Damn. I was just starting to rebuild my physical catalog so I could get away from streaming.

Nice chill vibe. I dig it.

That kind of makes sense, since those areas probably have not prioritized state or local green initiatives. There is probably more opportunity to make a difference there when you are looking at the whole country objectively.

To be fair, I think extreme everything is messing with children’s mental health.

I’m sure that’s not how they’re being presented though.

These choices always pertain to marginal, almost negligible, concerns — simply because reliability at high altitudes is all about the margins — so their consequences manifest slowly. But their effects are cumulative and inexorable. “

Sometimes it feels like the EFF is the only one holding back the tide. Everyone should donate to EFF ❤️

It’s pretty terrifying when you think about the possibilities of deception. And also how throwaway content is going to become. We are going to generate content at a volume orders of magnitude larger than our already current excessive volume, and finding the stuff that has real meaning and a real message is going to be even harder.

Also, artists whose work and styles fed this will be put out of business without ever being paid for their work that was used to train these models. 🫤

How is it these laws can get passed but our legislatures can’t do anything that’s actually important for society? 

Missed opportunity to name these “energon cubes”
