  Was just thinking, as global climate changes, migration patterns of animals will likely change too. We won't, of course. We have lines we imagined ourselves that freeze us in position. #NoteToNowhere

  @serigala_tropis@lgbtqia.space I have encountered bigthink on YouTube, and they have what seems to be a reasonable subscription fee. How are they viewed?

  LLMs are considered plausibility engines, but there is a greater plausibility engine in play: Human society. And unlike LLMs, it is corrected by reality. https://knowprose.com/2026/07/the-plausibility-engine-a-conversation-with-reality/ #LLM #society #reality

  Breathtaking, if even for a moment. Already gone as I type this. Water vapor and some Saharan dust in the shape of a cumulonimbus cloud towering and becoming a lantern holding the last rays of the sun during this rotation... #landscape #photography #sunset #caribbean

  @dansup@mastodon.social I like what you are doing though it doesn't benefit me as a WordPress user that I can tell. Another use case would be having a link to an onboarding tool on profile pages, which could be tailorable for instances. It could see someone not logged in, and given them the option of creating an account on the instance, or another instance. This might even help with distributing new users to other instances. It's a thought. #mastodon

  @openrightsgroup@social.openrightsgroup.org @JamesBaker@social.openrightsgroup.org It comes down to how much they need them. Which is... not at all. That is the only thing companies understand. The bottom line. Change that, you get their attention. Normalization should not be an option.

  @davetroy@toad.social it is reminiscent of the 'coalition of the willing' circa 2006 about wmd. It has no legal basis, no agreed upon position. It looks like a bully pulpit on the back of the US military to me. As a veteran, that's... irritating.

  @Gurre@mastodon.nu money buying political power these days. To your point, a resounding 'yes'. But we also raised politicians to suckle at the teats of lobbyism. About false binaries. About narratives and emotional turmoil. About confused identities. I agree with you, I want to know how we get to politics that is not funded emotional turmoil.

  Gifted link: "...“These A.I.-generated books are already flooding the world’s largest book marketplace, Amazon, in volumes that materially displace human-authored works,” the complaint states..." Yup. That's one of the reasons my book isn't as prioritized to publish. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/05/books/publishers-turow-meta-zuckerberg-lawsuit-copyright.html?unlocked_article_code=1.gVA.RWOP.Fza1_6NG8r2T&smid=url-share #writers #publishing #meta #ai #copyright
