We don’t talk enough about how morally depraved the tech industry turned out to be. Every single ounce of their self-regarding statements of values was an outright lie.
Stumbled across this one today. Something nice to balance out all the horrors.

I had no idea NZ tanks were a thing and yet somehow this is exactly how I’d expect them to look

My doomer-worry about AI is not that the LLMs become omnipotent and take over the world but that the wealthy and powerful use it as a means to consolidate power and marginalize or lay off skilled workers and also everything about our technological and political and social life gets worse

This art features 100 bees of various colors and shapes. These bees are designed in a cartoonish style, based on real species. The common name or species is written below the animals. Some bees are moving leaves, scraping plant hair, or sticking out their tongues. Some male bees have hairy faces and unusually shaped legs. There are also baby bees that have just hatched from their petal nests. Cute and colorful atmosphere. There are over 20,000 species of bees, so I only depicted a very small fraction of them!

This morning marked a milestone.
It was my 365th day of my “365 days of Sun Project.”
Over the next couple months, I’ll be poring over the thousands of exposures I made and figuring out how to share the thing fully.
So, if anyone knows any gallery or publishing folks, hmu?
Get outside.

In short, the problem here is not that Signal ‘chose’ to run on AWS. The problem is the concentration of power in the infrastructure space that means there isn’t really another choice: the entire stack, practically speaking, is owned by 3-4 players. 11/
The question isn’t "why does Signal use AWS?" It’s to look at the infrastructural requirements of any global, real-time, mass comms platform and ask how it is that we got to a place where there’s no realistic alternative to AWS and the other hyperscalers. 3/

‘Screensavers’ is so apt because all ai art/text/music does is occupy space.
And we tricked ourselves into thinking all space should be occupied. We don’t need background music in a store. Your blog post is fine without an image too. A news item of one human sentence is better than ai paragraphs.
It's kinda cool that Gary Larson is doing new cartoons because he picked up a digital tablet, taught himself how to use it, and it made him love drawing again.
