I have tons of fireflies in my yard *every* year! The weather may make conditions for them extra favorable, but you can help foster a great firefly habitat by not using poisons or fertilizers on your yard, having areas of tall grasses and native plants, and leaving some leaf litter.

Fireflies appear to be putting on an especially dazzling show across Ohio this summer and a local bug expert says it is all thanks to a combination of favorable conditions. https://www.wowktv.com/news/ideal-conditions-around-ohio-create-dazzling-display-of-fireflies/

"Everybody forgets that just about every other attempt by Meta or Google or Microsoft or Amazon to expand outside of their core competencies (if you can call them that) has failed. Everybody is desperate to ignore the fact that Silicon Valley startups have, for the most part.."

Black Forest Labs (like Stability AI) likely took a bunch of work off the internet in order to train their AI. A bill in California would force transparency in their dataset. Want to help it pass? Please sign this petition in support, it'll take you 2 minutes: tinyurl.com/4uxbp963 1/

1/ This company’s models were trained on web scraped datasets (like LAION) and their founders are ex-Stability AI employees who engage in the same thieving practices that led artists like myself to sue Stability. GenAi companies NEED big names to sanitize their exploitation and crippling PR.

Screenshot of an X announcement by Black Forest Labs: Martin Scorsese is an advisor to Black Forest Labs. He's spent six decades shaping how the world sees stories. Now he's helping us shape visual intelligence with human taste and craft at the center. We sat down with him for a working storyboarding session using FLUX.
