The most undervalued invention of our times might be this one. It's a tool for thinking about the ethics and impacts of our inventions, such as AI

Dear power companies, if you won't do grid storage, at least let everyone with a battery so part of the shifting for you

Europe faces surge in negative power prices as solar output grows

Sweden, the Netherlands, Germany, Spain, and France have each logged more than 500 hours of negative electricity prices this year, driven by excess renewable generation and volatile weather.

Compared to that orange poison cake, there is nothing wrong with you, I bet.

Let me edit that for you: "Unfortunately I have been a chronic give up-er"

NaNoWriMo started yesterday, seize that peer pressure, if you wish and let yourself become someone who doesn't quit!

Many other cool authors here too, e.g. @scalzi.com @stephenking.bsky.social @patcadigan.bsky.social

The first one has interesting things on neurodiversity. The second on reality and society.

And I could pretty much also recommend every book by @gregegansf.bsky.social while I am at it.

Of contacts but not unique contacts. Friend groups and families imply a strong overlap in the contacts people have.

Isn't the Oath of Enlistment that? Though in the same breath it mentions obeying the president.

The caps halved, flat with medium heat, so they stay pale but turn buttery. The result is a sort of mushroom carpaccio. Have not tried serving with capers and Parmesan flakes yet.

You are the second person I see in this convoluted conversation saying there was only generative AI there. Are we looking at different summaries?

Screenshot of an online article "48 Hours Without A.I.

It's everywhere, as the author learned the hard way while making as little contact as possible with machine learning and generative artificial intelligence.

An earlier wave of manufactured videos.

"5 things you should never share with anyone"

Around a year ago I watched one from Brene Brown. Today I learned that the text was same as in the Oprah video below.

Find the friends and mentors you can trust offline and let them support your plans.

Not all algorithms are ML. This is more akin to saying one will avoid padel sports and also avoiding kayaking.

Lynoure Braakman @lynoure.bsky.social · 5d

Did you actually do that? My experience was just people smiling and telling me "It's this one" or "you are on it" or "it's somewhere close by, not sure where", but that was both different city and different time

Mostly it was an Amusing Thing. Intense conversations about things that matter pretty little, like and so far everyone has been civil about it!

Actually, thanks for helping me categorize it clearly as a Good Thing!

I hope you'll get to recharge soon

Everyone afraid of mistakes should at least once stand on the main road of a town, asking the locals "Excuse me, where is <main road>?"

It's eye opening!

I feel like I am back in the good old USENET times 😊

Machine learning is not labelled AI because it's not AI. It's digital clockwork, programmed by whole teams of people working together to error-correct, and trouble-shoot mostly in real-time.

True. If you developed your own map app and shared it with the world, do link to it, so it gets the visibility it deserves.

Cambridge Analytica, Tesla autopilot, facial recognition systems are also not considered to be AI by any normal person? The United Healthcare denial scandal was also deemed not to have been AI after all?

UnitedHealth uses faulty AI to deny elderly patients medically necessary coverage, lawsuit claims

Families of former beneficiaries claim UnitedHealth's AI system "aggressively" rejected claims for medically necessary expenses.
