Generative "AI" has no idea what it is doing, a story in four images.
The first image is my original drawing (a Venn diagram) with a white background. The second is the same image after I removed the background using GIMP, i.e., made the background layer transparent. The third image is an effort by the "AI system" that is offered as part of my Wordpress setup to create a transparent background. In fact, it has created a new background that is a grey and white grid, a…
jester: Jester joke ratings (2001)
Two bipartite networks of users and jokes, extracted from the online joke recommender system Jester. A user connects to all jokes for which that user entered a rating. Edge weights give the rating score, scaled from -10 to 10. The two files differ by how many joke nodes are included, 100 or 150.
This network has 73521 nodes and 4136360 edges.

Sorry, but if any mention of Joe Biden triggers something in you that requires you to voice your anguish over 80 years of Palestinian history, you and I don’t agree on the proper purposes and utility of social media. Or on civil discourse generally. You don’t want me in your feed, trust me.

Oh. I got distracted. But hey, I found a bug in Fusion after thinking I'd found a bug in iTerm2 that was really a Tahoe regression, and mitigating that regression blew up a VM.
