#Charlottesville FLOCK camera map (can be found at deflock.me) There are 10 active cameras reported in the City limits. They need to all be promptly removed by city maintenance staff.

The full spiked 60 Minutes CECOT package, clean & subtitled. 1/5

I love that most of my timeline currently is links to the 60 mins bootleg video. Truly the best of the world wide web

Heh, as a design school grad I'd debate about scotus, with an emphasis on post structuralist theory

The person taking these listing pictures really went above and beyond

This shit better be removed soon. Happy to lend City Hall a hand if needed.

I agree with most of this thread, but I'm skeptical about what people would actually have to "do without." What exactly are the things people would be missing? More emails? Slop images and vids? Generic school assignment responses?

NO BLOOD FOR OIL! (Hate to be dusting off this protest chant from the early aughts but here we are.)

Sounds far-fetched but read through, it's not new territory

Now would be a good time for Congress to do Congress things and stop this monstrosity

So like what exactly is a "modern AI browser"? What will happen when I open a url? I'm honestly unclear how that's supposed to change a browser. (Browser ≠ search engine)

The statue of Barbara Johns, which Virginia will install today in Washington, DC is a wonderful compliment to the Virginia Civil Rights Memorial in Richmond, which features Johns and the other students, who helped to desegregate public schools. civilrightstrail.com/attraction/v...

I detest short-form video content. I want to read stuff, but I guess that sentiment is not shared by enough people to stem the tide.

Well, also school administrators who believe cops provide "safety"

Correct

That sunset was quite a show!

Also, be like his original architect and quit. No one in the profession should take on such a cursed project.

From interviewing for the S.F. board I can offer one reason why — no one wanted to take seriously any actual changes. It was plain from the start that no one thought the oversight board would do more than review a few policies, make a few tweaks.

If I see you posting "AI" slop, that's an automatic block

Yeah, no. I do not want yet another signup and app following me around

Broken windows policing. But for cops.

Generative "A.i." is actually evil.

Folks, we present web 4.0

The future is not foreclosed.

A discerning connoisseur (smoked salmon spread is irresistible even with an audience watching her attempt at acquiring it.)

Cops are their own worst marketers

Meanwhile

Come to the People’s Activist Series tomorrow!

Hey Cville Council, just take them all down

As of 6:15pm Monday: 1) Our running snowfall totals list; 2) Weather alerts still in effect; 3) School delays and closings. Temperatures in the teens tonight will lead to DANGEROUS travel through Tuesday morning. Use extreme caution if you have to travel!

"Individual liberty" is when conservatives decide everything. Their concept of liberty is just domination, not freedom to do what they want, but freedom to force everyone else to do what they want. bsky.app/profile/donm...

Again: the Purpose of LLM- type "AI" bullshit engines is not to tell you the truth or to lie to you, but to tell you something you are statistically determined to be more likely to accept, irrespective of facts— which makes them perfect for accelerating dis- & misinformation & persuasive propaganda…

They're not even trying to appear nonpartisan anymore.

Maybe there is no “cease fire.” How many reports of slaughter will we have to read along with the lie of a “cease fire?”

Sure why not let's try again to overcome the intense car-brain of downtown business owner community

Stop using Spotify plz.

What I like about the "AI" floorplan is that it's a perfect encapsulation of the effect where at a glancing view it looks fine but the minute you investigate any detail it completely falls apart. Makes visual the bullshit that in other contexts (like the written word) is more abstract.

we didn't know until the vote, where Torres mentioned that she still didn't understand why Kochis wouldn't sign the same MOU the previous chief did. the answer was that Kochis didn't feel it was legally enforceable, and asked his officers not to follow state laws on school grounds.

Oh shit, I didn't know this detail. So CPD is partly forcing the school admin into accepting cops back in schools. (It doesn't help that there are several people in admin who have been wanting cops back in the schools and have been steering this whole process. Plus feckless SB members.)

Oh shit waddup

In a nutshell. I keep thinking about what kind of future we are handing the coming generations.

Caveat Emptor

For the past six weeks, an AI Facebook account has been pulling my history posts on Instagram and slopping out new captions, so I’ve been feeding it poison pills and its followers are having meltdowns in the comments. It’s been pretty spectacular.

Whaddya say @profanity.accountant? Personally I don't think I cuss enough

Yard work/play

y'know, if tech companies weren't so fired up to call every single thing "AI" it would be a lot easier to distinguish "ML spam filter that is well-sandboxed and tuned on your emails" from "giant context and IP-eroding foundation model that makes people paranoid and unhappy"

Today was the busiest distribution day of the year so far at Nelson County Pantry. It was quite rainy, so we got to see a spectacular double rainbow ✨🌈✨
