The illustration is by Boris Artzybasheff who was a prolific artist, especially for commercial art.
Back when tech companies paid artists to make amazing artworks and didn't just steal their work.

> Google calls the illicit activity "model extraction" and considers it intellectual property theft, which is a somewhat loaded position, given that Google's LLM was built from materials scraped from the Internet without permission.

Could you use WebP to compress webpages? Well, yes, you can!
A bit of an older post, but still well worth a read, it's beautifully unhinged: https://purplesyringa.moe/blog/webp-the-webpage-compression-format/

In a recent interview with conservative radio talk show host Hugh Hewitt, Donald Trump drew a link between immigration, violent crime, and genetics, stating,
“we got a lot of bad genes in our country right now.”
Comments such as these are not new.

Just finished "Far Sector" written by N. K. Jemisin and illustrated by Jamal Campbell. I don't normally go for Marvel/DC comics stuff and this was a good reminder why. Jemisin's authorship was the draw for me here, as well as some curiosity about what I might be missing out on by avoiding the classic comics lineage. I won't go into too much detail about particulars, but suffice to say it ends up feeling to me line a very neoliberal story dressed up in a veneer of radicalism, which is not what I'd expected of Jemisin. Particularly in light of current events, the "good cops" aspects of the storyline ring truly hollow. There's still a lot of neat parts, but I guess I also wound up disappointed by the sci-fi aspects in a lot off ways. I truly think Jemisin is capable of better than this, based on her other (excellent) work.
