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...

AI is optimising the cheapest part of production

all my friends should be unemployed and have all the time in the world while also mysteriously having enough money to live comfortably

They should make a hobby for adults that’s not expensive or hard on your joints.

Your honor, I love it #notart #irl #kittens

In 1986, contracting HIV meant you were going to die, usually slowly, painfully, and alone. Now it's a chronic illness like hypertension. In 1986, gay and lesbian couples couldn't have their relationships legally recognized and had to adopt elaborate legal workarounds.

Food, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.

Is this the time for me to share that I know some people who lost their jobs during one of the biggest animation job crises in the modern animation industry because Hank Green turned his back on the team that animated Crash Course for years I hate him for AI but I already kinda hated him for this

Corey Brickley@coreybrickley.bsky.social · yesterday

it's crazy to me people still insist ai for research is reliable when we now have an Hbomberguy video's worth of evidence that its unreliability is tanking Hank Green's career

claude should only refer to that one guy from fire emblem

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...

let's pretend: Universal announces a screenwriting contest for Jaws 5. What's your pitch?

Jaws 5: The Curse of Jaws, where we discover that Jaws’s mom, from Jaws 3-D, was impregnated by SATAN, and Jaws was supposed to be the antichrist.

That's what taxes are, man. That's the definition of taxes. "You are subsidizing things you might never use" man shut the fuck up. My taxes currently subsidize like oil company exec private jets, you think I'm upset at low-income people eating inexpensive bananas?

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

Since #artfight is over, a gentle reminder that you can just draw gifts for your friends/artists you like at any point of the year 🎁 #laveyaps

I put on The Last Stand for some reason and all I can think of is the greatest tumblr post of all time

Heads up, artists 🚨 There’s a massive scam wave hitting DeviantArt right now DO NOT CLICK IT. If you have artist friends on DA, please boost this. I’d hate to see someone lose their account or payment info over something this stupid 🖤 { #DeviantArt #ArtistBeware #ScamAlert }

AI companies are trying to do this, but with human knowledge. It's why they're destroying the books. Wipe out our ability to think for ourselves, then own the means of thinking.

Is everyone aware of the General Motors streetcar conspiracy? In the mid-20th century, auto and oil interests bought up electric streetcar systems across the US and systematically replaced them with bus routes and paved roads, funneling commuters toward private cars.

in roughly 15 years I’m going to switch my professional focus to giving therapy to kids whose parents raised them with AI and I’m going to make enough money to buy San Francisco

AI is robbing you of the opportunity to make this instead

The next time you consider making a flier with AI, please also consider that the most intriguing ad I’ve seen this week is a garage sale sign made of particle board with spray painted writing that reads, “GOOD SHIT —>”

This is Loki, our Maine Coon and the cat of our hearts, and he went missing today. We have no idea how he got out, but he’s an elder, indoor cat, the whole region’s in an intense heat wave, and we’re really scared. I doubt I have any followers here in Martinez, CA, but if so, help? It’s SO hot
