Ok folks, I have it. I have the answer. For those of us who don't like the term "The AI" or "An AI", I propose: Automated Software System (ASS) e.g. "My ASS created this art" If you find that gives ASSes to much autonomy (fair criticism) "I used my ASS to create this art" 🫡
Anytime anyone refers to their software as "The AI" or "An AI". (Rant: medium.com/@memoakten/artifi… )

Over-reliance on English hinders cognitive science: it has led to premature claims of universality (due to over-sampling of English speakers) and limited the cognitive constructs being examined (due to the use of English as a meta-language). doi.org/10.1016/j.tics.2022.…

There's a lot of weird debate about whether Rust in the kernel is useful or not... in my experience, it's way more useful than I could've ever imagined! I went from 1st render to a stable desktop that can run run games, browsers, etc. in about two days of work on my driver (!!!)

I'm starting a new thread, because this has grown out of control and has some incorrect (vastly underestimated) figures. I've been analyzing #CryptoArt #NFTs on @superrare and @niftygateway I'm afraid the figures are even worse than I thought. nitter.gq/memotv/status/13086839…
Friends, something has been bugging me for a while. The world is burning. We have unsustainable habits that need to change. And changing old habits is hard, really hard. But has to be done. And yet, it seems we are also adapting *new* unsustainable habits ... 1/2

So mesi che quando dico che devo lavorare mi rispondono “ellamadonna, ormai i libri li hai consegnati, che cazzo devi fa ancora” e io mi mozzico la lingua perché se lo dico mi deportano a Guantanamo. Oggi è il giorno in cui finalmente posso rispondere: sto a fa questo.
