מחפש סטריפ של יוצרת ישראלית שבנוי כמו סיפור אימה על מישהו שקמה לאור אדום מבשר רעות, ומגלה למרבה הזוועה שהבוילר נשאר דלוק. למישהו יש לינק / כיוון?
Daaaamn. “AI is the asbestos we're shovelling into the walls of our technological society. Our descendants will spend generations digging it out again, and the longer the bubble goes on without popping, the longer it will take to repair the damage." www.thenerve.news/p/cory-docto...
Cory Doctorow: The people who tell you ‘AI is changing everything’ are lying
It has become impossible to tell managers mesmerised by artificial intelligence that the tools are not, in fact, helpful. So employees just play along with the fiction to keep their jobs, writes our t...

One other thing: i often write simply to work out what I think about something. But if I ask a machine to write it... what do I think? Who is actually making the judgements in the work? Slippery and uneasy terrain.

This has been studied quite a bit, the solar panels create a sort of greenhouse effect for the plants underneath them while also generating energy which feels like it should be cheating but is real and literally only has upsides.
Massachusetts farm installs 832 solar panels above berry fields, and the berries grown underneath turned out sweeter and juicier and could change the future of American farming - The Economic Times share.google/GDGqQBgisqhG...

ראיתי עכשיו את תשדיר התעמולה של ישראל כ״ץ ועכשיו אני הולך לעקור לעצמי את העיניים ולשטוף אותן באקונומיקה. אני עדיין מתלבט איפה לקבור את האזניים כך שלא ימצאו אותן לעולם. ואנשי suno צריכים לעמוד למשפט על פשעים נגד האנושות.
To the guy I met yesterday who doesn't play games, doesn't program, and doesn't want to work on art, yet decided to make a visual novel using generative AI: I hope I talked you out of it.
It's boring and expensive but infrastructure is the best way to deal with the future. Water companies should have been building reservoirs, but they've been loading up with debt and paying dividends. Nationalise, build, and prepare for this being what summer is now.
Relentless UK heatwaves turn ‘green and pleasant land’ brown
Visible impact of warming climate is impossible to ignore across landscapes that have been starved of rainfall

הילדים שאלו אם יש אתר שמרכז את כל המפלגות והמצע שלהן. אני מודה שאני בעצמי לא סגורה על מי רץ ובאיזה הרכב. יש משהו זמין ופשוט (שאינו להכנס לוויקי ולחפש אחת אחת)?

Look. Maybe it's getting overused, I don't know. What I do know is that if you put an oldschool BIOS screen into your gsme along with some classic PC loading noises like a floppy check and an old HDD seek sound, I will nod in agreement and nostalgia. Just saying.
איזה צ'יקמוק, בחיי.
החלק שאני הכי אוהב בבחירות הקרובות זה שהחליפו את האתר המאובטח שבו היה ניתן לבדוק את פנקס הבוחרים, וישב תחת gov.il, במספר וואטסאפ שמופיע תחת השם "באבקום". אם הייתי רוצה לאסוף פרטים אישיים של ישראלים, אני מתקשה לחשוב על משהו שיהפוך אותם לפגיעים יותר מאשר לדעת *שיש* ערוץ רשמי כזה.
Using lists of three is not an "AI tell." It's a common trait in human writing because our brains biologically want to make sure there's always one thing to marry, one thing to fuck, and one thing to murder.

Blimps are so handy for signifying that a story is taking place in a parallel universe. You open a scene in iconic London but holy fuck is that a *blimp*? and you know you're in a parallel universe. Easiest shorthand ever. I think Fringe did it?
Batman the animated series made me believe in a formative manner that there’d be a whole Fucking lot more goddamn blimps in my life. But there’s almost no blimps. Every time I see a blimp, I gasp. I shouldn’t have to gasp. Blimp should be around for my life. Where blimp
Honestly I think the climate & clean energy world is too dominated by nerds preoccupied with Facts and Science. What they need to do is just hire a bunch of hot people to say nice things about clean energy online. Don't overthink it. Just hire hot people who know how to use selfie sticks.
The first 9 pages of #CrystalHeart (thanks, carousel!) If you like the vibe of these, the full graphic novel has 300 more. And--as is often the case with webcomics--the art and writing get about 7 years' worth better as it goes! www.uptofourplayers.com/crystal-hear...
