Well, I have now been quoted calling SpaceX "fuckweasels" in a real publication by real journalists: https://au.pcmag.com/ai/116598/spacex-to-start-small-with-1-million-satellite-plan-pushes-back-on-critics

I guess I am proud of myself? (They are, indeed, fuckweasels, for their complete lack of care for the atmosphere that we all depend on, as well as not caring about Kessler Syndrome, or light pollution, or smashing people on the ground...)

SpaceX To Start Small With 1 Million Satellite Plan, Pushes Back On Critics

The company's rebuttal to the FCC mentions launching orbital data center constellation in phases, and studying potential atmospheric impacts. SpaceX also threw plenty of shade at Amazon.

Machine translations are often brought up as a gotcha whenever I criticize LLMs. It's worth pointing out two things: Machine translations existed decades before LLMs, and yes, machine translations are useful. However: I would never in my life read a machine translated book. Understanding what a social media post is talking about in rough terms? Sure. Literature? Absolutely not. Hell, have you ever seen machine translated subtitles? It's absolute garbage.

'Basin' (2025)

Last year I had the chance to visit Tasmania for the first time & to have a crack at the first day of the Overland track.

That walk is unreal & very cold in the off-season, the weather kept changing & clouds kept shifting across the landscape.

"They're going full steam ahead to figure out how to wring a profit out of this stuff," EFF’s Cooper Quintin told @Bbcworld. "There are countless ways to abuse this." https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20260218-i-hacked-chatgpt-and-googles-ai-and-it-only-took-20-minutes

I hacked ChatGPT and Google's AI - and it only took 20 minutes

I found a way to make AI tell you lies – and I'm not the only one.

Photo of some fabric printing blocks from Dakshina Chitra. Looks like I didn't notice at the time that the display of progressively printed patterns below was interesting enough to photograph on its own.
