Boxes of Roses and Whiskas for kittens,
Discounts on kettles and M&S mittens
That lovely young man who sang "fried onion rings"
I think non white people can advertise things

Me too, especially as the AI thing was "no jokes".

Despite the headline it’s not George RR Martin personally going for them cos he’s rich and famous. It’s all of us.

The test case used his work, but it’s about the plain-as-day issue that ANY generative AI ignores and infringes copyright, by passing off.

That’s a win for basic law.

Judge rules George R.R. Martin and other authors can sue OpenAI for copyright infringement

• Said ChatGPT generated 'Game of Thrones' content similar enough to infringe copyright

• OpenAI’s motion to dismiss was denied

Once upon a desert sandy
As through winds the trav'ling man he
Spied the face of Ozymandy
Lying, simply lying there
Suddenly there was some writing
Pon the plinth that he was sighting
That the sand and time were blighting
Quoth the statue, "Now despair"

Nick Pettigrew @nick-pettigrew.bsky.social · 14h

There was an old man you could gaze
At his works in despair in a daze
If you looked upon them
And were mere mortal men
'Ozymandias mighty', it says

I am describing my politics as “arachno-communism” from now on

So, what are your political views?
I'm an arachno-communist!
Really, how old- wait did you just say "arachno?"
OH SHIT

What if Friends but all the men are sort-of-Ross, at the same time, and there are seven of them, and his sister can twist her whole spine 180 degrees while picking up a guitar for no reason at all? That's body horror, not comedy.

Why did nobody tell me about Resident Alien before? Lashings of Tudyk and a sprinkling of Fillion. SO funny.

Oh, god, it's awful. Two thousand people all wasting their week, every week, without compensation and most of them never get called at all. There HAS to be a better way.

I too must have missed the sign describing Ellis Island as "a warning from history".

When you think about it, it's kinda funny that a party calling itself "Republican" is opposed to a movement calling itself "No Kings".

"Grokipedia pages... have no internal linking, have no photos... There is zero insight into how any of the articles were generated, how information was obtained and ordered, any edits that were made, no version history, etc."

As a researcher, I'd say that all of the important parts are missing.

Grokipedia Is the Antithesis of Everything That Makes Wikipedia Good, Useful, and Human

Grokipedia is not a 'Wikipedia competitor.' It is a fully robotic regurgitation machine designed to protect the ego of the world’s wealthiest man.

I want REG to do that in ADR for an alternate Withnail ending. He is at the zoo, after all.

Starmer could get his approval rating back up by simply quote tweeting Musk’s civil war rubbish with the words “Fuck off, mate”.

He and Bezos have also both amply demonstrated they completely missed the point of many SF books, particularly Iain M Banks'.

Halloween is almost upon us so I'm going to post some MONSTERS! Here's one of my contributions to the themonsterproject.org, a project where kids create hundreds of monsters & artists from all over the world put their spin on them.

This was 2017 & the original artist is Reagan!

#monster #3d #art

A 2d colour pencil drawing, a green monster with a red tail, blue and red horns and multiple eyes is in the centre of the page, with a bright yellow moon and black night sky

A3D CGI interpretation of the previous image. Exterior, night in some woods. A father and their kid are sat around a campfire, the kid is excitedly reading from a book of monsters and the Dad is looking up in terror as a giant green monster with multiple eyes bursts out from the bushes

We absolutely did have control over our affairs in the EU, more than most others, and exercised a lot of power over them. Scotland, on the other hand, is by design limited in its powers. It's a parallel that just does not hold up under anything but cursory scrutiny.

The fact that I thought about you twice yesterday, first in an "not seen him around lately, is he OK?" way, then in relation to the Mamdani aunties stuff means you are valued and missed. Give Dusty scritches from me.

If anything a succession of hard men, such as Boromir and Faramir, threaten to fuck up the whole scheme with their own belief that they know better than the Hobbits.
