Bought some new 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… 🥲

I should be able to follow #Cara users from my Mastodon account. You can't convince me to make yet another account in a yet another silo, but I'd love to see and share more art in my home feed. Anyone have a connection to their team? Would love to chat about the #fediverse.

@davew RSS is not the same. I want them to know that I follow them, and to see my replies, and when I boost their art to my followers.

There's yet another open letter from the AI safety crowd. If they want more people to take them seriously, they need to get more specific

@caseynewton I think the people behind the letter unequivocally subscribe to the idea that the current LLM technology is a path to AGI. It's important to question that assumption. That's the biggest disconnect for me when reading it. Such an assumption directly serves the interests of OpenAI and other LLM companies.

I’ve got a new camera! Pentax KX. Unlike the Canon Ae-1 Program, it’s fully mechanical. Everything seems to be in working order, except the focusing ring being misaligned and rotating past infinity.

Earlier last month I was seriously mulling over giving up photography. Problems with my leg(s) and just a lack of enjoyment from recent trips had me considering selling my camera.

I decided to see how I fared on my holidays and see whether I 'got my mojo back'. I think a change in style, or at least broadening the types of photos I take might be the cure.

Will be interesting to see if others like my new direction......

@pgaskell Have you thought about trying film?

There's no good way to prevent AI models from being trained on art published on the fediverse. But there's work we can do to prevent it and protect the artists who post there. https://werd.io/2024/protecting-artists-on-the-fediverse

@ben I don't think this is something where looking for a technical solution makes sense. It should be illegal for AI crawlers to collect unlicensed training material, rather than requiring every website to keep up with an every growing list of AI crawlers that are free to ignore robots.txt.

“When I say ‘I am hungry’, I am reporting on my sensed physiological states. When an LLM generates the sequence ‘I am hungry’, it is simply generating the most probable completion of the sequence of words in its current prompt.”

@mgerdts About two weeks ago. There's definitely a lot of devastation, but the center of the park looks a bit better.
