@leashless Diana is on a very even-keel with her statement. UFOs are absolutely the impetus for a new religious movement. And UFOs do show up on radar from time to time seemingly.

I get making troll posts to own the libs and dem pols sure, but just random AI slop meme stuff? Why?

I don’t really believe people think this kind of posting by the White House is awesome

@AlmostMedia I wonder how integral the "all characters are user generated" component is. Status is definitionally zero-sum. If there are agents conferring status, will I accept it as legitimate? We're anthropromophizing the shit out of these llms rn so probably.

Reinventing status from the ground up is going to be so bizarre.

@jordanfrankfurt Also got my LTC from there, also do not want the quasi-private surveillance company.

I live a few blocks down from one of the shootings. I got my LTC from the gun store they robbed to get their weapons.
Words cannot express how much I do not want Flock cameras in my neighborhood.

Last year, the city of Austin turned off their Flock cameras as the result of a targeted misinformation campaign. This weekend, for nearly 24 hours, three suspects drove around Austin in stolen vehicles, undetected, conducting a shooting spree at 12 separate locations. They shot multiple people, houses, apartment buildings, businesses, and fire stations. They committed multiple robberies and car thefts during the spree. Despite a full manhunt involving 200 officers, with helicopter and K9 support, they weren't able to locate the suspects, and the spree continued. Luckily, the suspects drove into the Flock-supported city of Manor, TX. Manor is a small city with ~20k residents, and a fraction of Austin's budget. What they do have is modern technology and the ability not to fall victim to misinformation campaigns. After the suspects drove into Manor to continue their shooting spree, Manor PD located them almost immediately. The residents of Manor stayed safe. This is a tale of two cities. I love Austin. I have plenty of friends who live there. I myself almost moved there years ago. I'm glad that the shooting spree is over, but I just wish it never happened.

The first edition of Sedea has found its home.
Tamer Wali invited us to his home to share the collection he has been building his whole life. It is a curation of very well known artists, but most importantly, only the things that speak to him at a deep level.
The physical sculpture will be installed on its own plinth, and the digital soul is Tamer’s first artwork minted on a blockchain.
Thank you Tamer!

@micsolana As a guy who grew up in gold country in a town called "Chinese Camp", I feel confident in saying it's not *not* about racism.

friend’s daughter is currently learning about the gold rush in a bay area elementary school. did you know the main thing about it was racism?

What did y’all think assimilation meant? vibes? papers? essays?
FBI Sacramento@FBISacramento
Founder of the Hells Angels-affiliated "Punjabi Devils," attempted to sell several illegal weapons to an undercover officer then skipped court, and booked a one-way flight to India in an attempt evade his charges. CBP notified the #FBI. Agents arrested him at SFO. Yesterday, he was sentenced to 64 months in federal prison. justice.gov/usao-edca/pr/f…

@CostelloWilliam That sounds neat, but I think this person is actually on stimulants?

Social media increasingly rewards “static” over “dynamic” attractiveness.
Rachel Zegler is optimizing for the single frozen frame rather than how she looks in motion.
You can see similar effects with lip filler and heavy makeup, which may look good on insta but jarring irl.

Looks like Rachel Zegler had one line too many before the Met Gala.

It’s incredible how often the Pareto principle shows up in the real world.
In our aerial survey data, 80% of the plastic in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch was concentrated in just ~20% of the surveyed surface area.
(This, btw, is why we're focusing on targeting the hotspots)

@michaelmiraflor @todayyearsold So who's making who more valuable?
Do I pay a premium for the Rock because he's wearing the watch?
Or do I pay a premium for the watch because it's on the Rock?
Both?
English
@todayyearsold he's just wearing it man he didn't buy or pay for it.

The ultra rich live in a different orbit.
$3.3M would completely change anyones life. That’s generational money if you’re not reckless. For the Rock, that’s literally just a watch.
FearBuck@FearedBuck
The Rock wore a $3.3M Jacob & Co Billionaire III watch at the Met Gala, encrusted with diamonds.

@202accepted No doubt. Publicly exposed assets will be defaced in CA. The sidewalk is some heavily contested real estate lol

@sethmpate Austin is a special place with laws that are enforced, difficult concept for California to understand

Plus, having a face lets us anthropomorphize the inanimate
If I kick an @Avrideai and it frowns, I'll have some cognitive dissonance from hurting my new friend
Not to mention, a face will help me be less freaked out by the automata interacting with me in a quasi-human fashion
English
Delivery robots are inherently social because they are occupying human spaces.
Interacting with humans in transit is a social activity; we project our intentions to enable others to predict our navigational intent! Robots that occupy these spaces will invariably do the same.
English
@202accepted These have been roamin in Austin for years.
The LED's are a fairly recent addition; they make faces to express their emotions. Kick the robot, it makes a sad face.
Less robots get kicked because now it's our little buddy, not some cold, computer vision driven delivery miracle
English
people are unironically gonna take pot shots at this thing
i hope it’s bullet resistant
unlike people shooting at waymos, there’s no risk of people inside
i know in LA people bash, shoot, and run over those little remote controlled food delivery rovers

At DoorDash Labs, we're building a ground up-vehicle for autonomous deliveries, developing a logistics system using the latest tools in AI and deep learning. These are some of the people making sure Dot is ready for the road.
