I see "open" AI is getting scrutiny on here lately for not really being open (or *that* open).

I kind of agree with that, although I'm seeing a fair bit of value in applications of generative "AI" which are more open.

Familiar of Zero. How nostalgic.

Nyaruko: Crawling with Love / Haiyore! Nyaruko-san was a funny Cthulhu mythos inspired #anime filled with cute girls.

I've watched a couple of seasons of it so far, although there is still more to see.

Yes, yes, I would recommend that anime.

ChatGPT for "content moderation" falls squarely into the bracket of clearly awful and anyone who pitches this for this should be treated as the grifters they so clearly are.

Prima Doll. An #anime about cute androids. Created for war and repurposed in a café.

Accelerator, everyone's favorite esper, lol.

Privacy International explains why privacy and trust in such privacy is important and why the U.K.'s surveillance proposal is bad.

When you're depressed and someone goes on about how fine you apparently are <_<

I'll finish watching Legend of the Galactic Heroes one day.

"An Ohio initiative that would legalize marijuana for recreational use officially qualified for this November's ballot yesterday"

"the Ohio initiative would set a minimum purchase and possession age of 21. Adults 21 or older would be allowed to publicly possess up to 2.5 ounces of marijuana—the same as the limit in Michigan but higher than the one-ounce maximum in Illinois—and grow up to six plants at home."
