I am sitting out on the balcony cozily wrapped in blankets watching the sun rise on a Sunday morning.
There is no construction beep beep, barely any traffic, and even the roar of the building exhaust fan has stopped for a bit.
I can hear the call of a seagull in the distance.
Quiet is a natural resource we don't think about much, am hard core enjoying it right now.
The explanation below is basically what I said yesterday.
I experience this every morning.

- Deleted Youtube comment on why we're not accepting AI in Inkscape.
Aw, bless their little socks. I hope they keep enough money in those socks for all the tokens its going to cost them.
Though I would advise they change the name. We can get very litigious about trademark violations. 😉

OSS is dead.
I vote for a new subsection of software - Libre and Unburdened Software by Humans, or LUSH
(Happy to replace "Unburdened" with another word... It's the only one I could fit for now 😄)
a local queer org for young girls (13-28) is hosting a pro "AI" 'informational' afternoon and besides all the general reasons against LLMs i need ressources on individual LLM providers (Grok, ChatGPT, Gemini, ...) and why *especially* young girls shouldn't use them.
I will do everything in my power to shift the discourse away from "let's write fun stories with "chatty", look how totally not queerphobic the answers are!" to real world implications of fash-tech.
So my kid had an assignment in school where the teacher told them to input all sorts of PII, including address, email, and phone number into AI to generate a resume. My kid refused (natch) and received a low grade because of it.
Fuckhead is about to learn a lot from this software engineer about policy, PII, and teaching kids poor internet hygiene. I suspect the school superintendent will feel the same way.
@FeloniousPunk Following up on former comment: I taught technical communications at the college level. One of the curriculum requirements was resume and cover letter writing. And I specifically told my students to RESTRICT PII in both. The employer doesn't need your physical address until you are hired and you have to pay taxes. Do NOT include your picture. Consider getting a burner phone for job searching. Get an email just for job search correspondence, independent of a personal/school email, in case Workday gets hacked again.
BUT! Jeezus goddamn christ don't put your PII in an LLM!

The depicted polyhedra are rare specimen.
First, they are inscribed, which means their vertices lie on a sphere.
Second, they are zonotopes, which means their faces are centrally symmetric (they are symmetric under 180° rotation around their center).
It turns out to be surprisingly hard to find such. Sure, there is the cube and other prisms. These are the boring ones. Maybe you also know the permutahedron and its siblings from other reflection groups. But there are at least a few more. Besides prisms we know of exactly 17 different combinatorial types. All are obtained as projections from higher-dimensional permutahedra.
The list of all 17 is shown in Figure 3 in Manecke-Sanyal "Inscribed Fans II"
'Nude women are only Art if there’s an urn in it,’ said Fred Colon.
This sounded a bit weak even to him, so he added, ‘or a plinth. Both is best, o’course. It’s a secret sign, see, that they put in to say that it’s Art and okay to look at.’
‘What about a potted plant?’
‘That’s okay if it’s in an urn.’
‘What about if it’s not got an urn or a plinth or a potted plant?’ said Nobby.
‘Have you one in mind, Nobby?’ said Colon suspiciously.
‘Yes, The Goddess Anoia Arising from the Cutlery,’ said Nobby....

Das Ergebnis ist, dass du deine kreative Idee mit einem Prozess umsetzt, der keinerlei Individualität mehr aufweist und am Ende nicht von den Abermilliarden anderen Slop-Bildern zu unterscheiden ist.
Du schadest den echten Künstler*innen, auf deren Arbeit die Bildgeneratoren illegal trainiert wurden und ich persönlich denke, du schadest dir selbst und deinem Ansehen.
Wenn ich ein KI-generiertes Bild sehe weiß ich, dass die Message und ich als Empfänger am Ende nicht mehr wert sind, als ein Prompt und zwei, drei Versuche.
