Journalist challenge: Use “Machine Learning” when you mean machine learning and “LLM” when you mean LLM. Ditch “AI” as a catch-all term, it’s not useful for readers and it helps companies trying to confuse the public by obscuring the roles played by different technologies.

AOC: “MTG is carefully timing her departure just 1-2 days after her pension kicks in and after making millions of dollars insider trading stocks for weapons manufacturers and others while in office. She is saying a lot but her ACTIONS have
not backed up the rhetoric. For all her talk, she's STILL voting with them to gut healthcare and advance self-dealing corruption schemes.”

The same administration that's allowing swastikas in the Coast Guard is firing people over pride flags.

Pretty excited to see a bunch of Gen Z guys in a decade with their really weird jaw and neck muscles from habitually mewing.

How delightfully quaint some of these old Devon village names are, their etymologies lost in the mists of time.

And now MBS is getting the blood-red carpet treatment to the White House. Vile and disgusting. Absolute thugs rule us.

@warandpeas The image caption/alt text mentions a third witch flying on a hoverboard? Where did that come from?

@trilader
Also mentioning one on a "scooter/moped" which actually is a vacuum cleaner (the canister style).

Peter Drake 6d ago

@nrdblkn @trilader @warandpeas ... and the disapproving witch is presumably not "young", at least not compared to the "kids these days" she's complaining about.

if @warandpeas uses genA"I" for alt text without even at the very least disclosing it? i'm out.

@warandpeas i actually want to be roomba witch that looks so fun

@warandpeas introducing: the dyson pencilvac - for fed up traditionalist witches of the modern era!

A black and white cartoon. A witch is standing on the ground, looking disappointedly at two other witches who fly on different kinds of vacuum cleaners (a modern robot vacuum cleaner, and an old-fashioned tubal one), in the night under crescent moon. The caption reads "Kids these days... Don't even know how to drive the stick anymore."

@warandpeas "A black and white cartoon showing witches with different modes of transportation under a crescent moon. One presumably older witch stands on the ground looking up disapprovingly, two witches fly through the sky. One witch is sitting on a tow-behind vacuum, riding it like a scooter/moped. The witch is standing on a robot vacuum. The caption reads: 'Kids these days... Don't even know how to drive the stick anymore.' The cartoon is signed "War & Peas"."

@warandpeas
Why is the alt text not quite right? Is that an AI written alt text?

Wilfried Klaebe 5d ago

@swope Sounds like it, it enumerates three flying witches.

@warandpeas I grew up in the ‘70s and my older sibs had a collection of books, one of which had a drawing on the cover of a witch riding a canister vac like your drawing. It broke my 5 year old brain and I’ve never recovered.

@warandpeas I imagine a witch riding a Roomba with her arms down at her sides like those wild electric unicycles you occasionally see people zooming on.

2 things spring to mind here...

A stick would be a millenial antitheft device.

Secondly, Roomba is going broke and the devices may get bricked. Which would make it a bit uncomfortable if that happens mid flight 😎

@warandpeas top tier work!
