The difference in utility between the use of ML to tackle big data problems that would otherwise be intractable & the use of LLMs to produce pointless slop is so large they cannot both be usefully described as “AI“. The first is making real progress, the second is dragging us towards the abyss.
I‘m far from an AI doomer, but it is amazing how many serious voices — on LinkedIn, no less! — are sharing stories about how AI slop is quickly becoming one of the top problems they see in academic writing and research “AI will 10x our research!” doesn’t seem to be surviving encounters with reality
That's why I was so happy to find @mholiv.bsky.social's GPN workshop! A minimal but complete game written in up-to-date, idiomatic Bevy, utilizing the latest features and conventions in one concrete example! And most importantly, a guided tour! codeberg.org/mholiv/gpn-s...

Someone should write a story about a curséd device, lusted after as a transformative source of power, that renders its users unnaturally youthful long beyond their time
Elijah Wood and Ian McKellen will return as Frodo and Gandalf in The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum — more than 25 years on from when Fellowship of the Ring released, and now director Andy Serkis has said some level of digital de-aging will be used. https://bit.ly/4fxOKI3

glad congress isn’t alive to see this
There were two entities: America 250, a bipartisan organization chartered by Congress, and Freedom 250, a Trump-backed group. Companies intending to donate to America250 were supplied routing and account numbers that directed their funds to Freedom 250. wapo.st/4fe4Whs

So he's gonna advocate for all people with depression to get four months off for rehabilitation, right? And he's gonna tell RFK jr to fuck off with his quest to limit the medication that Kean is very clearly taking to be functional?
Rep. Tom Kean finally speaks after months away from Congress for a previously unexplained absence: "I was given the diagnosis of depression ... the doctors recommended I remain in the hospital to address my illness"

This is the University of Central Florida. So many people really have no idea how much kids hate this shit.
this graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive. when you're inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn't.

I highly recommend putting this NASA #Artemis II mission livestream on and just leaving it playing as you go about your weekend. Live views of the spacecraft, occasional visualizations of the current config, views of the control room, space-ground radio audio. www.youtube.com/live/m3kR2KK...
