"ADDED BULB D IN PAKALLEL WITH 8"? This is AI slop and you should stop pumping extra CO2 into the atmosphere just so you can generate this nonsense

A screenshot from an AI slop video generated by @rathankar.bsky.social shows four light bulbs with varying brightness and an unexplained set of blue rings with the text "ADDED BULB D IN PAKALLEL WITH 8", which makes no sense at all, in the upper right corner

I would honestly pay double for a dumb tv with 4 HDMI ports and stereo RCA audio out jacks, I don’t even need bluetooth

A post by @comicprintinguk.bsky.social reads “But I don’t WANT to sign in to my tv. I just want to watch tv.”

A screenshot reads “There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”
Isaac Asimov

I've always loved seeing those buildings in person when I've visited Chicago but they remind me too much of those Lil Dutch Maid Butter Ring cookies that I'm worried they'll dissolve when it rains

Same vibes

This comic by Matthew Bors is titled "Mister Gotcha" and was posted on The Nib on September 13th, 2016. The comic features a man trying to own others by pointing out their hypocrisy when they argue for improving society. He first mocks a person tweeting about how Apple doesn't pay livable wages for Chinese workers because the person is tweeting from an iPhone. He then mocks an early-20th century car owner for arguing cars should have seatbelts. He then appears in the last panel mocking a medieval peasant for wanting to "improve society somewhat".

Interesting pair of emails from Esri today, I had forgotten I was on their mailing list but apparently I also forgot that I'd applied to Hogwarts?

An email form Robert Yocum at Esri titled "Enter Subject Here" reads: Dear Chris,
We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment. Term begins on September 1. We await your owl by no later than July 31.
Yours sincerely,
Minerva McGonagall
Deputy Headmistress

You mean your expertise in stealing artists’ and creators’ IP so you can make a product that users don’t want?

I've been including info about famous Black chemists, physicists and computer scientists in my weekly emails to students & parents and I wanted to to use the profile of Dr. Clarence "Skip" Ellis on College Board's website, but I just checked and it's *gone*: elective.collegeboard.org/clarence-ski...
