You don’t want AI photos of everything you want. You want this real photo you didn’t know existed until Twitter of a cat you don’t know stealing an egg. The magic is in discovering what you didn’t know you wanted. Kill the treats machine.

This is the best example I've found yet of how derivative AI 'art' is. The person who generated the image on the left asked Midjourney to generate 'an average woman of Afghanistan'. It produced an almost carbon copy of the 1984 photo of Sharbat Gula, taken by Steve McCurry. 1/

Never distract a working Guide Dog 🦮🚫
Did you know that petting a working assistance or service dog can put the handler at risk?
I'm wearing a new lead sleeve because people don't seem to understand that I'm a pawfessional!
Please don't distract or pet Guide Dogs.
ALT Guide Dog Ava a working is curled up snoozing on a wooden floor. She is wearing her hi visibility guide dog harness. Resting on her back is her lead or leash with a large red sleeve on it. White text on red fabric reads do not pet. There is a symbol of a human hand reaching down to a dog crossed out with a red line. Ava is also wearing a red collar and bowtie with a bone pattern on.

Working regularly on writing is good. Not writing regularly and going to parties/whatever is also good. Writing while having a job and/or kids is hard. Literature is a decadent art. Do it however you want/can and don’t feel bad about it.

My paper with @DanTGilbert is out today in Nature: people believe that people are less kind than they used to be, they're probably wrong about that, and we have an idea where this illusion comes from. nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

I don’t believe in judging or mocking people for learning things for the first time, even if it’s something “everyone knows.” We all learned something for the first time at one point of another, and what a treat it is to be someone’s first exposure to a new idea or concept.

Last year, a coworker randomly asked me to hand-deliver an antique violin across the country. I said yes, because why not. I had no idea what I was getting into, and now I need your help. A 🧵

#OTD My great-great-aunt Mildred Harnack was beheaded on Hitler’s direct order. Born in Milwaukee, she graduated from the University of Wisconsin & moved to Germany to pursue a PhD. As an American grad student in Berlin, she witnessed a rapid increase in Hitler's popularity. 1/12

It was six years ago, and my mate, Pink, had just been told he was going to die. He accepted the news with a grace I can only marvel at, but he said he’d a list of things he’d still like to do.
We sat in a pub one night and read it over. Eight things? Four months? Ok. Deal.
