The 2025 Web Almanac mistook me.
I did *not* say LLMs provide better image descriptions. I cited SeeingAI and Be My Eyes as tools for undescribed IRL uses.
I said LLM-generated captions could be better than craptions. I mentioned abstracts / reading-level changes, which could be summaries?
But “better” image descriptions is right out.
Trump's promise to ship captains contemplating traversing the Strait of Hormuz: "Don't worry, if you die I'll compensate your boss for the value of your cargo!"
Somehow this hasn't been very effective at convincing them to attempt to run the blockade.

This didn't age well.

CAPTAIN: One of our pursuit units engaged an unidentified planet hopper. They refused to obey a stand and be searched order and the pursuit commander opened fire.
SERVALAN: Why all the interest? What's one civilian cargo ship more or less?

Having watched the first two episodes, the standouts IMO were Nus Braka (Paul Giamatti), SAM (Kerrice Brooks), Lura Thok (Gina Yashere), and Jett Reno (Tig Notaro).
I fear that, like #StarTrekDiscovery, #StarfleetAcademy’s strong, female captain may be its least interesting character. H…
