For #AI in art, I have said repeatedly that it's good for #inputs, like you can get from #Pixabay, that require enhancement. They're cheaper on Pixabay. All you have to do is give #attribution. With AI art you also need to know how to clean that #EXIF data. That's my art no matter how I made it.

U.S. & Brazil Soybean Competitiveness, Purdue Center for Commercial Agriculture Farm-level comparison of U.S. and Brazil soybean costs (2020–2024) shows structural differences in land, fertilizer, and profitability.

#multimodal #deep #inputs

I call them #tools. Sometimes #brushes. Sometimes #methods. Sometimes #inputs. Art is art. Does it move? You? Do you want to call it art or not? Who is going to decide like oh this is the #ultimate #definition of art? Not going to happen. If you love it you love it, and if you don't you don't.

What else could they be good for? I don't know, just throw some up here, maybe somebody wants to use them somewhere. They're not good for anything else except for gluing together and then doing weird shit with like you always do LOL. That part. Kitty builds her own #ecosystem of #inputs. #AI is one.

No, growing more food does not mean we always need more and more inputs Many lower-income countries do, but high and middle-income countries have reduced fertilisers, pesticides, labour, and land without reducing food production.

You clearly don't need a brain (or mind) for #cognition. Anything that is susceptible to #inputs and can produce *different* #outputs for the same input (a finite state automaton) is, IMO, "cognizant." Those things can also be #conditioned to produce a particular output.

crates.io: Rust Package Registry

We've shipped a new version of timely dataflow (crates.io/crates/timely) which removes some potentially quadratic behavior. Scopes and operators would take resources proportional to #inputs x #outputs, even with sparse interior connectivity. This is now down to linear in inputs + input-output paths.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the problem with #NetZero is one of messaging.

'Cutting #emissions' makes it sound like prohibition - reduce your energy use and be colder.

Frame it as 'cutting #inputs' makes it sound like cutting expenditure - you need LESS energy to heat your house.
