"I think my dog just leveled up..."

Photo of a dog lying on their side on a rug inside a house. Behind the dog is a glass sliding door, covered almost completely by a heavy opaque curtain. There is a pattern of refracted rainbows encircling the dog.

picture of glenn danzig with a definitely very authentically attributed quote that reads: real worms don’t have any bones, but gummy worms are gelatin made from bones which means gummy worms have more bones than real worms.

A black and white dog in a striped body suit.
Our vet recommended that we get Uly a post-op body suit to prevent him from picking at his surgical scars, which allows us to avoid using a cone.

It works better than I expected, and now he looks like a man from the 1920s about to head down to the beach for an egg cream and a swim.

Part Time Job

A black and white photo meme made to look old-timey. Two women sitting at a wooden desk, ostensibly at a job interview. In word bubbles, the interviewer says “We’re looking for someone who can do the job of two men.” The interviewee then asks “Oh, so it’s only part time?”

Betty | Gerhard Richter

Gerhard Richter based this painting on a 1978 photograph of his 11-year-old daughter. Betty turns away from the viewer, possibly toward one of Richter’s own monochrome paintings.

At work today we received an inquiry from someone that was horribly misinformed, making a demonstrably false assertion. When we asked her for the source - thinking we needed to correct an error on our website - she sent us a screenshot of a Google AI summary.

We are all in such deep shit.
ardgedee pro 20 hours ago
@BennyTheIcepick Yeah, the other day on another forum somebody posted a question about the provenance of something they wanted to buy, and that Google AI had told them it was particularly high quality from a particular Japanese craftsman and bla bla.

I did a quick search and established that, as far as the English language web goes, there's no craftsman in Japan by that name and that most of its verbiage was basically riffing on the brand name "Fine" on the item's label.

He replied, cough cough, I believe you are presumptuous, and as proof provided two more full page screenshots of text from Google AI continuing to riff on the word "fine" and that nonexistent Japanese craftsman.

I'm not actually certain I would begrudge "AI" all that much if it wasn't for how gleefully millions of people have lazily decided to make it their ultimate arbiter of reality.
stereoplex pro 20 hours ago
@ardgedee Not to worry, I feel very confident that the business interests that run AI won't allow anyone to covertly exploit the underlying code for selfish reasons.

Every business knows that trust is the paramount concern for brand longevity.

There are multiple "suspicious" images near the VA border and near Atlanta that were nowhere near a storm may be the meteor streaking across the sky/impacting, so it'll be cool if they do verify one of them as having captured it!! (Multiple reports and satellite images at different times may also suggest it's space debris, however. Still cool!)

Update: preliminary reports a "small" fragment hit Georgia home

Fun tidbit! A colleague once quite happily told me he liberally sprinkled citations of my work throughout his papers because, "Anybody familiar with your [admittedly awful] writing won't stop to look it up and will keep reading," like I'd be *so pleased* to hear that.

(tbh I did think, "Ohhhh that's a good strategy, too bad it'd be gauche for me to do the same.")

Nothing like a good backhanded compliment!
BennyTheIcepick pro Yesterday
Not because your work is bad, but because you have such a strong grasp of the material, and such a compelling way of explaining it, that in order for someone to muddle through his esoteric hogwash, your brilliant prose and unimpeachable methodology is a prerequisite.
williwaw pro Yesterday
@m3moellering *cough* Errrrrr no, I hate to brag but I'm *infamous* for being the worst technical/academic prose writer you'd ever read; I'm so terrible that it's impossible to get any blind peer review of my work because people in my field recognize the awful writing before they even get out of the introduction. (And if the writing doesn't give it away, the amazing lack of copy editing (grammar/typos) will do it, even though I legitimately did try.)

The only peer review comment that seared me to the bone - and now imprinted in my DNA - was from a "recommend against [publishing]", and it was, and I quote, "Your science is as bad as your writing." Way harsh, Tai. Could have just said the data was suspect and the conclusions not supported by evidence. Geez.

Luckily I have other skills!!

@BennyTheIcepick Yes.

Abstract composition. Off-white background, black lines. Grid of concentric rectangles, adding one nested rectangle per line or column, until it becomes a square in the diagonal. On the left of the diagonal, the rectangles are wider than taller, the opposite on the other side. The biggest square is in the bottom-left corner, the smallest one is in the top-right.

brailler

A Perkins Brailler machine, a sort of industrial looking machine with six levers, two buttons to either side of them, one big looking button in the middle and another thing that maybe moves the paper? It says PERKINS BRAILLER on the front and there's a small label that says it was designed by David Abraham, Howe Press and built in Watertown Mass.

There is a local book/record store that opened near me which is much hipper than anything that has been in town before. They have cool records, cool books, and they repair old stereos. They also have some neat ephemera and stuff on shelves. This is a Brailler, for writing in Braille.

I was into it because I grew up near Perkins School for the Blind in MA and we had a family friend who worked there and I'd go there and visit her sometimes. For a rural kid, growing up actually having met blind kids and having even a loose idea of what their lives were like was pretty interesting. I now refer people to Perkins' website whenever they have questions about alt text. It was fun to see this bad boy on the shelves, even if only as a curiosity.

My best friend from law school is blind. When I was applying for clerkships, we got the clever idea to use one of these machines to type out the cover letter for the application to one of the judges who was blind. Alas, it didn't work, but it was fun (and I got a gig with a very good judge anyway, so all's well that ends well).
