I’ve been running around asking tech execs and academics if language was the same as intelligence for over a year now - and, well, it isn’t. @benjaminjriley.bsky.social explains how the bubble is built on ignoring cutting-edge research into the science of thought www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

Preserving for posterity before I report this account, because this is hilarious and I can't believe this prompt actually worked. For the umpteenth time, LLMs are not true AI.

It’s worse than bad: he asked Shopify.
Carney’s “joke” is actually an admission that the government has no capacity to assess & implement digital economic policy (which is to say, economic policy). And instead of treating this as a problem to be solved, he’s cutting capacity further and turning policymaking over to industry.
Bad, indeed.

Looking up posts about Mount Fay because I need people to commiserate with, omfg #silksong why, and look what I stumbled on, some lovely art of the best NPC in the game (well, let's be honest, it's a tie with Sherma)
The Bell Beast! He's a goo-boi.
I have been working on a series of sticker designs and have made it my "project" to work solely with gouache. It takes longer to finish a piece w/ gouache than w/ digital, but it's so fulfilling.
Anyone else playing this game? I'm stuck on Mount Fay right now.

In light of last night's news, I want to emphasize these two things.
We DO have political power, but only when we WORK DAMN HARD FOR IT. Get out. Join organizations. And do not stop now. Campaigning happens once, politics happens every damn day.
Be happy now. Your body, mind, and heart need that.

It's actually insane that the feds are promising to put more than double the amount of money they're putting into childcare, into AI.
Why not just set it on fire and dance around it hoping to sway the gods to our favour?

The entire right-wing propaganda machine came after Zohran Mamdani.
The president and his allies came after him.
Democratic leaders, by and large, did not have his back until the last minute.
He still won, turning out historic numbers and inspiring young voters.
His politics can win anywhere.

Listening to the Ensemble Montréal candidate for Pierrefonds talk on CBC about PM not listening to constituents is tragically hilarious, their party was literally voted out 2 elections ago in part because of Coderre's attempt to force through that disaster of an electric racing event

Very early in the night for MTL municipal elections results, but sounds like Ensemble Montreal already has a substantial lead for mayor. Not surprising, but still... fuck. Soraya is the worst, and doesn't even live here (moving here in June absolutely doesn't count)
