Talk about silk purses from sow’s ears!

I take my 13yo episodes, some of which we recorded over Skype and sound pretty janky, run them through ’s , isolate the voices and process them through the tool, then re-integrate it replacing the original voices and it actually sounds pretty good.

AI tools have their place (just probably not as information repositories.)

(Needless to say, I don’t have the original master recordings anymore.)

One of the reasons we should be specific when we complain about generative AI.

OK, who's playing Patreon bingo? I got my first smack on the wrist.

It is for an story which was posted on Patreon at the end of last year. Before their guidelines changed.

So yes, they are applying their new rules retroactively. Naughty past me! Should have been able to see the future!

And the reason they've removed it? They think it portrays 'real sex acts with real people.'

Story in next post, I'll let you lot judge.

People will tell you that Subscribestar Adult is an alternative, but their payment policies (they want bank account information) is a red flag for many people. If they are ever hacked, things could go very badly.

OMG I found the setting where I could triple the size of the lil arrow thingy on my laptop and HOO BOY I did not realize this was the stress relieving hack I needed so badly. I've wasted SO many brain spoons trying to find the lil thing. This is awesome!

Draftsmith just released the results of a survey of ~500 language professionals on .

"The number of people who have little or no use for AI vastly outweigh the early adopters. Fear and cynicism outweigh the optimists."

"AI may be good for bringing low levels of language skill up to mediocre. But beating professionals at their own superpower is far harder."

Those were a couple of lines that jumped out at me. Find more at https://draftsmith.ai/blog/the-complex-truth-about-ai-and-language-professionals

@grammargirl

Fear and cynicism (i.e. feelings) are the only reasons to reject LLMs?

That says a lot.

There's this thing where an American (it's almost always an American) takes something that's generally considered racist in the US, and takes it to the country of origin of the diasporan people it mocks, and asks the folks there whether the thing is okay.

Those people, who are part of the dominant culture in their country, look at the thing and either funny or at worst innocuous. The American then concludes that the thing can't be racist because those people think it's not a bad thing.

Don't ask members of a dominant culture whether something that mocks a subculture (i.e. subordinate culture) is bad. Ask members of the subculture. If they tell you that the thing mocks them, believe them.

Recognize that diasporan subcultures are not the same as the cultures they come from.

Someone needs to open a BDSM dungeon in London with perfectly ordinary rooms that folks otherwise don't have access to.

So aside from "Kitchen with a sturdy table and enough room for two people to use it comfortably"

What other rooms would the dungeon have?

OP: I need recommendations in niche fiction podcasts.

Me: Here’s a collection I made of shows in that specific niche.

OP: Rad!

r/podcasts mod team, hours later: No ur bad removed.

[sigh]

I will eventually be banned from the r/podcasts subreddit for being too helpful, I guess?

Screenshot of Reddit mod telling me my comment was removed because it’s self-promotion.

@evoterra

I mean, you were promoting your website.

And the moderators don't like whiny "But you let HIM do it" situations. So I understand where they're coming from.

In future, maybe send direct messages?

What is emotional labour?

nobilis,
@nobilis@smutlandia.com avatar

@Tattie

Emotional labo(u)r is the work necessary to maintaining relationships, including romantic, domestic, and employer/employee relationships.

Examples of emotional labour:

Active listening
Counseling
Consoling

Voting democrat is like taking out the garbage. It's not pleasant. It's not fun. It's not going to add bedrooms. It's not going to fill the fridge.

But if you don't do it, the place starts to stink.

Take out the garbage AND work to build a better house.

I found out about the "Murder on Sex Island" podcast novel from @evoterra and I'm hooked.

The author and narrator, Jo Firestone, doesn't seem to have an easily discoverable social media presence or I'd tell her directly.

Am I the only one that sees a fairly clear distinction between generative AI ("Computer, write me an essay" or "Computer, create an image") and non-generative AI ("Computer, show me the grammar errors in this essay" or "Computer, remove the red-eye from this image")?

Because I see a lot of people saying "Oh, what is an isn't AI is such a complex issue, we can't possibly make distinctions" and I think we can.

    In light of events related to a certain submarine, we should probably not simply extend the moratorium.

    @mekkaokereke@hachyderm.io avatar

    If the US government really had alien bodies, then the US president would know about it.

    If the US president knew about it, then Trump would know about it.

    If Trump knew about it, he would have told everyone, bragged about it, kept boxes of documents about it at Mar-A-Lago, etc. There would be a ketchup stained original photograph of an alien autopsy on the floor of his bathroom.

    Since we haven't heard him brag about having seen a photo of an alien, we know that he hasn't seen one.

    nobilis,
    @nobilis@smutlandia.com avatar

    @mekkaokereke

    I think the only potential flaw in this argument is the first line; I think if the president doesn't think to ask, if he's so focused on himself and what people can do for him, he might not ask, and an intelligence administration that knows about steps 2, 3 and 4 of your argument would just not say anything.

    Potentially. I think this is persuasive, but not ironclad.

    Judge Cannon announced the schedule for the trial of Donald Trump and Walt Nauta with the jury trial starting on May 20, 2024. Read the order: https://www.lawfaremedia.org/article/trump-classified-documents-trial-set-for-may-2024

    Popehat, to random

    May 2024 is a very reasonable, perhaps a bit fast, trial date for Trump’s case. Don’t let people who don’t know what they are talking about tell you otherwise.
