@EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu How about responding with strong recommendations for cutting consumption, instead of continuing to let that be overruled by "but what about the economy?"

@Natasha_Jay I was born in '75 and have the same scale, but today I experienced a weird reversal when someone mentioned a car being over 50 years old and I immediately thought "oh, so the eighties". I hope it's not a brain tumor.

@davidgerard@circumstances.run local models. It's already where LLMs make "the most sense", and I'm sure there will be a wave of hype once "Gen AI is around the corner" stops convincing investors. It'll be "streamlined Lean AI that knows Your Business and doesn't talk about goblins!".
Thing I hate: keeping rows instead of excluding because I forgot to include a negation.
Thing I really hate: flows that don't error out with the absurd data caused by the thing I hate, but keep working, giving with puzzling results.
Currently rewatching House MD. Thought "what has Jennifer Morrison done since then?"
Checked imdb. Oh. Right. 100+ episodes of Once Upon A Time, like my wife told me a week ago when I wondered the exact same thing.

@ZachWeinersmith I never thought doing programming for proteomics would one day make me the guy annoyed at the scientific imprecision of a comic strip, but here we are. Fortunately my expertise is so surface level I can tell myself I'm probably wrong and also it doesn't matter even if I'm technically correct

@mothninja@beige.party That palm tree appears to be actively launching coconuts at the people! Or it's so windy the people should already be sheltering from the approaching hurricane.
@jessamyn I went with "how I sleep at night", but the truth is none of them. "Browser history" possibly. But I understand why you didn't include that.

@randahl@mastodon.social Maybe he is, but Pence briefly spoke up after J6 too, and we know how that went. I'll need to see action from Rs with actual power before I believe there's a turn towards sanity there.
#Firefox made the icon for their fake? VPN the universal symbol for "close this crap"? What the actual f!
Sometimes @degroof@mastodon.social 's Obscurdle throws me for a loop by having a solution I don't think is obscure at all!

A bit on the nose that this AlbertaTech video causes a glitch in the YouTube app on my smart TV.

@Popehat "So I asked ChatGPT if the first amendment applies to dogs and it said yes. That can't be right, can it, Ken? No, both these donuts are for me, why do you ask?"

@EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu How are you going to prevent this being another "do you consent to cookies" or California's ubiquitous lead warning situation? Media are already tagging articles with "AI was used to private this article and fact checked by journalists" as currently (mis)used there will be a sprinkling of AI everywhere, like rat droppings somewhere with an infestation.
A much better focus for the EU would be to stop feeding the hype machine. The current AI future sold by LLM VC funded juggernauts is not inevitable, plausible or desirable. The EU having AI strategies including funding for local riders on the bubble is a massive waste of money and a business own goal.
