This week: a continuing Israeli & Western-backed genocide, reports of the US secretly murdering North Korean civilians, the unchallenged Israeli expansion of an illegal nuclear arsenal, the US blowing up a ship in international waters, and the fascist Department of War. The rules-based order.

Back in 2021, I made a big orchestral/choir cover of Hornet's Theme for a Hollow Knight tribute album. Except I never posted my own track, because I thought "SURELY we'll have a Silksong release date this year, I'll post it then!!" 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡 ...So anyway here's "Upon Her Sacred Thread" LOL

Upon Her Sacred Thread (Hornet - Hollow Knight Orchestral Cover)

The fact that the thing we're calling artificial intelligence *can't do math* and yet we're jamming it into programs that successfully *have done math* for decades, then warning people against using the AI to do math, seems like an excellent summary of where we are.

Good thing no one uses Microsoft Excel for anything related to legal, regulatory or compliance business functions www.theverge.com/news/761338/...

Microsoft Excel adds Copilot Al to help ...

The Verget-4.1-mini Al model | 5
successor to the LABS.GENERATIVEAI function Microsoft started experimenting
with in 2023.
Microsoft notes that you can combine its new Al function with other Excel functions, including IF, SWITCH, LAMBDA, or WRAPROWS. The company adds that information sent through Excel's COPILOT function is "never" used for AI training, as "the input remains confidential and is used solely to generate your requested output."
The COPILOT function comes with a couple of limitations, as it can't access information outside your spreadsheet, and you can only use it to calculate 100 functions every 10 minutes. Microsoft also warns against using the AI function for numerical calculations or in “high-stakes scenarios” with legal, regulatory, and compliance implications, as COPILOT "can
give incorrect responses."
