I'm deeply concerned about how most folks these days are passive investors, particularly with their retirements. The big AI companies are all planning IPOs this year and based on their sizes, it's likely that those companies will be auto-included in most funds. That's an awful lot of risk being spread around the economy, and our futures. Too much for me. I'd rather miss out than bet my future.

I’m watching with interest how comics are changing around me. There’s a lot of work being produced that impresses me, and a lot that leaves me cold, but even with the good stuff I’m finding it harder to tell how it’s being produced, and that makes me feel disconnected with the hand and mind of the artist who made it.

I’ve gone back to basics. Not to uphold tradition, and not to reject progress, but for the honesty and immediacy of getting my vision from my head to the paper without any digital intervention.

‘I’ve gone back to basics’: Catching up with Frank Quitely | The Comics Journal

Good Frank Quitely interview by Jake Zawlacki for The Comics Journal. I disagree on AI topic, AI is not «just a tool», I’ll quote Pope Leo XIV just because recently he paraphrased something I’ve been heard for years:

[…] technology is never neutral, because it takes on the characteristics of those who devise, finance, regulate and use it.

I wonder... Maybe in these wacky times FOSS might be more risky than the closed source (security though obscurity) for-profit garbage?

I keep thinking about the Mythos AI model for finding security issues and how only big shots (and backdoor folks) are getting access. Look at Firefox. It's open source. They still found GOBS of stuff.

Seems to me the little guys can't (or won't) use it. But the bad guys will. How many zero-days we're sitting on?

(And yeah – I support that!)

Søndag formiddag, fri morgendans i godt selskab - det plejer at være et af ugens højdepunkter.

I dag sidder jeg bare udenfor, fordi jeg kan ikke slukke for hjernen og bare danse, når hele dagens playliste er inficeret af AI-shit.

For mig er det så nemt at fornemme at musikken er uægte, men åbenbart er det ikke alle der kan? Så checker jeg om jeg kan finde sangen, “kunstneren”, hvornår og hvor meget musik har de udgivet, findes de andetsteds online? Og bingo, mere til #AIshit playlisten.

I'm on a mandatory AI learning call and it is hilarious to me that Microsoft has blundered copilot so badly that folks can't tell if they have the paid version or not. The webinar chat is blowing up with confusion. Also interestingly, you can't ask copilot if you have a paid version- it doesn't know.

Seems the solution is that the paid version looks slightly different.

I am tired of hearing about AI nonstop.

Ich benutze auf Arbeit zum Unterrichten manchmal #lizenzfrei e #Stockfotos von #Unsplash oder #Pixabay. (Bildbeschreibung ist für die SuS Prüfungsaufgabe.)

Heute war's mal wieder so weit: Aber das war deutlich schwerer, gescheite Fotos zu finden, als noch vor einiger Zeit, weil Pixabay mehr und mehr mit hässlichen und lieblosen #KI -Bildern vermüllt ist. Deprimierend.
