Excited and terrified to be visiting and speaking ("Help Wanted with Words and Pictures") at a cognitive science department for the first time. Imposter syndrome at 11. If you're at Indiana University, come by the Mesolab slot, Tue Mar 24, 2pm, 6th Floor Geology Conference Room!

YouTube auto-censors for inflammatory content, resulting in creative verbiage to work around the censoring.
One example is for the word "pedophile" - which results in many people saying "PDF file" as a substitute.
Now every time I make a PDF document 508-conformant, I chuckle to myself about how I could be misinterpreted when talking about how to make your PDF Files conform to US Government requirements.
Suddenly my professional training content seems a …

"When I think about the future I try to stay in touch with my not-knowing-ness. If I latch on to any particular story about the future I immediately start censoring out parts of the present that don’t conform to my vision. I cut people out of my story, or I cast them as enemies, I make myself into The Good Guy on The Good Guys Team.
If you don’t know what the future holds, and you expect it to be vastly different from the present, where do you put your time and energy today? ...&qu…

This is it! 2026 board. Don't see myself swapping anything out. Analog signal never gets converted again post-wireless. Can be played ad-hoc, or with extremely specific programming. Don't know of any pedals that have the same combo of attributes—inspiring sounds, ease of use, audio fidelity, midi flexibility, genre flexibility.

Sonnet 035 - XXXV
No more be grieved at that which thou hast done:
Roses have thorns, and silver fountains mud:
Clouds and eclipses stain both moon and sun,
And loathsome canker lives in sweetest bud.
All men make faults, and even I in this,
Authorizing thy trespass with compare,
Myself corrupting, salving thy amiss,
Excusing thy sins more than thy sins are;
For to thy sensual fault I bring in sense,
Thy adverse party is thy advocat…

No, Gander is not a “rug pull”.
The crowd equity funding is closing, I think with ~2400 or so Canadian investors including myself, all on the same terms.
Some people didn’t sign paperwork when they got the chance at an earlier offering.
Join us at #ATmosphereConf in Vancouver in late March if you’d like to meet the Gander team in person

So I wanted to write a longer #NoAI piece but apparently my blog is down (and this time, miraculously, it might not be #AI scrapers), so I'll give you a sneak peek of what I wanted to say in the more hyperbolic part on how the #LLM discourse has all the common features of libertarian discourse.
"According to Google, LLM-backed searches don't consume much more energy than regular searches" [ignoring model training, surely.]
− According to carbrains, cars are actually cheaper than public transport, provided that you compare gasoline cost with ticket prices, and ignore the cost of buying and owning a car. Not to mention all the indirect costs of space waste (roads, parking lots, garages), environment pollution, accidents…
"AI is just a tool, people decide if it's used for good or bad."
− Ah, yes, and "guns don't kill people."
"AI has its uses."
− So does asbestos.
"Let's not judge contributions by whether they were created using AI, but on their actual quality."
− "Let's not judge contributions by whether they were created using slave work…"
"I do not use AI myself, but I don't want to block others."
− "I do not keep slaves myself…"
