AI ethics good and bad thread
Bad: In contrast, Microsoft finished an AI product and then immediately fired their entire AI ethics team.
Strangely, I think it is interesting they even had a team to begin with. Lots of companies don't even think AI ethics is necessary, when in my opinion it is paramount. But ethics doesn't make money I guess...

Good: Adobe Firefly... I can't believe I'm about to congratulate them but, here it goes! They only train their image generation content based on opted-in content they explicitly have permission and the rights too.
People have critiqued that Adobe is falling behind on AI. And it's because they are doing it ethically, the right way, get over it lol. I applaud them.

Bad: All of this, and in the end the best we can hope for is #Craptions

It's possibly even worse to have inaccurate captions than no captions at all. These tools often get words, grammar, and punctuation wrong. They don't understand acronyms or the names of products. They will misspell someone's name or not understand neopronouns. Sometimes they even attribute what was said to the wrong person. This hurts everyone consuming the transcript.

slowly making my website nicer to navigate in older browsers
Never mind, it’s fucking fake. AI shit generated by some asshole named Dmitrii. https://www.reddit.com/r/boardsofcanada/comments/14fvnas/excuse_me_but_wtf_is_this/
What an innocuous way to conclude over a decade of waiting. I got up just before dawn to get a drink and discovered that a new Boards of Canada song is out
I love ultra running but I feel like this season might be my last for a bit. Assuming I finish the 50-miler in Squamish in August, it would be nice to reclaim the hours that training requires. I could feel like makeup and nice outfits weren’t wasted because I have to get dressed for a run later.
I created the groversub in BeamNG.drive and it started making collision sounds and smoking all on its own, before anything interacted with it
It looks like they found a way to make me like Mario even less
Trans men fucking kick ass. I love my brothers so much.

Me, explaining all of the social media sites I'm on and their differences
in two months i'll be in Vancouver. i can't fucking wait. that stupid beautiful little rotten pockmark glittering on the west coast's cheek. all i love about that city is built on inequity and debt; all worth loving was there 10,000 years ago & will endure long after the city slides into the ocean

[whispering through time] in 3 months your wife will be back in the country. in 6 months she'll be a permanent resident. in 2 years people at work will call you "Angela". in 8 years you'll have run your first marathon. in 9 years you'll be on HRT. now go have dinner at Sawadee.

A photo storage site from the mid-2000s just emailed me to ask for money to preserve the photos I put on there 15 years ago and then forgot. I downloaded them before deleting the account. What a weird time capsule. Who was this guy from July 2008

Blasting my quads, calves, and back with this thing has improved my recovery time from running workouts, made me care about flossing, and improved my credit score

After two hours out of the house with all four cats (for the sake of an open house) I am home, laid up with a bad back, and Oni is purring and rubbing her face all over me
She had diarrhea in this carrier 45 minutes ago, while we were parked down the block for a showing. We couldn’t do anything about it for 15 minutes. She is now bathed, the carrier is rinsed out and drying, and we are all fucking exhausted
