Oh, #anxiety update.

I am tasting the rainbow'' again. And I have been since... Thursday?

We have a theory. I certainly hope it pans out because I have some solo travel planned soon and I will power through that no matter what. But I'd prefer to enjoy it fully and leave the Anxiety Monster at home.

Ah! Mise à jour sur l' #anxiété. Je "goûte à nouveau à l'arc-en-ciel". Et ça fait depuis... jeudi ?

On a une théorie. J'espère vraiment que ça va marcher, parce que j'ai un voyage en solo prévu bientôt et je vais me forcer à le faire, quoi qu'il arrive. Mais j'aimerais vraiment pouvoir en profiter pleinement et laisser le monstre de l'anxiété à la maison.

An AI-generated "news" slop site keeps making up EFF staffers and attributing made-up quotes to them in their stories: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/06/news-site-keeps-hallucinating-eff-staffers

How it's done. 🤟🏼 #Tidal.

Bullet point #3 is huge. So much slop is generated just to get $ from sheer volume. Take that away and the incentive to flood the platform goes away.
≠=====

Here are the highlights of our new AI Policy:

• Tidal will identify and tag AI-generated music in our app. Listeners will see an "AI" badge next to music we detect as wholly AI-generated.

• Tidal will not tolerate AI-generated music that impersonates an artist or group, or that facilitates fraudulent activity. We're implementing automatic tools to remove these releases immediately and on an ongoing basis.

• Tidal will not allow music that is 100% AI-generated to be monetized. No royalties will go to such releases, nor will AI-generated uploads be eligible for direct-to-fan sales.

• We will expand these policies to music that is substantially AI-generated when AI detection technology is sufficiently reliable to do so.

Hate to say it but it’s only going to get worse from here on out. #ClimateEmergency

I only discovered today that this exists. I mean, I wish her well, but please don't let this blow up. It took forever for the Nanny McPhee jokes to die out.

Out on the deck playing 'Is it an itch or is there an ant on me?'

Every time I type #02139, my zip code, @Mastodon (web) autocorrects it to #arxiv_2205_02139 or
#arxiv_2311_02139 despite there being 0 instances of those tags,

Why? I use #02139 all the time, my TL is filthy with it, but it refuses to offer that in the dropdown and then auto-'corrects' unless I thwart it manually (when you type a hashtag, the popup happens automatically and it takes focus whether you want it to or not).

How'd you like that one, @Kevin ? Sounded like a mortar went off.

I hear dogs barking. *sigh*

"The idea that the EU's too-slow progress on climate should be further sacrificed by burning more gas for the sake of tech bro profits is preposterous," said a spokesperson for Greenpeace EU.
