I was a research scientist for machine learning. Now complete automation has turned me into a data scientist. I've spent the rest of my life on movies and comics.

Who would have thought that working while listening to them is so relaxing. They are the perfect micro-break you need.

I think Italy has created the most cursed piece of AI slop ever seen on live TV.

I am not sure bsky is ready for it.

Feels like they are fighting back with advertisement in the same article.

This is ironically happening in my own country where the same breed of dog has been object of a long public discussion about banning the breeding after a fatal accident involving 5 of them. Same dogs have been held hostage of the judicial system for almost 5 years of their typically short lives.

My perception of Turnstile is that someone asked some shitty AI software to imagine some post-core sung by Sting.

As an Italian the only mystery I would ask a machine to solve is how to cure "cervicale".

It becomes a bit predictable at the 4th tankobon and a bit boring at the 56th.

You could just stop paying Netflix and make it die. The world would keep spinning.

4 times that I hear something en passant from the radio and I wonder in which fever dream was the one who asked AI to imagine a shitty postcore song written by Sting after a coma in which he forgot how to play any instrument.

And then it's just Turnstile.

LeCun, being a real scientist, has always declared that LLM can't do much more than what they already do and AGI can't be real. It's stuff known since 20 years on the science side. You can keep adding layers and computing power. But you are still dragging a dead horse up the hill.

I've tried to report a guy who has an entire distro of nazi shit bands on Vinted and I got an automated reply in less than 3 seconds that it's all good for them.

È frustrante vedere come le destre estreme continuino a comunicare e a influenzarsi a chilometri di distanza più o meno alla luce del sole. Non che voglia paragonare 'sta roba all'internazionale nera ma son davvero un'idra dalle mille teste, un vero e proprio asse del banale.

I am thinking of the japanese grand guignol, the first more punk and theatrical visual kei scene, Taguchi Tomorowo being part of it, Teito Monogatari, etcetc. This was mostly unknown to the west at the time.

And legitimately so I would say. At the time we didn't have all the possibilities to cross knowledge as of today. Ishii, Tsukamoto and Rin Taro were probably getting more impulses from the local scene than from western scifi.
