TIL that a jockey by the name of Frank Hayes died of a heart attack during a race, then won. Posthumously.
While alive he had never won a race. If he had lived only a few minutes longer, he would have.

There's some really gross hypocricy on Fedi regarding AI by computer scientists/ tech enthusiasts who are vocally critical of some aspects of generative AI for appearances, but who are actively benefiting from the AI bubble professionally, and talking out of both sides of their mouth.
There is also some gross classism in the decrying of people's intelligence who are using it to take shortcuts (as if they are the problem, not the wealth-class or hypercompetitive neo-liberalism).
I think we are making a mistake listening to half-assed criticisms from uncredible sources while focusing on the users of generative AI, instead of directing our ire at the tech industry itself.
There is a complete lack of accountability from the tech world to begin with about all the decisions that led us to the AI bubble.
It is just one of a long string of disastrous failures (#enshittification) and framing it as an AI-only issue, or an issue of degrees ("I know how to use it ethically!"), evades responsibility for the decades long growth of tech-surveillance capitalism.
AI is the logical endpoint of early 21st century tech, and criticisms of it need to be grounded in criticisms of the tech industry in general. #AI #Tech
AI isn't a bubble quercus
LLMs are a generational advance in computer science and cybernetics. there's nothing faddish about them.
AI, or synthetic intelligence or general intelligence - whatever you want to call intelligent machines - have only to become somewhat more imaginative and specifically motivated to be indistinguishable from most articulate, intellectual humans.
those scientists aren't being hypocrites: they're voicing the same dismay at the use of GPT etc. to produce so-called "slop" as most folk.
but they're better informed with respect to the broader applications of machine intelligence - which of course pre-date chatGPT etc. - and are more positive, and no doubt excited by, the future of the technology.

"Minutes after the perpetrator of the shooting at Annunciation Catholic Church in Minneapolis last week was identified, YouTube appeared to delete several videos they had shared that morning.
But not before the videos were downloaded and reshared in full on X.
Within hours, the platform was flooded with wild claims about the shooter and her motivation, with everyone from Elon Musk, the site’s owner, to the head of the FBI and left-wing activists posting half-baked allegations blaming anti-Christian hate, transgender genocide, and white supremacy. Many of the posts racked up millions of views per X’s public metrics.
While other social media platforms were also used to share unfounded claims about the shooter’s motivations, X, under Musk, has become the perfect platform to supercharge the spread of dangerous disinformation during breaking news events. The entire team tasked with tackling disinformation on the platform was first culled years ago, and now X's biggest users claim they are incentivized by the platform to share out-of-context clickbait content over verified facts."

approaching trans women like you want to keep it secret from other people in your life invokes a very specific image of who you are and what you want. and i have no respect for it
sure, maybe 1 times in 10 even though it quacks like a creep it is actually just some toad. but why should i care, i would rather avoid the 9 creeps than finding out yet again i don't like hanging out with toads. they're like little turrets when they try to move and they usually try and avoid me by jumping into my foot. annoying
In that it makes my leg feel worse.
But offers a pretty solid relief from the leg injury.

Ok, internet detective squad, help a sister out. This poster hangs in the office of a friend’s wife. So far, none of us have been able to discern its meaning. Reverse image search has been of no help. The puzzle solving part of my brain is screaming at me because I know I’m missing something so obvious I will be embarrassed when it is revealed. So, embarrass me already!
I have STRONG opinions about the IB program, as implemented in Ontario. But it's still much much better than the bullshit that's AP in the US.
My daughter did AP, and I thought it was going to be like the A levels. But instead, it was an insane workload, and when talking to universities, not a single one counted it as college credit, which was the whole "selling" point of the classes. She was so burned out by the experience I had a really hard time keeping her from dropping out of school entirely. I have strong opinions about the AP program. ;)

“Contemplation” (2018) by Powerfaith
This track leans hard into the Christian side of Naga rock—no surprise, since Nagaland is the most Baptist place on Earth. But what makes it special is how it weaves in touches of indigenous melody and rhythm, folding that heritage right into the rock foundation. It’s faith-driven, but still unmistakably Naga.

"As detailed in a yet-to-be-peer-reviewed study, coauthors Petter Törnberg, AI and social media assistant professor, and research assistant Maik Larooij simulated a social media platform that was populated entirely by AI chatbots, powered by OpenAI's GPT-4o large language model, to see if there was anything we could do to stop social media from turning into echo chambers.
They tested out six specific intervention strategies — including switching to chronological news feeds, boosting diverse viewpoints, hiding social statistics like follower counts, and removing account bios — to stop the platform from turning into a polarized hellscape.
To their dismay, none of the interventions worked to a satisfactory degree, and only some showed modest effects. Worse yet, as Ars Technica reports, some of them made the situation even worse.
For instance, ordering the news feed chronologically reduced attention inequality but floated extreme content to the top.
It's a sobering reality that flies in the face of companies' promises of constructing a "digital town square" — as billionaire and X owner Elon Musk once called it — where everybody coexists peacefully.
With or without intervention, social media platforms may be doomed to devolve into a highly polarized breeding ground for extremist thinking."
