Even modest hardware can run a decent LLM. Maybe someone will open source a project to let people make their own avatars explicitly to poison the social media sites.

This was my whole month of December.

Well, at least your username fits.

They’re culturing the mouse’s own cells, so no risk of rejection.

This is an interesting question. Just about every announcement I’ve seen so far has been for a read-only interface (for example, a paralyzed person envisioning moving his hand to make a robot arm move), but this Biohybrid one specifically mentions that they applied a signal (light) to the sensor to see if the mice would respond biologically.

I probably haven’t seen The Neverending Story in 25 years, but I still think about Artax from time to time. Fuckin’ Swamp of Sadness…

Don’t know about favorite, but as far as “most frequent” goes, like a filthy heathen I sometimes just buy a bag of Nestle semisweet chocolate chips and eat them out of the bag.

This is an east coast vs west coast thing more than timezone pacific, but the ocean on the east coast is way warmer thanks to the Gulf Stream. I’ve been surfing in SoCal in the middle of summer and the water was freezing vs surfing in NY in May and it was tolerable (still cold tho).

I am definitely sliding down from the peak toward a trough. In which direction I can’t say tho.

There are at least one or two Lemmy users who add a CC or non-AI license footer to their posts. Not that it’s do anything, but it might be fun to try and get the LLM to admit it’s illegally using your content.

A must-sing-along fav: Christmas Wrapping - The Waitresses

Never again: that one about the boy buying shoes for his dying mother (not even gonna link)

Miyamoto’s favorite Mario game is SMB2, so…

Toothbrush. In one hand it scrubs food and gunk away and helps distribute fluoride toothpaste around. On the other it’s made of tiny plastic bristles that are probably disintegrating when in your mouth and growing a fun ecosystem when out of it.
