the 8yo is now making unsolicited AI generated depictions of my week

A man in a gray T-shirt and brown shorts is frantically running away from a large, menacing turkey. He looks over his shoulder with an expression of terror and swings a stick behind him, trying to fend off the turkey which has its beak open in a threatening pose. The turkey’s exaggerated size and fierce demeanor add a comical yet slightly thrilling aspect to the scene set in a suburban backyard.

    in the first hour of this attack, i saw the word “unprecedented” probably 12 times, and i can’t figure out for the life of me what’s unprecedented about this situation

    Yet another Middle Eastern oil war triggered by terror attacks & a nonproportional retaliatory response, that Tories & Republicans will misuse to distract from domestic issues and maintain their rule.

    @Npars01 @kellogh The terror attack being the Israeli strike on a civilian building on Iranian soil?

    Happy !

    This guy wanted to help me trim the bushes, but got scared away by the noise of the trimmers (i’ll be quieter next time, sorry)

    This image shows a snake on a paved surface, just by a metal fence, with its shadow being cast on the ground. The sunlight is creating a stark contrast between the light and shadowed areas, highlighting the snake's sinuous form against the pavement.

    The Attack Turkey

    this morning on the run i got to the top of the hill and was resting, bc i'm out of shape, and off in the distance i see a bird trotting my way

    as it gets closer i realize it's a turkey. it had a big red gobbler and its neck was iridescent. It was actually really pretty, so i just watched as it approached

    after i got home, i looked it up and yes, turkeys can indeed be aggressive, especially around breeding time (i got news for you, Mr Turkey, i’m not your competition)

    if it happens again tomorrow, i think the answer is to be more overtly aggressive. so maybe i need to yell and chase it rather than just defensively tip toe around it. idk

    TURKEY UPDATE

    yesterday i went running again, same place. said turkey was WAITING FOR ME at the bottom of the hill.

    i'm like "f this" and turned to run away but it followed me, again.

    i started yelling at it with my best Will Ramos screams but it did not flinch

    i picked up a stick and swung hard it close to it's head, hoping that would scare it off. it was not scared off.

    i’ve become disappointed with the lobste.rs community lately. it used to be the best technical discussion on the internet, to the point that i would skip the article just to read the comments, they were that good.

    but the comments on my latest blog were 100% about packaging stuff, like appearance, linking, etc. it’s weird but hacker news is now where the real conversation happens and lobste.rs became a cesspool

    @mnl right? people complain that online content has gone down since GenAI, and yeah, it has! but maybe we got the causal relationship backwards…

    @kellogh ironically I’m having the cleanest and most stimulating online search I ever had using kagi and perplexity… actually escaping the ad driven universe

    i find the AI criticisms of Emily Bender & friends to be valuable, but they’re misquoted frequently to support arguments that AI is worthless. the papers themselves essentially just argue that the terms researchers use to talk about AI are misconstrued by the general public — basically that AI went big too soon. they acknowledge in just about every paper that AI is quite valuable

    @kellogh I find Emily Bender's social Media presence quite insufferable, full of snark and contempt, to be honest. It's partly what drives the whole "but there's just stochastic parrots" discourse. That's like "computers are just add and compare machines" and then bend all derisive about people excited about computers.

    kellogh OP ,

    @mnl her social media presence is, but if you read the peer reviewed content (the stuff that has to abide by standards), it’s actually fairly solid
