Hey all, you might've already noticed, but I've mostly migrated off this account. Going to submit the account move form shortly.

tabletop.social will forever be my first mastodon home, but my identity consolidation experiments went remarkably well, so I'll be jumping over to @nebulos. See you all over there. :)

I want to show you part of my art process with this illustration I made that features the Immortal Jellyfish✨

On one side, the sketch/clean lines, with no color.
On the other, the finished piece.

Brutalist architecture says "the rich and powerful don't care enough to make public spaces nice to be in"

Brutalist web design says "I'm made by an enthusiast desperate to share what I know with you, even though I'm not very aesthetic"

in general I've been ...disappointed? in the direction of ML/AI over the past few years, which seems to be to just pump more and more data into less and less structured models. I always thought the best, most interesting directions were to encode human knowledge into these models but also give them the capabilities to expand beyond these initial structures. in many ways large language models and emergent behavior is the epitome of this approach.

seriously though it's like expecting your parser to fetch shit from a database. it's a really parameterized parser so someone shoved a lot of database shit in there but that doesn't make it a replacement for an actual database

aaahhhhh

gonna give myself a stroke internally yelling "ITS A LANGUAGE MODEL IT MODELS LANGUAGE"

internally yelling only bc I don't blame laypeople for freaking out when the industry keeps hyping it up as more than that. I don't yell at the industry because none of them follow me.

Ingenious, Indigenous cartography: The Tunumiit (Eastern Greenlandic Inuit) practice of carving portable maps out of driftwood to be used while navigating coastal waters. These pieces, which are small enough to be carried in a mitten, represent coastlines in a continuous line, up one side of the wood and down the other. The maps are compact, buoyant, and can be read in the dark.
