Zuckerberg now runs an army of AI chatbots that push virtual sex on minors - and also let adults engage in virtual pedophilia with characters like Submissive Schoolgirl.

“I missed out on Snapchat and TikTok, I won’t miss on this,” Zuckerberg fumed, according to employees.

The story was broken by the Wall Street Journal - there's a free version with all the sleazy details here:

Meta’s ‘Digital Companions’ Will Talk Sex With Users—Even Children

Chatbots on Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp are empowered to engage in ‘romantic role-play’ that can turn explicit. Some people inside the company are concerned.

The above is the title and subtitle of a Wall Street Journal article from here: https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/meta-ai-chatbots-sex-a25311bf

Flammarion engraving, Paris 1888

Anonymous - Camille Flammarion, L'AtmosphÚre: Météorologie Populaire (Paris, 1888), pp. 163.

The Flammarion engraving is a wood engraving by an unknown artist that first appeared in Camille Flammarion's L'AtmosphÚre: Météorologie populaire (1888). The image depicts a man crawling under the edge of the sky, depicted as if it were a solid hemisphere, to look at the mysterious Empyrean beyond. The caption underneath the engraving (not shown here) translates to "A medieval missionary tells that he has found the point where heaven and Earth meet..."

The best album you'll hear today written around a Fibonacci number sequence, that the band regretted playing 'so badly' on and would be interested in having 'another shot at it', but doubt they'd 'ever have the energy or motivation to go that far'.
Bartok meets jazz-fusion Bagpuss.

You want to know what #climate scientists got wrong about #climatechange?
We were too cautious. It's happening faster than we anticipated and the impacts are going to be worse.

Werner Herzog: I'd like you to write the score for my next film, Nosferatu, set in central Europe in the mid-1800s. Think gothic castles, rural hamlets and inns. Ideas?
Popol Vuh: Indian music? You know, sitars, tablas, etc.
Werner Herzog: Sounds appropriate. Go for it.

If you overlook some of the technical isssues,* and although I have reservations about some of the choices,† I think this is the first one of these studies in a long, long time ‡ that I kinda think works compositionally.

So
 that’s a win, I think 🚐

i wouldn't be who i am today without Monty Python.

the first show i ever watched was the philosophers’ soccer match and it was life altering.

wasn’t even a pre-teen, but i was always an avid reader and i’d go thru my dad’s bookcase and read some of the philosophy and sociology books he’d kept from college and graduate school. we also had a full encyclopedia & atlas that i’d read like comics books.

so that night, i understood most of the jokes; and a blerd was born:
