Sometimes a good shot just appears out of no where. We have a small group of White Faced Herons who live nearby and this one decided to have a look at the view from the roof of the house opposite my office window. #birds #australianbirds #photography #darktable

Right, they've approved a wind power zone off the coast of the Illawarra. They've moved it out to 20kms offshore and reduced the size of the zone but there will be frothing and ranting

So to summarise Musks response to the OpenAI/Apple deal: - Blocked all people from the Apple account - Appears to have removed the posts from Apples main account - Apparently dropped the lawsuit he launched against OpenAI JUST as a judge was going to rule on whether it should be thrown out.

Just like they said before:

Adobe overhauls terms of service to say it won’t train AI on customers’ work - https://www.theverge.com/2024/6/10/24175416/adobe-overhauls-terms-of-service-update-firefly

Adobe overhauls terms of service to say it won’t train AI on customers’ workwww.theverge.com The company is trying to win back trust after last week’s backlash.

If your product is using an AGI "Influencer" then I'm not buying it.

Years ago I wrote about how the fantasy of so many men in tech re: AI was to create a woman that doesn't talk back. It's not an original idea--it populates sci-fi, like Ex Machina. But it's also an easy point to argue because so many guys will just... say it.

Did a roll about today and took some photos. I'm going to upload a few to Pixelfed and the main site shortly, but in the mean time here's a quick peek www.youtube.com/shorts/vktTy... #photography #birds #australia #winter

Some brain genius hired Rob Schneider to do a set at a fund raiser for a hospital in Canada. It went as well as could be expected www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

A moment in the rain Took this from my garage during a down pour. I love the look of rain drops as they collect and hang from the leaves. #rain #plants #raindrops #photography You can find the original here angrybeanie.com/gallery/flor...

There are a number of finches that live around our house. I managed to catch this one out of my office window. The "filter" is actually the fly screen on my window #birds #australia Find the original here angrybeanie.com/gallery/bird...

So, awesome wife found this in the chemist and I'm really not sure what part of late stage capitalism this represents.

Sigh, in person visits to places like Services NSW can be incredibly difficult, if not impossible. Not sure that the solution is but something has to happen #disability www.abc.net.au/news/2024-05...
