3. The commercial labs producing these products are claiminng to be at the bleeding edge of scientific discovery while not actually participating in the conversation of science. They drop press releases shaped (more or less) like papers, and the media plays along. >>

So (if I understand this correctly), the way AI (companies) will "solve" all the major problems in maths, biology, and medicine in the next 5 years will be by stealing and building on the ideas of researchers naive enough to think their chats with AI companies would be private.

The line hits particularly hard because, like Rogers, HKers in 2019 had not really moved on from what happened 5 years before - the Umbrella Movement in 2014 failed to achieve any political goals . But like the Avengers, we had vowed to return, and... boy, did we Source: TG (Sep 2019)

[Siren wailing ⚠️] It's bank holiday Monday, which is basically another Sunday! Time for pigment shenanigans, this time: Buddleia flowers which I share with moths, butterflies, bees, and hoverflies like this absolute chonk of a unit (hornet hoverfly) also make dye. Also here's the prev thread.

[Siren wailing] it's that time again! ⚠️ This is your incoming Sunday pigment shenanigans/shitposts warning. Today: extraction of pinkish-orangeish colours from madder roots, after they've been digested to extract red madder lake (alizarine.) Also here's last times thread on alkanet root lake.

Is it just me or has the basic customer support at Thermofisher gone to absolute shit? I've had a few instances now whereI get zero email responses after a week for basic billing actions and/or spend 45 minutes on hold to then be given an email address that doesn't exist anymore.

THREAD. A while ago my parents' cat Bridget went missing. As the worrying weeks dragged on my dad devised a way to distract himself: he began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time & inhabiting art's most iconic scenes. What he produced (& how quickly) was phenomenal...

I'm crankier than usual but I go back to one of my aphorisms: if governments can't deal with obvious issues that regular people can wrap their head around, then people get more radical and stop trusting governments promising schools/community centres again and again and not delivering qualifies!

Iran doesn’t need to DDoS attack Bluesky. All it needs to do is post is “what if a DoorDash driver got caught by a speed camera on the way to someone who was having a bad day of executive function”

I'm not sure if you need friction or suffering to feel alive... but abdicating flow-state and the creative process you've spent years working on to get good at to statistically average models is a certain giving-up that I judge people for.

Shepherd@neolithicsheep.bsky.social · last mo.

I just saw someone refer to how AI "just gets rid of the friction that lets you know you're alive" & thought about how a de days ago I was desperately cutting through baling twine while the young sheep tangled in it strangled under my hands, making the noises a mammal makes when she can't breathe.

Americans might finally be un-fucking themselves from thinking along the political duopoly's simplistic lines. The rest of the free democratic western world welcomes you in.

A new CNN poll shows 47% of Americans now identify as Independents. That is America telling Washington something plain: The partisan pendulum has swung long enough. Read my latest open.substack.com/pub/typinkin...
