this is the perfect metaphor to understand the distinction between AI doomer concerns versus AI skeptic concerns

Oct 10, 2026, 6:54 PM@guidostevens @glyph Happened to me with a rain-filled pickle jar. Obviously pickle jars and/or rain contain spirits.

@jef @guidostevens jar… glass… sprits… dammit there’s a joke about vodka in here somewhere but I am just not getting it

@jef @guidostevens more seriously though I hope you caught the fire before it really got going? that sounds very scary

Jake Kcheckmite@indieweb.socialOct 10, 2026, 7:18 PM@jef @guidostevens @glyph You wouldn't expect a jar filled with water to harbor fire spirits, but that's how they get you

All of these moments will be lost in time, like pickles in the rain.

... This makes me less inclined on getting a Lensball. It's a crystal sphere for photography, but I was going to display it too.
DeReeldereel@mastodon.socialOct 11, 2026, 8:54 AM@glyph Alt: Une belle image qui me parle des angoisses suscitées par l'avenir (flammes dans une boule de divination) dans un contexte zinzin (alternant occultisme et matérialiste). Et c'est très bien tourné, à la fois clair (comme de l'eau de roche) et ouvert à la difraction du sens. Le spectre des interprétations est large, et la clôture d'un sens unique aussi improbable que le départ de feu par une boule de crystal.
