The ‘I have half a talk now’ stage of talk writing is hard. It's probably going to be okay, I tell myself, but it isn't yet. 😱

Imagine Microsoft stopped spending money on AI and start putting it into making copy/paste work in their apps.

Scarlett Johansson says OpenAI approached her to use her voice long before it was released. She said no and they still took it. https://www.npr.org/2024/05/20/1252495087/openai-pulls-ai-voice-that-was-compared-to-scarlett-johansson-in-the-movie-her

Now, in a blog post OpenAI says: “Sky’s voice is not an imitation of Scarlett Johansson” https://openai.com/index/how-the-voices-for-chatgpt-were-chosen/ But their CEO even tweeted the word “her” as a way of announcing the voice.

post truth much? this company just keeps on grabbing what isn't theirs

my German isn't great, but I understand and love that they can use words such as ‘arsch log’ on election posters

@hdv Een Arsch "log"? Is dat een log van je toiletbezoekjes? 😉

The European Parliamentary Elections are during CSS Day so I've just arranged to vote in Amsterdam (with Kiezerspas).

This is an important vote. Collectively we've got to cast a lot of votes on parties that are not extreme right, and (personal opinion) prioritise very ambituous climate policy over nonsensical anti migrant populism.

@sarajw pfew you me too

went to double check but seems we're not doing this all on one day and NL is during css day and DE is after, pfew

@hdv @sarajw The idea is that the election can be on traditional election days in individual countries. I already have my vote-by-mail ballots here (it coincides with 6 local elections, too).

“Inspiration porn is the portrayal of people with disabilities (or other uncommon life circumstances) as being inspirational to able-bodied people“ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inspiration_porn

(yes this is a subtoot of the “AI”/BeMyEyes video that they forgot to add captions to)

Would pay to be able to turn off the AI stuff in “Teams (work or school)”. It's uneccessary, wasteful and nonsensical.

“Over events in your ankle”? Sorry, what?

It looks like I might be in the US while AIR are touring with Moon Safari so was checking tickets.

Turns out pop music tickets are pricey there! Same show is €47 in Amsterdam, ~£100 in London, ~$400 in LA (resale but still). Yay government-subsidised music venues.

@nhoizey apparently a common complaint was they never played much from that album so they're now doing a tour with just that album plus more

@hdv ok!

And of course Paris is already sold out… 😕

I saw them in 2001, but most songs were from the “10 000 Hz Legend” album.

Oh, just found the set list: https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/air/2001/elysee-montmartre-paris-france-4bc9534e.html

Hit this Excel bug where it will display weekdays, except if you choose certain dates, on which it will just display a bunch of #'s. (Turns out, they only appear when the text doesn't fit)

in excel, a person changes date from tuesday 28 may to 29 of may, at which point the cell doesn't display the wednesday, but merely a series of #'s
