnt.com/gallery/acid...
Not sure why you’d broadcast this particular disdain. Is this a bit? Are we owning the libs?

Keeping my eyes peeled for this one! I love Chicago’s street art!
Chicago keeping art alive:
And by deranged, I mean specifically: poisoned by hatred, immorality, insecurity and a shitload of amphetamines.
Using Nazism as the big bad in popular fiction has blinded us to the historical reality of deranged and incompetent people who did terrible harm, but in every direction and ended alone in the bunker.
It costs $0.00 to support a art deco artist!!🌃
Someone has to be the first

Someday I'll tell the story of trying to pull a school based COVID test result app out of a death spiral but I think it's too soon. Still.
Lol, deleted a post because I misread the above. carry on!

Oh see that's "classical machine learning" and those squares with their phDs have, like, no followers on LinkedIn. Fossils, really.
I used to know a guy who knew a guy. If that guy had known a third guy I think we could have fought Facebook in an alley and won

If sexy Watto is what this f*d up universe needs to right this timeline, then sexy Watto is what it gets.
My zero value conspiracy thought is that they had the secret procedure room ready, saw The Socials and cancelled a surgery. I'm sure it's fine!

Did the visual designer give the dark blue "no change" group 10x more area than the "worth less" light gray group because... they felt like it?

I will not refute that crime rates have risen in Doomkick City, but this rag put out by the police union is utter garbage…

If this is an argument to primary every member of Congress and see who actually shows up, then we are in perfect agreement.
Just come back from seeing Jaws in IMAX. A perfect film.
