@Techmeme yeah, that's literally how "AI" works. might be less noticeable in other instances, but nonetheless: they steal everything, mix it well, and sell as their own.

Visually spectacular "sculpted" supercell thunderstorm near Woodrow on high plains of eastern Colorado earlier today (6/8/24). This storm featured a blue-green & ground-scraping shelf cloud (& dust storm beneath) so wide I could not fully capture even with wide angle lens! #COwx

Someone predicted in the future the internet would consist of only chatbots trying to sell products to each other

Our blurry boys the other day. They'd been to the vet and had their worming treatment a few hours earlier so were feeling a little out of sorts. They were back to their usual hilarious selves by morning though.

Big tech has created a lobbying group, attempting to defend itself against infringement claims from artists.

They argue that Section 230 should be expanded to include generative technologies.

@haubles @devs The "instant" link continues to return a "Could not find requested event" error in Google Calendar.

After a terms of service update that infuriated artists, and an initial statement that poured gasoline on the fire, Adobe has made a clear statement about its new use terms.

Bought some new #FerraniaFilm to try out. There aren’t that many photos taken with this film on here or Flickr, so I’m not quite sure what to expect. Now I just need to go somewhere interesting… 🥲

@Gargron My go-to for initial information is the Darkroom, and they have some good comparisons to Ilford and Cinestill stocks:

@JustMeDevin ooh. Now I’m desperate to know if the Apple logo lights up like they previously did.

The only feeling I have about starship is dread.

They want to use that to launch batches of HUNDREDS of Starlinks at once. And guess where all those Starlinks will end up? The pieces that don't make it to the ground will end up in our upper atmosphere, screwing up the stratosphere, the ozone layer, who knows what else because SpaceX isn't required to do any environmental assessments of this.

Shit. Maybe a good time to post this essay I wrote yet again: theconversation.com/an-astrono

@sundogplanets What if we had legislation on the books that NASA or the FAA or the EPA had to do an environmental assessment themselves before they could grant approval? And that it had to be rigorous, complete and public? And that specific enviro standards had to be met before approval could be granted?

Muting this thread now because the mansplaining ratio has gotten way too high!

@jaz One thing I don't see mentioned a lot is how it's not constantly trying to steal my attention and take up more of my time. It's not trying to hook me.

All the big social media companies (even LinkedIn) will start making up new things to send you notifications like "here's what you missed" or whatever to make you open their app
