@bryanhansel Also, I came across some Lino cut artists on Facebook the other day don’t know his name, but he does is extremely detailed pieces and you might also enjoy the woodcuts of Rosemary Feit Covey.
@bryanhansel no but it was about appropriation of someone’s oeuvre (I think Van Gogh) to train an AI bot to do art. The vibe of the piece was consonant with the other commenter here. It’s not necessarily can we do it but should we do it?
@ct_bergstrom At what point does the CDC, the department of justice, and the FBI get involved with this. I mean, I’m no lawyer, but RICO laws or health emergency or something. @FBI

This is #AirPollution in #Minneapolis’s #Phillips (and some of #Seward) right now.
Covid didn’t win us the air quality standards that we deserve, but more of us understand what we’re living with all the time, and the increasing wildfires (and weather extremes) coming with the changing climate will make this worse and worse. So what are we going to do about it?
@wrigleyfield Longfellow must also be really bad tonight. I took the dog out, and I literally thought there was a fire next-door. It’s that hazy. And the odor was spent jet fuel from the airport, 6 miles away!

I asked ChatGPT to describe a linocut it would make based on Edgar Allen Poe and then how would it ask an AI to make an image of it.
ChatGPT calculated this: '"The Raven": "A large raven perched on a branch, with a skull and a quill pen nearby, a faint image of a man in the background, a book in the front corner and a moon in the background"'
Then I fed that to Stable Diffusion 2.1 and got this output.
Maybe I should carve and print this? Would it be art?
@bryanhansel Did you hear the piece on NPR today about this very topic?

Co-founder Rob Morris tweeted a description of the trial in this thread, in which he explicitly describes the activity as an experiment.

I don't even know where to start with this one. Apparently the mental health service kokocares.org ran a multi-day trial where their "peer supporters" used ChatGPT to craft their responses to the people they were providing with mental health support.

Elevator door in Foshay Tower, Minneapolis.
@mara I was a postdoc there 2002-2004 and joined many of the marches, parades and rallies. I think they were striking for 6 wks and the vote was close, but failed so this is excellent news!

After DECADES of hard work, the #GraduateStudentWorkers at Yale just won their union election with 91% of votes!
Not only is this awesome for them, but unionized #labor at #Yale just added more than 3,000 workers to our ranks! I’m so happy and excited!
Welcome into the fold, #Local33!
