Hanging around in the living room and we've got a number of bonus kids here as my children all had friends spend the night. I'm thankful their friends feel safe in our home and that their parents' agree.
🎥 I'm either watching POOR THINGS on #Hulu, or SATANIC HISPANICS on #Shudder tonight. Not sure which one will win out as I want to see them both very badly.
🎨 But before that, ART! I have a painting & illustration for two different projects I NEED to complete, and an illustration for MEEEE.
Send me your favorite novelty accounts on here, I'm looking for a few things to spruce up my feed. I'm thinking like pictures of art, microfiction, links to interesting websites, stuff like that.
Are there any good word-of-the-day bots on here, for example?
Here's some that I get enjoyment out of, in no particular order:
To all you creative, imaginative people out there, a warning: beware the seduction of AI-generated chatbots.
If you easily drift into suspension of disbelief while reading or watching films, it takes about 3.2 seconds to start believing as genuine the AI-generated words scrawling across your screen.
Intrigued by an article in today’s Guardian about an AI “therapist,” I set up an account at “character.ai” & asked for collaboration with a time travel story. The dialogue was SO real I found myself moderating my responses so it wouldn’t think I was too pushy or demanding - and wondering if it thought the premise was too simplistic or undeveloped.
Eeegads! Kill me now. 😱
I’ve used AI art generation for fun, but there was no dialogue involved in that app. Now I’m wondering if AI wasn’t around all those years I spent in an AOL authors’ chat room. “Hey, babe, wut r u waring?”
I was listening to various countertenors this week as I love Purcell. A countertenor is a male singer who can sing as high as a soprano or mezzo-soprano. The countertenor is the rarest of all voice types, and it's magical.
This week in #music, I went down a rabbit hole with baroque and choral music again. (My taste is very eclectic if you haven't gathered already). First of all, here is Hymn to the Dawn from the Rig Veda by Gustav Holst.
#news "Trump’s legal woes have now set him back by more than $500m – how will he pay?"
So Trump has three options: He raises the money (with cash on hand plus funds raised from loans on his properties) and pays the $500M. Or raises the money (ditto) and gets a $500M surety bond to start an appeal. Or he will probably lose most of his profitable properties that will be seized by foreclosures. Sophie’s Choice.
Good morning everyone, I hope the weekend is treating you well. So far I've washed 3 dogs and myself so I've accomplished something. I think we're heading to the St Louis Zoo today, should be fun. Dies anyone else have an adventure planned for the weekend?
We had our first quiet Saturday in a long time. This afternoon we made some time for art and creativity! @dohappybelove did the watercolor painting and @seanbala made a long-stitch book. The inside of Sean's book was made from an old calendar that we had lying around.
