I've had a fair number of conversations about "fair use" without anyone talking about straight up plagiarizing and not just stolen/pirated training material

Researchers Just Found Something That Could Shake the AI Industry to Its Core Researchers found compelling evidence that AI models are actually copying copyrighted data, not "learning" from it.

Somehow missed this article the first time around.

"Stanford and Yale researchers found compelling evidence that AI models are actually copying all that data, not “learning” from it. ... Claude outputted “entire books near-verbatim” with an accuracy rate of 95.8%."

Graphic that reads "Outstanding natural science picture books!" and shows the cover of This Wolf Was Different by Katie Slivensky and Hannah Salyer, featuring a close up of a wolf with a human reflected in her eyes, and the caption above that reads "The New York Public Library Best Books of 2024" and also the cover of I, Rock: A Geology Tale by Katie Slivensky and Steph Stilwell, which shows a cartoon rock with googly eyes sitting on a cross section of the ground, with the caption above that reads, "SLJ Best Book of 2025".

A little promo for the weekend. ❤️

Help support my endeavors to teach kids science by buying one of my books from your local bookstore or borrowing from your library! They're illustrated by the talented Hannah Salyer (This Wolf) and Steph Stilwell (I, Rock), published by Beach Lane Books. #Kidlit

I tried reducing my dog's polygon count to improve loading times but I accidentally rendered him as an infinitesimal one-dimensional point in spacetime and now I can't remember where I left him

Powerful.

Interesting! Will check it out

I would *love* to see more international classical music and dance forms that aren't one off performances that are only on the weekends when you can't go or you only find out about afterwards. Also--with a little teaching about what to look for and how to enjoy it

My main issue with ballet and opera is the culture around them-- it is aimed at upper class white people, and outsiders are not welcomed, and other forms of classical dance (like the one I am learning bharatanatyam) are not explored and celebrated in the United States.

Tbh I thought I didn't like ballet because of the nutcracker and swan lake (Sorry! The music is better than the stories in both of those!) but I enjoyed it when I watched ones with stories I actually liked! I haven't seen enough opera to have any opinion at all. I admire the singing I have heard.

I, for one, think Timothee Chalamet is quite brave for saying what he said about ballet as every ballerina in the world could kill him using only their legs.

it feels like a small thing in context of all of the other things but it is a piece of the larger authoritarian project that there are fewer places to publish essays now and the carefully edited essay as a public form for thinking and responding and criticizing and analyzing is in trouble, i think

(also I probably wouldn't *actually* want this because the whole thing would turn problematic really fast)

I definitely would not want this with our current technology. It would probably be an AI approximation of me inside a Boston dynamics robot dog😆😆😆😆😆

This is probably an unpopular opinion but they should be working on new synthetic bodies to download ourselves into because I'm getting really annoyed with this model I got. Seems to be glitchy.

😍😍😍

Some embroidery before I turn.

Bunny!!

I tried it but for some reason didn't love it

People Are Calling Meta Ray-Bans "Pervert Glasses" On Bluesky, users quickly embraced the term "pervert glasses" to refer to Meta's Ray Ban smart glasses, following a shocking investigation.

Make it stick.

Thanks!

(to clarify: I actually love romantasy but not ONLY romantasy)

Pic of my "All Booked Up l" journal with green and maroon academia vibes. The journal is surrounded by books and a unicorn pencil pouch.

Something I've been doing for myself: I gave up Goodreads and haven't really found another good online place to talk about books that doesn't devolve into drama and isn't only for romantasy readers.

I've been enjoying book journaling instead!
