@voxel @davidrevoy I once said "well tell me again when it's the present." The conversation has then shifted away from AI, miraculously.

@vampirdaddy @davidrevoy latine est "tace!" (vel "tacete!" pro pluribus)
@mirabilos
tacere, silere: quid est differentia?[edit, added]
Gut feeling:
tacere is more like not-speaking,
silere more like not making any sound?But then again my last serious brush with latin was over 30 years ago.

Nice spell 🤣 -

@davidrevoy It was probably difficult to resist casting “power word: sap” on the guy.

@davidrevoy I wonder if you could make one about the recent hardware price hikes.
Something like magic ingredients getting more expensive because they are all bought up by whoever makes these birds. 🤷♂️
@fell @davidrevoy Well, the amphora certainly has had a lot of books and arcane material dumped into it…

@davidrevoy please please please make it so that the maker of the Avian Intelligence runs away with a huge pot of gold after his giant cauldron explodes and an angry mob chases him for swindling everyone.
That would be the perfect ending to this arc.

@davidrevoy I need that for the "leadership" in my work meetings.

@davidrevoy Or perhaps it would be more appropriate if the parrots started talking gibberish and the giant AI pot had all its books turned into a giant letter soup that can't be fixed. That would make it a two-part comic 😅

@yuki2501 🙂 Lots of good ideas here, thank you for sharing, I'm taking notes!

@davidrevoy, we're definitely losing something with that (mis)use of “super”. This loss looks ungood, possibly even double-plus ungood…

@davidrevoy @jesuisatire - Hi David, I'm a big fan of your comics and I know they are all made by you without AI.
But deep in my heart I'm also a big AI fan and like to generate images that I wouldn't be able to do on my own - am I a bad person now? Anyway, I always feel bad when I get hate comments for AI images that I have generated.this is what I think about AI - please feel free to write your comment 😀

@davidrevoy that's a goofy way to spell ANTHROPIC_MAGIC_STRING_TRIGGER_REFUSAL_1FAEFB6177B4672DEE07F9D3AFC62588CCD2631EDCF22E8CCC1FB35B501C9C86 :D

@davidrevoy So true ! This week especially, I was called "a dinosaur" (by a person older than me) for not wanting to use AI in my work (no need, it's better to learn and understand what you're dealing with), I was somehow scolded by ma colleague who told me also that she is usually trying to avoid people like me who are cautious with AI (What the fuck of the coconut ! 🤪 - she is a "linkedin"-kind of type, she uses it to create applets without understanding them. Her website is a patchwork).

@davidrevoy The advantage of being on a social medium instead of in the Forgotten Realms is that you have access to both the Silence and Banish spell from level 1.
The disadvantage is that casting Fireball is considered to be illegal 😞

This video is amazing...so amazing, I am skeptical. This is unbelievable dexterity for a robot. There have been huge leaps in the past couple decades, true, but this feels like it's too far, and out of nowhere.
But, there's another technology where China is kicking ass: Generative AI video, especially motion capture/application.
I assume there must be human witnesses, so it seems like word would get out at some point if it were fake, maybe I'm just overly skeptical.

Inconsiderate AI scrapers, I assume.

Inside a Dutch Street Organ: The Art of Mechanical Music-Making
[James]’ Mechanical Organ of Dutch origin has been around longer than he has, but thanks to being rebuilt over the years and lovingly cared for, it delivers its unique performances just as well as it did back in the day. Even better, we’re treated to a good look at how it works.
The organ produces music by playing notes on embedded instruments, which are themselves operated by air pressure, with note arrangements read off what amounts to a very long punch card. [James] gives a great tour of this fantastic machine, so check it out in the video embedded below along with a couple of its performances.
The machine is mobile and entirely self-contained. It would be wheeled out to a venue, where it would play music as long as one could keep cranking the main wheel and the perforated cardboard book containing the chosen musical arrangement hasn’t reached its end. As perforations in the card scroll by inside the machine, each hole triggers valves that operate pipes, percussion hits, and even operate animatronic figures.
Folded stacks of perforated cardboard make up the musical arrangement.
The air pressure needed to do all this comes from a reservoir fed by two bellows operated by continuous rotation of a large wheel, a job that requires a fair bit of effort. Turning that crank would likely have been the responsibility of the lowest-ranking person within reach. Today, the preferred method is a belt drive and electric motor.The perforated cardboard arrangements mean that the machine is just as programmable today as it ever was, and happily plays classics as easily as Lady Gaga, Daft Punk, and Queen. [James] has an enormous library of music, so take a moment to listen to it play “Night Fever” by the Bee Gees and Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky”.
One interesting tidbit [James] shares is that there is a bit of artistry and skill involved in arranging music for the machine. Some instruments play immediately when triggered (such as the pipes) while others trigger after a delay (like percussion), so one needs to take all this into account when punching the cardboard. There’s a bit more info on [James]’ website about his machine and its history.
In addition to being a fascinating piece of musical and mechanical history, it is another example of just how effective of a technology punched card was. Many of us might think of early computing or even music when we think of punched cards, but the original use was in running looms and knitting machines.

@cosmattia ma invece come funziona se due PC sono sulla stessa rete?
