I keep seeing posts about dead batteries for the #Robosen humanoid robots. They seemed to be (from the user pix) custom sized li-ion rechargable batteries in multiple locations and it is weird that they seem to go bad in a mere couple of years.

Important information on the "Knight in Shining Armor Saves the Girl" trope: This is actually pretty rare in actual folk tales - usually it is later addition when those tales were turned into literature in order to make them a better fit for bourgeois narrative tastes and preferences of gender […]

A lesbian writer that used to be a mutual on several social media sites back in the 00's turned up in a Gmail search (I'm going through gigabytes of emails and mass deleting in preparation for deleting said account). I went to her socials now, curious because I haven't heard that name in a while […]

I note AI fanboys tend to argue two contradictory points: that LLMs are tools entirely under their control, ergo giving themselves full agency over what tney prompt into existence; that LLMs are beyond humanity, like some kind of Skynet, thus giving them their own agency. A classic […]
It's funny, because that's not what they were acting like as opposition. So, going by their playbook, it should now be all about complaining about German rapists and their culture, and about how AfD wants to groom little kids towards that culture, that like in U.S. claims to be all noble by […]
Wake Up and Run at an Ambitious Pace I woke early on Friday to go for a run. From 5am onwards people start to gather and at around 5:15 there is a quick warmup and at 05:30 the run begins. The run is without a timer so this isn't a race. It is a persona challenge instead. I was right at the […]
Cliff Edwards got through quite a few ukuleles, apparently giving some away at parties when guests would ask for them and, when times were not so good, pawning and selling others. The vast majority are likely to be untraceable now even if they survive. Nice to see one with provenance being […]
"A world where there is no N.S.F. funding for social science, but where the A.I. industry funds research... will skew public debate. To navigate the shock waves of A.I., we must restore social science research as an enterprise that starts from the public interest." Important article by @himself […]
The last few weeks have been a lot. I now understand the phrase "death by a thousand cuts" far more than I ever have. And I realized that there was a mixtape in this. A good old fashioned 90 minute TDK tape worth of songs that made me feel a little better about not being okay […]
