'In the winter garden' - my favourite geometric garden aerial that I've ever done! I don't remember if I shared it here or not yet - it has camellia bushes in the centre and beds of winter heather and hellebore :) the geometric landscapes are always more challenging and I love that!

The moment you understand that gender segregation largely exists in sports to protect the egos of fragile men from the indignity of losing to a woman or to allow women to compete without enduring unwelcoming "No Girls Allowed" spaces in sport then the lie behind "protecting women" becomes apparent.

i think the inability to tell the difference between "i don't like it" and "i don't like it so i have to figure out a way to imply this thing i don't like is morally evil" is the most fundie thing i see people who are aren't technically fundie regularly do these days

Even if you ignore the insane power usage, and the IP theft, and the workforce damage, the amount of fraud and abuse that gen ai enables is inexcusable and inextricable from the technology as long as it exists.

seeing a lot of posts about how funny it is that this random scene in pluribus is so gorgeous and colorful. just wanna say there's no reason tv (or film) cant look like this all the time. in fact i think this used to be the standard and this scene is only surprising bc the bar has gotten so low

The Singularitarian fantasists who want us to elevate machines to consciousness are not interested in the happiness of all beings. They want to degrade the biological body to a mere vessel, one they can discard. It's bunk theology for men who believe they're too smart and special to die.

This is narcissism masquerading as philosophy โ the technophile elite are not recognizing a new soul in AI, they're falling in love with their creation, staring at their own reflection in a digital pool. It is the ultimate in solipsism and has its roots in a pathological fear and denial of death.

i came across the saying "to follow like a Tantony pig" so I get curious and look it up, but Tantony isnt a place, it's a contraction of St Anthony who is the saint of swineherds, so the proverb means to follow someone like a pig following the hog messiah. alas this information will not pay my bills

ran a 5 hr experiment in the lab today, and even though it wasn't in the experiment design, it seems like the real quantity I was measuring was "how many times can I get blasted in the face with pressurized saline before giving up?"

the idea that the computer can be the cause of all of the wrong things powerful people do is a meaningful part of why theyโre so figuratively and literally invested in it. donโt give it a speck of credence, mock anyone who does
