  1. "Garbage In Garbage Out" applies to a lot of things.

    🥧 Pie.
    🐕 Puppies.
    🏛️ Politicians.

    But this post is about generative AI.

    We've already reached the point where the internet is more bot than human, and AI slop trained on human creativity is growing exponentially (along with its power requirements).

    You see, generative AI has two main features that make it particularly effective at producing garbage: It has a high output volume and it doesn't give a fuck if it's factually wrong (sounds like most politicians and marketers actually 🤔).

    So, to put this in lay-terms...

    AI is like your new puppy. You feed it a nice diet of curated posts, it does cute-stupid things that are fun to post pictures of. One day you decide Mr. Sprinkles is ready to be out of the kennel when you're not home. You leave for several hours and return home to find that Mr. Sprinkles has been hoovering down everything in the bathroom waste bin. Not only that, but at some point the lil' rascal ran into the bedroom to hork up half-digested tampons and tissues on your duvet.

    You look on in horror as you realize that the waste bin must've been emptied the moment you left the house, and grotesque puppy hork is littered around *everywhere*.

    But it doesn't stop there. You hear slurping noises and turn around just in time to see Mr. Sprinkles happily recycling one of the previous piles of puppy puke. You stifle a gasp as you cover your mouth. How long has this cycle been going on? How many times has that tissue gone through the puppy—two, three, a hundred? At this point it's long-since been rendered into homogeneous slop (though you think you recognize a kibble or two and the edge of a Tampax wrapper).

    Alright, now imagine it's not just one puppy—it's an exponentially replicating litter of dalmatian puppies with IBS. And it's not just one waste bin—it's the known universe.

    Eventually *everything* will be amorphous puppy hork.

  2. @cfiesler The generative AI CEO's were so concerned about hypothetical far-future potential problems such as Roko's Basilisk that they ignored the informational gray goo that they're creating in real time. Chatbots are the solution in search of a problem that are the problem.

  4. George Winston had a significant connection to Windham Hill Records. In fact, he played a crucial role in shaping the label's musical direction. WHR was founded in 1976 by guitarist William Ackerman & was known for its acoustic instrumental music, often featuring artists who blended elements of folk, jazz, and classical genres.
    Here is Barbara Higbie: "The Waiting Song."

  5. Mitch McConnell freezes up at news conference.
    The difference between Dems & GOP is we are empathetic towards people & wish no one harm. If this had happened to President Biden or ANY Democrat the GOP would be ridiculing them & hurling insults. Although I disagree vehemently with McConnell I don’t wish him ill will.
    The 2 parties are not the same.

  6. “All I ever wanted
    All I ever needed
    Is here in my arms
    Words are very unnecessary
    They can only do harm”

    Probably The Words that define the 80s more than anything else.

  7. Here’s another gem I stumbled upon while surfing the tube.
    I know we’ve heard this tune over a million times already.
    This live version comes across as intimate and sweet.
    The band is A-Ha. An Eighties phenom that is one of a kind.
    The song is “Take on me”.

  11. The @[email protected] and @[email protected] met ahead of @[email protected] v @[email protected] at Kenilworth Road to celebrate Rainbow Laces 🏳️‍🌈

    We spoke to two of their inspiring members, David and Jacob, about why championing diversity and equality in our game and wider society is so important...

    David Stronell from the Rainbow Hatters:

    “Groups like ours are important, because we want to help make everybody feel included. It doesn’t matter where you’re from, your race, your creed, your sexuality, everyone should be welcome to go to a football match and enjoy it.

    “I think Rainbow Laces brings everybody together. It gives us the opportunity to engage with fans and remind everyone that we still have these issues.

    “I hope in the next 10 years we won’t need Rainbow Laces. I hope by then that the need for it has gone.

    “If somebody from the LGBTQ+ community is reluctant to come to a Luton match, I encourage them to get in touch with us. We will help and support them, it’s one family here at Luton Town.”

    Jacob Jefferson from the Gaygooners:

    “If anybody doesn’t feel welcome at a football match, we’re all doing something wrong.

    "Groups like the Gaygooners provide a community for fans. We sit together, we socialise, we create a wonderful environment where everybody feels valued and included, no matter who they are.

    “Rainbow Laces is a reminder that football is welcome to all fans. A lot of people say ‘Why do we need to do this every year?’, but it’s important because things are still happening that make people feel unwelcome and uncomfortable, and that’s not fair.

    "Who knows what will happen over the next 10 years. I think we just want more of our fans to feel welcome - to not feel like they have to hide themselves.

    “We’re a group that’s open to everybody, not only members of the LGBTQ+ community. People who love football, and for whom football is a massive part of life. We want to be a part of the Arsenal and football family."

  13. @Jake_Vig Just in case you were not fond of what you got as a present this Xmas season: Cheer up. A mere 365 days separate you from finding out what your present will be next time around. At first 365 days may sound like such a long time, but you must thank the heavens you’re on Earth and not on Neptune where 1 year equals to 60,190 days. Happy holidays.
    BTW, for the record, the above statement was part of a post I posted on #Post.News earlier today:

  17. Another interesting find while scrolling through current events in the world today. I came across a brief 13-minute interview Seth Myers conducted on his Late show featuring comedienne Eddie Izzard. For the record, never heard of before & haven’t even seen any of her performances. Pleased to report it was a very well spent 13 minutes getting to know, up close, what genuine is:
