feeling mighty proud today of all the fantastic colleagues across campus who have started organizing to fight the incursion of LLM's / ChatGPT on campus. we're doing a teach-in today at 4pm! #ai #refusechatgpt

Mistigram: I don't know just how he predicted the return of the Virtual Boy on the Switch with such accuracy, but @pixelblip.bsky.social drew this animated (and Very Red) scene of 3D primitives a long time ago! It was included in the MIST0221 artpack collection released five years ago this month!

Corona UV signals observed under a thunderstorm on 27 June 2024. (a) Approximate location of all 859 corona UV signals observed during the ∼1.5-hr observation period on a sweetgum tree. Each corona UV signal is colored by the number of total isotropic UV photons between 255 and 273 nm emitted by the corona discharge, as estimated from the illuminated pixels observed in that frame. The boxes depict the Corona Observing Telescope System (COTS) UV camera field of view, and the colors indicate the observation time for the branch within each box. Panel (b) as in (a), but for all 93 corona UV signals observed during the ∼20-min observation period on a loblolly pine tree. Locations of boxes and corona UV signals are only approximate because the wind blew the branches in and out of the COTS field of view. Note a corona UV signal is defined as a contiguous bundle of several illuminated pixels.

During thunderstorms, electric discharges in the air cause trees to glow with an ultraviolet aura. You can't see it with your eyes, but researchers have finally managed to measure it & recreate it in the lab. 🧪🔭

I had nothing to do with the latest episode of @onthemedia.bsky.social so I can honestly say the team crushed it this week. Listen to Brooke heroically take on the right-wing lawyer helping the FCC target ABC, CBS, et al. His vision for the future of American media is quite frightening. Listen:

They're Made out of Meat
Terry Bisson, 1991

Someone did a radio play of this...
"They're made out of meat."
"Meat?"
"Meat. They're made out of meat."
"Meat?"
"There's no doubt about it. We picked several from different parts of the planet, took them aboard our recon vessels, probed them all the way through.
They're completely meat."
"That's impossible. What about the radio signals? The messages to the stars."
"They use the radio waves to talk, but the signals don't come from them. The signals come from machines."
"So who made the machines? That's who we want to contact."
"They made the machines. That's what I'm trying to tell you. Meat made the machines."
"That's ridiculous. How can meat make a machine? You're asking me to believe in sentient meat."
