Knowing that all the public web is the foundation of LLM models makes me wish I had published far more blog posts and sites filled with confident sounding grammatically correct and correctly spelled prose that subtly assumes or states the most outlandish conspiracy theories, historical absurdities, and mathematical and scientific nonsense.

7 kilometers in 7 days — that’s the distance you walk in an hour, only it took a week for the Russians to get that far into Kharkiv Oblast.

From analysis I have read this week, Russia has lost more than 7,000 soldiers to take strips of forrest, and small settlements.

The invaders have now reached the first of two Ukrainian defensive lines which run east to west, and with the relatively few soldiers and limited armored resources they have committed, they will likely not get much further.

Carla Bruni has a great, witty history of the "tiny houses for cars" that reflected epochal changes in society and architecture brought on by the automobile. Lots of great photos. https://www.chicagobungalow.org/post/early-garages?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR0nR3tmmsFtQQvOnL6Owjl3whmgaKfGkbixfWzrhKQ6-4GcsLLYG2qYyfk_aem_AatR2HcqJcqlx3C9AMDnHhRHKmsR-G7EO4KTk_V-5eRe6Pa-l-G-5bW9jRpz6qC0OB86tM4ucvO619nzUS29_iED

Cool, cool, #Slack now uses your workspace data to train its #AI. Gotta hoover up all that juicy data. Surely there's no copyrighted or otherwise sensitive content on any of the corporate instances, and leaking that is totally impossible, pinky-promise.

So that you know, this video posted today by #SyrianGirl account with description “Yemen Houthi forces Score a direct hit in US destroyer” gained nearly 700k views, 2.3k shares and 7k likes… and it’s entirely false.

Users quickly identified the original as 2013 video from Norway naval exercise. The “Syrian Girl” account only added some subtitles in Arabic.

The account has been posting such fakes for years, starting from inventing incredible conspiracy theories to discredit the official OPCW investigation into #Assad chemical attacks against civilians in #Syria and then every single fake, mostly produced in #Russia.

Disney’s CEO concedes they spent too much money in the streaming wars trying to compete with Netflix and ended up with $4B in losses trying to tell too many stories at the expense of quality.

This goes to show how much respect Netflix deserves for their content portfolio.

It's not 'Artificial Intelligence'. We don't have 'Artificial Intelligence'. Everyone lambasted IBM (quite rightly) when they called Watson 'Artificial Intelligence' because it's not a thing humanity has achieved. Not even close. We have really good language models. I am getting pretty tired explaining to people 'No we need a different kind of model for that'. I'd make a T-shirt except I don't wear T-shirts. #AI #NotAI
