#hudsonvalley — Public Fediverse posts

Someone may have met their bitter end… there were quite a few feathers around. On a hike in Fahnestock State Park in New York.

"It's a simple, beautifully balanced spiritual jazz meditation, where less is more, ego was left at the door and which promises a long player that I'm sure will be worth the eight-week wait."

The exhibition includes paintings ranging from still lifes and landscapes to abstraction, surrealism and imaginative narrative work, alongside photography, digitally blended imagery, collage, pottery, porcelain painting, prints and shadow boxes. The result is a show filled with contrasts, unexpected connections and many different ways of seeing.

Lots of gentle thunder rumbling through the #HudsonValley. I love listening to it, even though it freaks the dog out.

Tried to cut the grass earlier but the self propel on my #ToroRecycler crapped out (again). Had to push the heavy machine through tall grass before the rain started. Now my back hurst. I really hate the Personal Pace feature, the stupid belt slips off more times than I care to admit. I miss the disk drives on the old #Snapper machines.

#SamAltman and others at #OpenAI are trying wicked hard to convince folks that they're all about saving #Nature... Buying #JackieAndShadow's home and now this... Um, sorry Sam and friends. It doesn't make up for the #NoisePollution, #WaterPollution, pollution from #EnergyConsumption , etc. for the #AIHouseOfCards... But folks are seeing right through that!

#OpenAI flew influencers to a #NatureResort to fix its image. The internet called it #greenwashing.

OpenAI flew a group of influencers to a $2,000-a-night wellness resort to warm up the public mood around #AI. Days before a reported $500bn #Datacentre deal, the internet called it greenwashing, and the creators got the backlash.

August 4, 2026

"The event, branded 'Summer Camp,' ran at Wildflower Farms, a resort in New York’s #HudsonValley where rooms can top $2,000 a night, Business Insider reported. Creators posted farm-to-table dinners under bistro lights, a beekeeping session, and classes on OpenAI’s tools. They went home with branded canvas bags and jars of honey.

"The videos were soft-focus and lighthearted. The comments were not. Across TikTok, Reddit, X and Instagram, people called the trip 'dystopian' and accused OpenAI of greenwashing. One commenter told TechCrunch the issue was timing: '#TheWorldIsOnFire. It’s not a great time to brag about your $5,000-a-night suite.' "
