Please remember that the Pollution-Industrial Complex has been preparing for •decades• to make the pivot from “there is no climate crisis” to “it’s too late to do anything!”

Please remember that hopeless doomerism is part of fossil fuel’s PR strategy.

This isn’t doom. This is all hands on deck. This is “tear down the gates and storm the castle.”

I find these timelines very useful. Only that for me the interesting starts with Parti and Midjourney v4 (there's also a thing called Structured Diffusion Guidance), because these models also work on scene composition. Everything before that is pure randomness

A recent paper proposes a systematic approach for prompt refining for generators. Yet, they work only on style. No consideration of scene composition, which some generators now support.

Tusky

If you have #dyslexia , do alternative fonts in apps help with the reading experience?

If yes, are Atkinson Hyperlegible or OpenDyslexic useful fonts to use with #Tusky? Are there others (that are freely redistributable).

The attached screenshots show what this would look like.

Please boost for reach.

"Friederike Otto, a climate scientist at Imperial College London, cautioned against thinking that we've reached a "new normal," since that implies a semblance of stability."

"We’re nowhere near a normal, we’re in a phase of accelerated warming, because we are still increasing greenhouse gas emissions. The result is the weather we see. Whenever we stop burning fossil fuels we can begin to figure out what 'normal' means again."

OK seriously... folks tell me they save time using AI to write emails. I ask them why they don't use templates as they are even quicker than AI. The most common response is "what is a template?"

@ClaraListensprechen4 @khird @freemo I've just recently discovered how useful the federated tab is. Anyone aware of developments to apply user-selected filters on it? I'd be interested to help out with developing that, as I think it's a current weakness of the fediverse.

Integrating a chatbot w no connection to truth into search, a service people use to learn new info, is a wretchedly bad call that will likely have serious consequences.

IMO we'll look back at this moment with the same cringe we now reserve for NFTs.

Which is not to say "AI" and NFTs are analogous. But the religious fervor and willingness to say any old ungrounded thing in service of hyping this tech is drawing from the same Web3 well.
