Every time someone talks to ChatGPT for 20 exchanges or so ... ... Microsoft's servers use a half-liter of freshwater to cool down AI is *thirsty* My essay on some implications of this: @clivethompson/ai-is-thirsty-37f99f24a26e" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@clivethompson… "Friend" link, for non-Medium-subscribers: clivethompson.medium.com/ai-is-thirsty-…

The major media coverage of AI is outta fucking control. I can't believe how uncritical, inflated, and credulous the reporting is right now. It feels like such a total regression to the early days of the sharing economy. nytimes.com/2023/05/01/sci…

Probably the best thing you'll see today. In 2017, a group of developers hilariously competed for who could create worst volume control interface in the world. The results 🧵 1/22

@itszaeok In middle school I had a substitute teacher named Ms. White who got married and hyphenated her name only to come back as Mrs. White-Dick. She lasted one day.

no bc when teachers got married and changed their name in elementary school, why was the new name always insane omg

@alloveranthony Commission. About a month after my father was elected county commissioner.

Everyone remembers the word that got them kicked out of the elementary spelling bee, right? Mine was yacht.

@TheAmberPicota We've had this happen twice with our cats. Both times it turned out to be UTIs. They told us they form crystals that hurt them when they urinate so they start to avoid the litter box. Switching to canned food for UTIs did the trick both times. Hope this works for you too.

Someone please help me understand. Why is my cat pissing all over my bedroom & how can I stop the madness? I am shampooing the carpet daily with urine destroyer. Buttermilk has been my baby for 8 years… but this is gonna get him put up for adoption. 😭😭 JK but dang!!!

@Dr0lu I'd suggest the $250-300/hr range, though you could go higher if it is a high profile case. Remember that they aren't simply using your analysis, but using your credibility to make their case. That is worth a lot as an expert witness.

Uhhhhh what hourly rate does one charge as a music theory expert witness in a music copyright case?

Whoa, had no idea these had Raspberry Pis under the hood

@michaelgarydean @audioprogrammer @cycling74 @UnrealEngine I'm working on the same thing! Let me know how your exploration goes. I wonder if we could get this added to the export destinations.

@prof_kozak Happy with what you have to be happy with. youtu.be/R3P89TZGr7o

@keithkothman Treat yo self!

@snaglee2401 Do you think your work on Live Writing has any overlap here? Kind of like the high you get from musical improvisation vs playing notes off the page. Maybe this is you reaching the live writing stage of paper development.

Does anybody experience something like a last-minute writer's high? It can be fun to measure the adrenaline levels of those who enjoy last-minute writing to see if this is a real thing. Maybe I purposely procrastinate work to feel this again. #chi2023

@stefasera @AES_AVAR2022 Me too! I'm partial to hybrid reality at the moment. A recognition that we spend time in all sorts of created realities and that they interact with and inform each other. Thank you for posting all of the XR audio stuff recently. Looking forward to joining on Wednesday.

@MoslenerSara Purity Culture – the Erection of a Christian Stumbling Block Maybe this is more a book title than a podcast.

@tressiemcphd This is such a good reading list

What I had to say about AI in 2018, and pretty much what I say today.
