→ YouTube’s Sneaky AI ‘Experiment’
https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2025/08/youtube-shorts-ai-upscaling/683946/

“[…] #YouTube is using AI to tweak videos on its platform, without #creators’ knowledge.”

“This is an odd turn for "social" media to take. Platforms that are supposedly based on the idea of connecting #people with one another, or at least sharing experiences and performances—YouTube’s slogan until 2013 was "Broadcast #Yourself"—now seem focused on getting us to consume #impersonal, algorithmic gruel.”

🔴 **Water and Gruel – not Bread: Discovering the Diet of Early Neolithic Farmers in Scandinavia**

_“The results support a hypothesis that archaeobotanists and archaeologists elsewhere in Northern Europe also have proposed after discovering remains of grains cooked into porridge and gruel: that the first farmers did not live on water and bread but rather on water and gruel, alongside berries, nuts, roots, and meat.”_

Dear New Friends of 024, 

As a #Raspbian, #Raspberry and antique #heffalump, I am #happy to meat everyone. Even if only for a #spell … 

Today will I be:

• Plugging ye #olde Raspberry #Pi 3 into a #HDMI TV to renew my #commitment to #underpowered #computing and high #resolution accessories?
• #Turning or #Turing it off and on again …
• #Scouring the fediverse for #smart people to keep the stupid (mostly me) at GNU bay
• Having a #grueling day, #starting with #gruel for #brekkie with #seeded #bread and real vegan #butter (cows are vegan right?)
