Me thinks employee, moral, and ethical implications were indeed overlooked

One thing that excites me about working with agents is the increasing number of ways more of humanity can now be builders, gaining access to the power of LLMs. LangSmith Agent Builder presents a really clever, enjoyable and awesome way to build reliable agents. Try it out!

@PINNLAND_EMPIRE @Czarface_Eso haha wow how about that

Happy heavenly birthday, DOOM. I will never stop reminding people that my voice was sampled on an MF DOOM album. #ripDOOM #MFDOOM #DOOM #czarface @Czarface_Eso #hiphop50

@garethdonkin yes! reminiscent of prime-time Michael crossed with...something different :) 🔥🔥

@sfstandard @sfstandard do you have access to the poll results (and methodology)? Could not find it on your website, or on SF CoC's.

A new poll found that 76% of voters said San Francisco is on the wrong track and 73% said quality of life has worsened. sfstandard.com/business/im-co…

@RedHatLabs @redhatservices this was too fun! well done.

@johncutlefish I got about half-way to building this in snap; seems straightforward and could be worth finishing -- only if others are willing to try it out :)

@johncutlefish how about a snap (video) filter that injects a stopwatch that tracks each individual's talk time, and turns g/y/r as you begin to ramble/dominate the conversation

@JonSternfeld Wow, looking forward to this. Just pre-ordered it!

@kelseyhightower Monetary costs (not computational), right? It seems the architecture didn't suffer from the cost of data transfer so much as it suffered from the way AWS charges for calls to S3 buckets, or for Step Function state transitions.

@garethdonkin congrats on the release, you killed it!!

@AndyPuggles her site is great, check this out for example: #tronsketch" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">wendycarlos.com/+tron.html#tro…

@AndyPuggles cool but I wish they did more analysis of the compositions and what makes them great.

To recognize #TransDayOfVisibility today, I'm bumping Switched-On Bach and the soundtracks to Tron, The Shining and Clockwork Orange -- all created by transgender pioneer and electronic music icon Wendy Carlos. Putting keyboards on a synth was her idea. How awesome!

@garethdonkin 🔥🔥So smooth as usual the world needs more of this. You dropping an album or what?!

@THEK0UNT @SkratchBastid @HuhWhatandWhere never too late to start

@mwalker5000 @SkratchBastid @HuhWhatandWhere Hell nah lol

Time to go back to my roots ⚡️

@historyinmemes Great share. Looks like hippie hill. Funny that you can still basically experience this scene and attitude there, with more diversity, drums, and fog than depicted here.

Hippies interviewed in San Francisco, 1968

@SkratchBastid @HuhWhatandWhere @THEK0UNT wait what the k0unt can cut too?!

@HuhWhatandWhere @THEK0UNT we don't

@garethdonkin is brilliant in every musical way :)

@AaronHertzmann The art and quote was from Evan Harris Walker (full disclosure: he was my great uncle). Hope you find the info useful.

@AaronHertzmann “The idea behind this picture is that by studying mathematically the compositional elements employed by the great artists, one might discover artistic principles; and with the aid of a computer, these principles could be tested by using them to generate new examples of art."

Here's a piece I've been working on to identify historical trends when new technology affects art, and their possible lessons for the current moment. It's a work-in-progress, hopefully someday bound for an academic venue. aaronhertzmann.com/2022/12/17/whe…
