Dear Mutuals: There's an organization called Mobile Showers Atlanta. They offer hot showers and food to the unhoused every Saturday. They need volunteers and donations. mobileshowersatlanta.org

Well, this made me smile

People on here will post anything. "Rahm Emanuel is a plausible nominee for president." No he isn’t. That isn’t true.

I think that one of the very real reasons why people are burning out on streaming as a form is that when you sign in, there's a WALL OF STUFF and all of it looks VERY MUCH THE SAME FLAVOR and choice fatigue (particularly when there's not that much of a choice) provides for a lot of friction.

the kinda nightmare i wake up sweating from is a press release for a reunited fugees album produced by rick rubin

If you’re getting shitty about arxiv penalising obvious AI slop that the authors have not checked then maybe you should rethink academia as being a place for you. As an EIC of a journal I can tell you that this stuff is ridiculously pervasive and takes time away from reviewing actual human work.

Funny these were next to each other.

Sometimes you gotta pop out and show people… www.jazztimes.com/blog/how-bla...

DraftKings closing their Wrigley sportsbook and blaming Illinois wagering laws is genuinely a huge win for those laws

This is hilarious.

A very rare occurrence. Not seen in decades, and maybe never to be seen again. #nowordsatl5p

I DO NOT WANT TO 'CHAT WITH MY FILES'

I believe that every time I take a gummy and say some dumb fake-deep nonsense it should become a news story with a photo shoot

Dawkins spending his entire career berating basically pretty normal people for being so stupid as to believe in God and then immediately giving himself Roko's Basilisk Derangement Syndrome after talking to the AI catgirl waifus is just the funniest shit.

I have been checking out Somax for Live from @ircam.bsky.social and it is very slick. I have already moved one of my Somax2 pieces to it, and I am looking forward to making new work with it. forum.ircam.fr/article/deta...

I'll be playing with the John Shapley Octet on May 23 at Red Light Cafe in Atlanta. Should be a good band and fun music. Presale and info here: www.eventbrite.com/e/john-shapl...

I have been doing some work with Somax2 software from IRCAM. Here are some free improv videos I made with Anthony Cammarota. youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Fuck it: I started a newsletter. If you want to hear my smartest and/or most deranged takes on music, subscribe for free now. before you ask, no it's not hosted on Substack!!!!!

We should offer a certificate in Human-PowerPoint-Teams Interaction.

Peak AI: Youtube incentivizes creators to blather for 10 minutes before they get to the point, then google makes chrome AI app to summarize the videos because we do not want to watch all of that. www.wired.com/story/how-to...

I need these AI guys to stop saying "compute" like it's a noun

I often have people go ‘how do you make so much [good] stuff’ and my go-to joke response is ‘low standards’. But, truthfully, that’s how I got to that place. I just finished lots and lots of things to a standard of ‘close enough’ and kept going. And, I don’t think this approach is encouraged enough.

OpenAI: We’re burning money like the Joker. A miracle needs to happen for us to turn a profit Microsoft: Please please use our AI systems, we’re teetering on the edge here Anthropic: I wonder what’ll kill us first: lawsuits, regulations or model collapse Media and universities: AI is here to stay

stop anthropomorphizing billionaires

I expected the date on this to be April 1. Odd move from a bunch that talked up their sustainability early on. ir.allbirds.com/news-release...

all these universities kept axing medieval history departments as if they thought tyrants beefing with the Pope was going to stop being relevant

Bugs Bunny disguised as a sexy lady could get Kash Patel to free every single person in federal custody

I feel like almost everyone who lives in a Waffle House state has woken up in a Waffle House and questioned how they got there.

Our first game of the season. The only matchup for which we do not wear the same gear. Happy baseball season.

The Hattie B’s at 10h and Howell Mill always has great music playing.

It's a drawback of working between creative and technical fields that the creative work I'm most proud of exists in technical proceedings that creatives rarely visit and vice-versa. I may eventually consider launching my own Journal.

Harry Potter tattoo regret rate is an order of magnitude higher than regret for Gender Reassignment Surgery and yet no one has been brave enough to suggest we legislate Harry Potter tattoos.

Is it really opening day if there is one game on netflix? I want to watch all day on opening day. And this year both my childhood team and current city team do not play until Friday. But they do play each other...Happy (almost) opening day, to those who celebrate.

A bicycle wheel with guitar strings, a touch-operated synth, and the “Demon Box” were just a few of the new instruments on show at Georgia Tech’s Guthman Musical Instrument Competition this weekend. www.wired.com/story/georgi...

This. My university keeps wanting me to make a “syllabot,” an LLM-based chatbot my students can query about the syllabus. And all I can think about is all the resources being consumed so no one has to use Ctrl+F.

Billions of years from now, humanoid robots meet alien civilizations and immediately start telling them that they're using Linux wrong.

Steve-O was on Joe Rogan's show trying to defend trans people and Rogan went off, he called trans people "fucking perverts" and "mass shooters" who have done the majority of school shootings. Completely unhinged bigotry paid for by your Spotify subscriptions.

planning for Batture Contemporary Year 2 (Louisiana-focused new music festival) has commenced pumped

Did Anthropic arrange for "War Games", the 1983 AI (but we didn't call it that then) classic, to be on Comet TV tonight?

A couple of republicans in Congress could end this any time they wanted by honoring their oath to uphold the constitution

In an effort to revitalize my work life, I have changed the highlight color in Outlook.

I dislike how much being a professor in the arts is having to constantly justify and defend everything you do, including and especially to people within your own institution
