Does anyone else see a problem with Meta's AI classifying sensitive documents? Something like, the AI would need to scan the document?

@farah @quaap there's a 1902 recording on #wikipedia of the #civilwar marching song. Some of the recordings of the #music from the early post #war years are eerily wonderful.

There's a really odd one of a hall full of Confederate veterans doing the Rebel Yell, and I can tell you, it doesn't make a good wake up alarm at all.

So, had an incredibly stupid idea: installing the Mellanox SX6012 into the minirack. Fortunately while it is the proper width, it's long enough to make it an even dumber idea. Still, I'll miss the switch... #homelab #minirack #badideas

It looks like some C-level exec at Soundcloud decided, "Hey, we're making too much money, and our users actually trust us or something. We've got to remedy that situation! Seriously, I want to turn this place into a ghost town, where all our content's been moved elsewhere by its creators."

Seriously, why else would they do this? 🤡

Please boost so creators know to move platforms.

Bad #DM ideas: magic items with slight misspellings relevant to their function.

Ring of acommodation: Makes a commode (not necessarily functional) appear within 10 feet

Staff of lightening: Makes the surrounding space slightly brighter or reduces the weight of any one object by 2%

Scroll of Adress Discovery: Will guide the party to the nearest seamstress' workshop or women's clothing store

Spell - Make Object Changable: Turns an object into Señor Chang for 5 minutes

Curse of Loosing: Makes clothing saggy, knots come undone

Spell - Inflict Principle Damage: The target realizes at least one of their moral convictions is based on faulty assumptions

Spell - Kill Principle Fighter: The fighter most driven by a moral concept dies

Scroll of Advancing in Que: Instead of moving forward in a line of people, the caster begins to say "¿qué?" with increasing conviction and vocal skill

Spell - Holier Then Thou: Caster first becomes 10% more Celestial, then becomes a doppelgänger of the person they tried to cast this on

Pretty sure "worry" in the time and context of the original song meant "cheat on one's romantic partner," so Worried Man Blues is about a man who has everything except the exclusive love of his gf/wife.

Logically, then, the woman should sing her "This little light" parts as if sharing her "light" meant sharing her affections and body with other men, gleefully and cheerfully. Lots of flirting. Salaciousness. Spice.

Worried man, merry woman.

New Scientist has used freedom of information laws to obtain the ChatGPT records of Peter Kyle, the UK's technology secretary, in what is believed to be a world-first use of such legislation

These records show that Kyle asked ChatGPT to explain why the UK’s small and medium business (SMB) community has been so slow to adopt AI. ChatGPT returned a 10-point list of problems hindering adoption, including sections on “Limited Awareness and Understanding”, “Regulatory and Ethical Concerns” and “Lack of Government or Institutional Support”.

The dove ice cream bar company should do a crossover with the dove bar soap and do a white chocolate ice cream bar shaped like the bar soap.
