@Gargron Thank you! No polarizers here. I learned that clouds look best when there is a darker area in the frame (like the roof). Maybe it's how I expose or how I mastered my scanner (or both), but it's extremely hard to get a proper picture if it's only clouds in the frame (in most cases).

I was sad to find a surprising lack of visual scripting apps for Linux. Apple's Shortcuts app is very powerful and can be incredibly useful. It's not like we don't have the technical ability to make something similar.

Kind of as a birthday present (or an excuse to go out) @Andrew Pam and I went to the Art of the Brick Lego Exhibition. It was a fascinating experience. The amount of work that went into each piece was clearly considerable. If you have a chance to go, I would say that it is worth it. Just don't read the artist statements! They had me facepalming and whincing on a regular basis.

The animal room, which includes the two gorgeous polar bears, was my favourite.
The zebra people were probably the most aesthetic work.
The rainbow people have been a favourite with visitors!
The triumphal man and a few others in the room it shared all reminded me of Eastern European art under Soviet rule. I felt they could easily have had titles like: "Man Lifted by the State!"

It looks like you got a shot of milkweed at the base of the tree. It’s a very important part of the ecosystem that supports the Monarch butterfly. A lot of folks in California are growing it in gardens as a conservation effort. We currently have 3 pupae in our front yard (we’ll have several dozens by the end of summer).

The dog next door - Rohan really wants to say "Hi" and get a nice rub as a greeting. Cookies are a bonus, if you have one.

#dogsofmastodon

A large dog sticks his head through a square opening in a lattice fence. The dog has a mostly black head with brown spots above his eyes, a white stripe down the centre of the head that wraps around the nose. He has big brown paws with white toes at the tip. His deep, brown eyes are looking longingly at the camera.

There's yet another open letter from the AI safety crowd. If they want more people to take them seriously, they need to get more specific

platformer.news/tuesday-newsle…

At the same time, there’s no doubt that the AI safety argument has begun to feel a bit tedious over the past year, when the harms caused by large language models have been funnier than they have been terrifying. Last week, when OpenAI put out the first account of how its products are being used in covert influence operations, there simply wasn’t much there to report. We’ve seen plenty of problematic misuse of AI, particularly deepfakes in elections and in schools. (And of women in general.) And yet people who sign letters like the one released today fail to connect high-level hand-wringing about their companies to the products and policy decisions that their companies make. Instead, they speak through opaque open letters that have surprisingly little to say about what safe development might actually look like in practice.

What aren’t the OpenAI whistleblowers saying?

A group of current and former employees say the company has been reckless — but aren’t offering many details

I think the people behind the letter unequivocally subscribe to the idea that the current LLM technology is a path to AGI. It's important to question that assumption. That's the biggest disconnect for me when reading it. Such an assumption directly serves the interests of OpenAI and other LLM companies.
