On July 3rd, astronaut Nichole Ayers photographed a rare Gigantic jet from the ISS. These upward directed electrical discharges extend 90-100 km high into the atmosphere.
I processed this image from the RAW file, adjusting the white balance, contrast and noise reduction.

Neko survived his long journey to see his cancer specialist yesterday…he has to give his kitty blood every 3 months, but he’s so happy to be home and enjoying Caturday 😸
Happy Caturday everyone 🥰
Zeit, mal wieder daran zu erinnern, dass "Bürgergeld" in erheblicher Höhe (7 Milliarden) eine Subvention für Unternehmen ist, die Menschen für Hungerlöhne beschäftigen.
Warum ist das OK, Bürgergeld beziehen aber eine Schande?
Die Falschen schämen sich.
Why did the global IT system break down a year ago on 19/July/2024?
Because CrowdStrike released an update that was so good at finding threats, it found a threat in itself and decided to take a much-needed, worldwide coffee break! 🤣
LLMs are not intelligent but they ARE good for spouting extruded text that mimics the zeitgeist of their training data and if that training data includes the overflowing sewer that is the unfiltered internet you're going to get gaslighting, lies, conspiracy theories, and malice. Guardrails only prevent some of it from spilling over.
Humans base their norms on their peers' opinions, so LLMs potentially normalize all sorts of horrors in discourse—probably including ones we haven't glimpsed yet.
You encounter two guards!
