Building a fun little light rail tracker! You can see on this site when the 1, 2 and T Line trains/streetcars will be arriving at the station. I also have a little toggle view so you can see future stations and what the hopeful final state of the network will be like.
The Link and the Seattle bus system used to share the tunnel. This pic is real but it don’t look right lol
Got to see my friend @quillmatiq.com present about A New Social at the DWeb meetup in Seattle. From interoperability to bridging protocols, he laid out a clear, hopeful vision for the web. Also: Bridgy Fed just hit 100K users. As @davidpierce.xyz put it- that’s the STUFF.
I thought that everyone was shitting on this person together but it turns out Threads is just broken today and displaying the same posts multiple times under everyone’s usernames
The first picture is a section from Sam Altman’s blog post today. The next three pictures are from my blog post last week “A User's Guide to Loving Your Cognitive Leash”. We’re really on the precipice of a pretty huge change coming.
We did it! We have it! It’s here! We’ve successfully made a combo COVID/flu shot that is better than current vaccines. This is an astonishing feat of scientific progress and it is so fucking sad it is happening at the same time we’re not sure we’ll even have our annual vaccines at all this fall :(
It’s been genuinely incredible how I can write a story and have AI create any scene from it exactly as I saw it in my mind’s eye. prompt-injection.ghost.io/the-alignment/
I’ve been working on a short story for the past month or so. It’s called The Alignment - a speculative fiction piece about AI, persuasion, and what happens when “optimization” quietly rewrites who we are. I hope you like it :) prompt-injection.ghost.io/the-alignment/
The #ATmosphereconf after party was phenomenal. It was awesome to go support @quillmatiq.com and @anew.social (follow them if you don't). And it was amazing to meet @jay.bsky.team who is just so kind and down to earth. I left feeling so hopeful seeing so many smart people committed to an open web
Pizza and beer with A New Social founders @quillmatiq.com and @shnarfed.threads.net.ap.brid.gy at #ATmosphereConf
this album has basically been a hyperfixation I have latched onto once a year for the past 15 years
lol at super obvious but targeted AI scams popping up in my FB feed. This is literally an AI image inside an AI image
