AI Slop isn't a bug, it's a feature.

"We studied more than 70 different elections that took place in 12 western European countries over several decades, and found that when mainstream parties take more anti-immigration positions, it leads to more support for the radical right, not less. [...] When progressive parties imitate the right, they weaken their own electoral prospects."

Recuperando un post inavvertitamente cancellato (e mi scuso con chi aveva già letto e risposto). Proprio per agevolare quella che sarà la mia graduale uscita dalla dipendenza da Meta, da qualche tempo ho riattivato il mio blog, che nel corso dei suoi venidue anni di vita, ha di certo conosciuto fasti migliori. A volte ho l'impressione di parlarmi allo specchio, ma bisognerà pure difendere la cittadella: questo il mio ultimo post @internet @prealpinux

ciao Floria, ma sai che ero arrivata alla tua stessa conclusione tempo fa? Solo che i blog hanno problemi reali di visibilità. Però anche io avevo sentito il desiderio di esprimere i miei pensieri senza scatenare rosse digitali. Ma se blocchi i commenti su Fb , l algoritmo non ti spinge. Inoltre non vengono più proposti tanti post come anni fa perché ogni giorno vengono caricate milioni di post per cui è più difficile farli girare. Il troppo stroppia si dice.

@Let66 ciao, ne sono consapevole, e infatti, a parte facebook, uso altri canali. Su facebook resto perché trovo ancora, in una rete costruita in tanti anni, informazioni e spunti. Per ora, almeno. Un tempo ero sicuramente più ossessionata dai numeri, dalle visualizzazioni etc. Ora comincio ad apprezzare il “pochi, ma buoni”.


As Catherine Milner suggests:

'the national curriculum seems designed to regiment & quash any nascent creative spirit, rearing generations that are materially & culturally illiterate'.

The anti-arts bias of our political class has patterned education in the UK for too long; if AI really does strip out menial mental work, then for many workers creativity will be the key to 'good work'!

Schools that cannot foster creativity are a betrayal of the young.

@h4890

I know this is going to sound like I'm avoiding an answer, but I really do think any time spent fostering creativity of any sort cannot (almost be definition) be a waste of time... which I know is avoiding answering with a criteria & threshold - sorry

in reply to Emeritus Prof Christopher May

Well, in a way it _is_ an answer. Because if we cannot agree on what creativity is, how to facilitate it, and how to measure it, how can we teach it?

After all, there is creativity within math, physics, programming etc. it is something which is inherent in all human activities.

I think that the idea that children _have_ to doodle on a piece of paper in order to learn creativity is erroneous and not very productive when discussing education.

Black skimmers begin nesting on our beaches in the spring and we get to watch them grow from little baby puff balls to adolescents to adults over the summer. This bowl, with its rounded bottom so that it can rock and spin on a flat surface, almost functions as a diorama. It honestly feels more like a toy than anything else. My husband spun it around in the water so that I could shoot some video which I’ll post later. This piece belongs to the Gulf. #pottery #ceramics #nature #birds #Florida

ICYMI: Michael Reed checks out the much-awaited @GIMP 3 release with a non-destructive workflow and an improved codebase

@Morpurgo One in which information is not lost For example, erasing is nojn-destructive because you can go back later ad unerase. But you can't go back and modify a single brush stroke after doing lots of other things you don't want to lose.

With non-destructive filters, you can apply, say, a blur, do lots of other stuff, then come back to the layer, click on the fx, and change the blur, or even remove it.

Im am. Original des Blockbusters “Stirb langsam” (Die Hard) sind die Bösewichte dt. Terroristen die auch Deutsch sprechen. In der dt. Version sind die Kriminellen radikale Iren. Sogar die dt. Namen (Hans, Karl usw.) wurden geändert (Jack, Charlie)

in reply to Eureka! Fakten

The villains are just well-organized thieves, who happen to be German. They only PRETEND to be terrorists, to buy more time. That would be plausible almost anywhere, and their nationality is not relevant to it, so long as the story they tell is.

Happy Saturday. Here is a Common Kingfisher. Although it's called common, it's not that commonly seen in this part of the world compared to the white-throated kingfishers and always a delight to see them fishing. 📷 🪶 #Nature #Wildlife #Birds #Photography

👑 🗺 🎮 Сейчас будет необычный для этого канала контент.
Я хочу рассказать про компьютерную игру.
Встречайте: свободный, бесплатный и улучшенный вариант Civilization V (ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sid_Meie…) — Unciv.

Системные требования меньше, чем у виндового блокнота, идёт на любом утюге (за исключением АйУтюгов, но на маки можно).
Приятная и чёткая графика, мультиплеер!
Мультиплеер несколько своеобразный пока: нет списка игр. Чтобы поиграть с другом нужно запросить у него его ID, а потом дать ему ID созданной игры. Звучит путанно, на деле же минутное дело.
Более того, можно играть одну партию (мультиплеер или одиночку) сразу с разных устройств.

99% текста переведено на русский.
Куча модов (есть мод с правилами 6 цивы, Beyond Earth, мод на постапокалипсис и так далее).

Залипаю уже не первую неделю.

⬇️ Скачать можно на гитхабе (github.com/yairm210/Unciv/rele…), либо, если для ведроида, то F-Droid (f-droid.org/en/packages/com.un…) или же гоглплее (play.google.com/store/apps/det…), для ценителей ithc.io (yairm210.itch.io/unciv) тоже есть.

Кто желает партейку-другую? ;)
