@glarange72 @emollick To me AI should be able to build great art. It has access to so much collective feedback on what makes impactful art. They should be able to trigger powerful emotions of viewers with that much combined insight. However, I think nuanced art would be harder to grasp.

AI is close to passing the Lovelace Test, a Turing Test, but for creativity. It challenges AI to fool humans under constrained creativity: "create a story in which a boy falls in love with a girl, aliens abduct the boy, and the girl saves the world with the help of a talking cat"

If you, or your family members, can make the time please think of volunteering this week. EMO is significantly short of volunteers for comfort centres.

Kilian Jornet (NNormal) wins the 2022 #UTMB in 19:49:30. His fourth win of UTMB. He breaks the previous course record with Pyramides Calceires (20:19:09, Pau Capell, 2019) and the overall course record without Pyramides (20:11:44, François D’Haene, 2014).

My god, I hate being lectured on how to do Ukrainian placements. I don't post identifying information, only first names. I vet my hosts thoroughly. The person who just warned me that posting information about a teenage boy on Twitter was dangerous can FRO. Blocked.

@johnbspears Get it but always a balancing act - if you push to the breaking point every time you get burned out very quickly

Consistency beats intensity. If you can workout for 45 minutes, make your session 30. If you can do an hour, make it 45 minutes. Never completely exhaust yourself or you may never come back.

Mostly done with resin, a few bubbles in the end from pouring itself, but will live with it! This is with sunlight, so colour worked out as I wanted very deep/dark with normal room lights.

As a minor break-from-tech-stuff I decided to make a desk out of one (1) largish piece of wood, that I started this weekend. Will use this thread to track progress if interested!

@stevemagness With all the data that garmin and strava have on athletes it boggles my mind how bad they are at offering training programs or predicting race times.

After I took a break from running and started back up, my watch now told me I was severely overtraining every single day for weeks on end...even though I was running only 4-5 miles easy. Know when to completely ignore the algorithm.

The world of exercise and fitness is littered with so much nonsense. It's easy to get fooled by hype and fads. Let's sort through the mess. Here’s what most people get wrong about fitness: A THREAD on exercise myths. 🧵👇👇

I don't want to talk about the 600 million dollars that was spent on an election to show our apathy towards our current uninspiring political leadership. Instead here is a safe shark interaction.
