K. This is creeping me out.
My ear buds gave out. I'm looking around for spares, talking about where are those ear buds...
And then within less than an hour, I see a "Deal Alert" from Amazon about earbuds.
I'm sticking the phone in a drawer or under a pillow or a cushion when I'm not using it from here on out.

The new Vera Rubin Observatory will make the most detailed time-lapse images of the universe ever created. It will map dark matter & dark energy, and identify millions of transient cosmic events.
Incidentally, it will also create breathtaking images. First looks, just released:

Massive #telescope will map the #universe and provide an evolving record of the Solar System and distant #stars.
The #Rubin #Observatory will map the entire southern sky every 3–4 nights, observing each spot around 800 times over its 10 years of planned operations.
Eight science collaborations will sift through the data it produces, each focusing on different questions, from mapping the history of the universe and its dark-matter contents to tracking potentially dangerous objects in the Solar System.
The observatory will also capture an unprecedented number of transient and variable astronomical events in real time — stars whose brightness changes unpredictably, for example, and those that explode or suddenly disappear.

Spain calls for suspension of EU-Israel trade deal
Spanish Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares said on Monday that he will urge the foreign ministers of the European Union to suspend the EU-Israel Association Agreement immediately, Azernews reports.
"If the Association Agreement is based on human rights, then it's the most normal thing that we suspend it immediately today and move forward. That is why I will ask for the suspension of the agreement and embargo on selling weapons to Israel, as well as sanctions to everyone who wants to be a spoiler to the two-state solution," Albares stressed at the sidelines of the European Foreign Affairs Council in Brussels.

Great little video by John Oliver about AI. One thing he did not get, however, is that also the comments are likely AI generated...
Now you can have a discussion about the usefulness of AI for all kinds of stuff, but to me is is disgusting that Meta is deciding to feed their users this stuff. When it comes to social media, I would think that most people are interested in what their friends have to say or what people they follow have to say. AI generated content is not that.

AI hallucinations can be nice, you can use those to create images that would have been hard to make otherwise, but the "better" image generators become, they more useless they get for making something really far out. Videos of people randomly morphing into one another, losing limbs, objects melting into people's bodies or growing out of them, man, those can be really trippy! Also, strange surreal scenes with rainbow coloured people with melting faces, I really like those. It's getting harder and harder to get anything decent like that out of current AI models. If you prefer cute mass-produced kitsch, you can have some of that rendered for you, but it gets boring very quickly. The real problem is that AI can generate spam that bypasses any spam filter, and it takes only a small number of spam operations to flood the entire Internet.
The problem is not the existence of this technology but the world in which it exists. A world in which all kinds of idiots are desperately trying to make as much money as possible by any means. A world where giant corporations are trying to sell us all kinds of shit. A world where fascist bastards and religious nutters are trying to flood the media with their propaganda.
These are low-resolution screenshots from Vera Rubin Observatory images with 40k pixel width.
The amount of detail is staggering, as is the width of the sky view.
