Medusa but her hair is an anaconda

Medusa with a single anaconda for hair. She wears a grey chiton and stubbornly strides to the left, dragging the heavy snake, which trails sullenly along behind

Medusa with a single anaconda for hair. It is completely coiled around her, leaving only her angry yellow eyes visible, and a single hand lifted to flip off the world

Medusa with a single anaconda for hair. She wears a grey towel and is scrubbing the snake. A bar of soap sits in a small puddle off to the left

The image is of a four panel comic.
The title for the first two panels reads “dog domestication”.
The first panel shows a wolf running with a pack. The text reads “we changed form, size, personality…”
The second panel shows a chihuahua in a dog bed. The text reads “…lifestyle, instinct, our entire way of being.”
The title for the last two panel reads “cat domestication.”
The third panel shows an image of a cat outside.
The fourth panel shows the exact same cat indoors. The text reads “we went inside.”

Graphic design is my passion.

A sign that has two concentric rings of text but it's laid out in a confusing way so it looks like the first sentence is "it's against the law to keep alcohol out of the hands of youth" and the second sentence is "supply alcohol to minors."

Fun fact: this was the front page of Oracle magazine at the time. The main article in the magazine covered how Tony Stark used the Oracle Cloud to -- I don't even know how to end that phrase

Impossible to explain how angry a Computer Person has to be to put in this much effort to prove a point. Apocalyptic, bone-crushing fury at work here. This is Computer Person-ese for "I will use crayons and markers to help you understand how stupid your ideas are because the alternative is murder."

Incredible

Post from r/audioengineering
Why there's a resonance at 15.5kHz in Peter Gabriel's Sledgehammer?
It's around -70dB, so not audible I think.
As far as I know its a great mix and master, so I'm curious about why is it there, and why they leave it in there. Also if my eyes aren't deceiving me, it goes throughout the song. I know, its not a big deal at all, I'm just asking for if anyone has an idea about it

There was likely a CRT TV on in the studio. It was recorded in England, so PAL, which means a flyback transformer operating at 15.625kHz.

the implied AI share under the assumption that the increase in releases over 2022 is all AI.

This 1952 memo from the Pentagon UFO files is superb There is no point preparing for aliens ‘because no one of consequence is going to take this rubbish seriously unless it happens. At that point, our policy will be determined in the traditional manner of grand panic.’ 🤣 www.war.gov/medialink/uf...

There likely is nothing to be done at the moment to prepare for these possibilities (the only body of writing on the subject available in an emergency is science fiction), because no one of consequence is going to take this rubbish seriously unless it happens. At that point, our policy will be determined in the traditional manner of grand panic.

Deepfakes are everywhere, but digital forensics investigators are fighting back. Learn more: https://scim.ag/42dMPBg

To verify images, digital forensics investigators will often check whether the geometry of the scene is realistic. In a real photo, lines that run parallel in reality—like floor tiles—should meet at a single vanishing point. In this image, however, the dotted lines do not meet in a single point, indicating it is a fake.
Image: an AI-generated image of soldiers marching down a hallway in three lines, wearing fatigues and carrying rifles. Four dotted white lines have been added over the image, running along the floor tiles visible in the foreground and extending back to where the vanishing point should be, behind the soldiers. Instead of meeting in a single point, the lines all cross at different points.

Investigators also examine reflections. The lines connecting points on an object to matching points in its mirror image run parallel in reality, so similarly should meet at a vanishing point. In this image, the lines again do not converge on one point, revealing it to be a fake.
Image: An AI-generated image of a plastic cartoon dinosaur toy with its reflection visible in a small mirror. Four dotted white lines are layered over the image, connecting points on the toy with the same points on its reflection: the top of its eye, the end of its jaw, its hand, and its foot. The lines extend out to the side of the image, where they all cross at different points rather than meeting at a single point.

Wife: The way you know AI is a scam is that the same party and people who have been waging war on public school funding for 50 years are now pushing to spend tax money to get AI into public schools and saying they're doing it to "level the playing field" or so "kids don't get left behind"
