@dieworkwear.bsky.social Dumb question: what about a collar gap without the jacket.

With Jamie Dimon out there lying about wage stagnation, I'm reminded of what @mattyglesias.bsky.social said about his message discipline: Dimon is never foolish enough to talk about the issue he actually cares about: lower taxes on the rich.

Oh yea, gotta try some movies

I tried a straight-on version of that photo, but I'm not sure I prefer it.

Amazing end to the episode this week @matt-levine.bsky.social

Waited the whole episode to understand the title, but it was a satisfying answer.

What a great metaphor on the AI Summer podcast @deanwb.bsky.social is quoting Aidan McLaughlin, I have no idea if it’s accurate, but it got the point across.

Folks discussing this on Manifold think it won’t actually happen, apparently something about it being part of the “high seas”

Not that I approve of the guy, but Tom Cotton said that yesterday. I was honestly surprised he’d break with Trump so loudly.

You literally said “no mention” pre revolution. I’m not making an argument about Tea Party. If that’s what you’re arguing now…

Look, I’m not going to argue that “taxation without representation” was definitely the true motivation. But saying the complaint didn’t exist pre revolution is flatly false. Here’s letter from a Pennsylvania Farmer VII, published in January 1768.

I was wondering about the source reporting, looks like it’s from FT: www.ft.com/content/9118...
Intelligencer has an excerpt, pictured

Wait a minute, are journalists illegally colluding to suppress market rates for sources?
That would be a very funny lawsuit

Of course, this would not do anything about artists who are already creating completely artificial images as art and are now threatened by generative AI. That seems like a much harder problem.

The best I can think of is to count all modification systems the same, and actually have images contain metadata indicating which parts are from an underlying photo. Have the cameras cryptographically sign the original photo pixels somehow. (this is just replace color, no ai)

My main use case for generative ai images has been as a really good clone tool. I wonder how to think about that for credit... As a percent of the image? I could have done this with clone tool, that was my process last year, but it's slower.

Six months ago it didn't do nearly this well, I can at least see value if improvement continues.

I'm sure parts of this are wrong, but I also couldn't do any better without doing a bunch of research. Full text in the alt.

It's good that the US has had such strong GDP growth and low unemployment despite the terrible economy.
