I browsed the prompt lists that go around this time of year (prompts for artists! for ARTISTS!) to find some prompts that are suitable for depicting my own characters. This one's "in the clouds", starring Payl, whose dad really gets so worked up about the littlest explosions

@cstross Don’t forget Erasmus as chronicled in “The Butlerian Jihad” by Brian Herbert and Kevin Anderson, first of the Legends of Dune series. Tesla Optimus is the spitting image of Erasmus.
@DismalManorGang I have never read anything by Brian Herbert and Kevin Anderson (and don't intend to start now).

Every news article about business leaders and/or social strife should mention that a cabal of billionaires and their trillionaire buddy are currently and explicitly trying to accelerate social collapse so they can be neofeudal kings in digital paradise forever.

"Green party of England and Wales facing international ostracism over ‘Zionism is racism’ vote"

@shello ah! Yes, I think I do have an AMD graphics card.
Wonder how I can change the firmware on a Framework running Pop? Guess I'll have to do some digging!
@Edent @shello As soon as I saw it I thought it was a quantisation error in the decoder, and lo and behold: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/merge_requests/43787/diffs
Hoo boy, not often that I feel the need to go rage-scream in the hayfield before 8am. It's going to be a hard day.
@sundogplanets Jake and I are hoping you have a better day 😁
@researchfairy Tiny LLMs for turning the lights on and off are fine. The 'future promise' of AI seems like a money-making scheme only, and they can't even get that right.
@david Idk what you're trying to say about "tiny llms," but it sounds like nonsense

I love this video on the New Old Newbury Newbear 77-68 by Glass TTY https://youtu.be/dBDzNDR9Bic Was surprised to see so many familiar faces make a cameo in it too!
#OtD 6 Oct 1932 during the Great Depression, banks enforced foreclosures in the Midwest. In response, militant farmers began the tactic of the "penny auction". It was so successful that authorities were forced to introduce moratoriums on foreclosures https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/10662/penny-auctions
