@mayintoronto "Get home safe" is a very Canadian thing to chant at a protest.

Toronto showed up to block the province from tearing out the bike lanes in the west end.

The construction crew drove off while the crowd chanted "get home safe!"

Some assholes have been throwing thumbtacks onto the bike lanes.

hey, could the Youtube product manager who decided that when a Dutch household puts on a video from the Dutch national news, the audio should automatically be replaced with a TTS voice reading a machine-generated English translation, come meet me in the darkest corner of the Amsterdamse Bos where there's no cell coverage? I just want to talk.

Russia *very much* engages in bot farming and hybrid warfare, and I don't like how much the "we have no evidence that the recent datacenter strikes have led to a decrease in bot traffic" is turning into "Russian hybrid warfare has no effect or isn't a thing", which is transparently and obviously stupid.

Two things can be true.

For today's Inktober prompt, "flimsy", I thought I'd draw a chunky robot who definitely skips leg day.

he's a _UI DESIGNER_ (according to Wikipedia) and his site looks like _that_ on mobile??????

goodness gracious all my imposter syndrome, where did it go

And Joe, that was his name, Joe, he just held my hand for a minute.

And then he said, "No, this is *good* news, on two different counts."

1) It gives us a plan. It's good to have a plan. It's good to know what to watch for, and it's good to have an answer for it, and we will have that.

2) It confirms beyond any question that this is your *body*. You are ill. You are not weak. It's not your mind, it's your body.

Do you think you are neurodivergent?

This is not a question about diagnosis. If you think you are, the answer is yes.

As always, please boost.

@mayintoronto I tell people I'm "she, like a storm or a ship," which is to say, not a woman, but a she/her user nonetheless

@mhoye What I have been thinking for a while. Is that they wanted to make their chatbot sound impressive, so they called it "AI". But once they'd done that they still needed something to reach for, so they coined "AGI" as the next thing. But then they realized they had to appear to be making progress, so they're starting to claim that their chatbot is now "AGI". What I figure is they're going to need some step after "AGI" to continue the loop and I wonder when they'll land on "weakly godlike"

Loving the asymptotic approach to weapons-grade nonsense as these warnings get more and more dire.

By November 1st Anthropic will warn that AI is hours away from turning every beetle on the earth into a self-replicating LLM.

By November 30th, OpenAI warns that we are only days way from every digital watch being self aware.

On December 15th, Amodei warns that Anthropic's models are seconds away from converting every electron in the solar system into a data center.
