You might personally choose not to use AI, but you might not have a choice as to whether your team or office uses it. If your organization is using AI to write alt text, always review it to make sure it's accurate and appropriate. AI won't necessarily understand how or why an image is being used.

Apparently Proton Drive doesn’t do any timezone conversion when checking digital signatures for files and folders. Which means I can now only use Proton Drive if my timezone is UTC.

I’ve ridden MRT-3 and LRT-2 a few times now, and they were all nice experiences. I’ve become a fan of rail transportation. Don’t let our trains go to waste, please.

I've come to accept that people are now using "ngani" the way people ended their text messages with "lol" But can we at least get the pronunciation right? I grew up hearing my Bicolana mom and aunt pronounce it as "nganì" not "nganeeeeee"

I hope I've gotten better at letting friends move on from me.

‘That’s so AI!’ What gen Alpha’s biggest insult tells us

There was someone at work who basically said that programmers who do not use AI are “traditional”. Well, they’re traditional because…? What’s exactly the argument here?

He used to be really into AI a few years ago. Looks like he knows better now.

Heard I was gonna get transferred next year to a project involving training an LLM. I’m gonna be soooooo bored.

Instagram is a noisy, over-polished, AI-ridden drain on my mental health, but I have to thank it for letting me know about this hilarious EP. music.youtube.com/playlist?lis... I like “I Miss the Sunroom” best only cause it’s got Shane freaking Told from Silverstein.

Autism is not an illness though, so why all this alarmist shit?

Children born with infections such as syphilis, rubella and cytomegalovirus are far more likely to be diagnosed with autism and intellectual disability, according to a new study.

So interesting that “Brave New Words, Volume 2,” published by Paper Trail Projects in QC, is licensed under CC BY-NC-SA. Never seen a work like that in the wild before. Makes me feel less guilty about digitally preserving it 😅
