@tokeriis Jeg er enig. Det viser relativt tydeligt hvor folks prioriteter er ift at blive set vs. at gå foran.

@gknauss Pavlovian enjoyment is still very enjoyable - also to watch!

@jonassmith Det ville sætte SMK på forkant af stort set alle andre offentlige institutioner og blive et eksempel til efterfølgende. I en tid med så meget fokus på digital suverænitet tror jeg kun det kræver en, så to, så en håndfuld væsentlige institutioner der prioriterer at være tilstede på fødererede sociale netværk, for at det kan gøre en forskel.

As we say where I come from, this material "falls on a dry place" (ie. was sorely needed). Wiki Education has made a primer on #LLM. The reasoning being that most users of LLM have much less understanding of what it is, how it works, what it can do etc. than the mainstream discourse would indicate. And remember, one of the primary driving forces of #AIslop is lack of understanding.

@evan No, but his successor Ali Hosseini Khamenei seems to have been.

True to their aesthetic, the Fallout franchise put out a vinyl collection of songs fittingly called "The Soothing Sounds of the Apocalypse"

@Greg_Ray I'm surprised. Is this something Substack is asking users for globally? I know UK has laws that requires them to do it. I didn't know other countries had that requirement too - is that by law in Australia?

They're gonna put me in the movies
They're gonna make a big star out of me
We'll make the film about a man that's sad and lonely
And all I gotta do is act naturally

Crawl out through the fallout, baby
When they drop that bomb
Crawl out through the fallout
With the greatest of aplomb
When your white count's getting higher
Hurry, don't delay
I'll hold you close and kiss those
Radiation burns away

The game - and later on TV-series - Fallout perfectly captured this contrast in picking their soundtrack and I've been digging in to it again lately. It made me discover The Ink Spots back in the day who expressed this style on so many songs. This tongue-in-cheek ostensible "love song" that manages to also refer indirectly to the weight of the world (which perhaps is all you can do when the world is overwhelming, refer to it indirectly). One of my favorites: https://youtu.be/TmIwm5RElRs?si=ko7R4VWeV8B0WtGY

The musical expression of early cold war #FakeHarmony from the US of the 50s and 60s seems increasingly fitting for our times. The tongue-in-cheek apathy and powerlessness, the contrast between the pressure to conform and be happy on one side and the dread of the future, the almost ridiculous attraction to simple human desires, the overwhelm caused by the world ("I just want the simple life"), I feel all of it at times. Nat King Cole is balm for that part of me.

@Greg_Ray Is this only in the UK for the moment?

@LarsHenriksen Aldrig hørt det før, den var ny for mig

@nerdd En løbende tråd der opdateres inde på @farvel-big-tech kunne også gøre det eller som supplement input til din statiske side - og så styrker det vores infrastruktur her

@LarsHenriksen Jeg forstår det i hvert fald ikke, men jeg er heller ikke målgruppen. Er pære slang for Google?

@LarsHenriksen Der er apps til både æble og pære?

Hvis du havde skabt en ny grøntsags- eller frugtsort, og selv kunne bestemme hvad det var for en slags, og det primært var for at kunne få lov til at kalde den et sjovt navn, der passede til den, hvad ville det så være?

@folfdk Jeg tænkte også tanken for første gang i dag. Al sneen forsvandt virkelig efter weekenden. Jeg har gravet de sidste gulerødder op og kørt fast i mudderet.

@evan I dislike this genre of questions too. I think the right category for it is a leading question. Which means that it is actually not a question, but an opinion packaged as if it was a question. Typically, people who pose questions like that are not really interested in the answer. So people like me, who live by the value that people who ask me something, all things being equal, I owe them an answer - we end up wasting a lot of time.

@internetarchive Thank you, I was actually thinking that was the case and I got thoroughly confused
