Desktop computer appears to have gone to electronics graveyard. Posting will be scant for a bit.
Been listening to an Economist podcast about all the wonderful things good people are doing to make AI models safe. My problem with this is that I don’t see anything to prevent bad people from making unsafe AI models. And so much of the development is easy that this is not just possible, but inevitable.
I keep having urges to post commentary about the war criminals running the US government, but what would that accomplish?
“Lonely”
“The Wild Geese Fly”
Trump: ‘When oil prices go up, we make a lot of money’
Who’s this “we”, rich man?
Cameras all the way down.

“Pigs & Chickens”
Wall of a local BBQ joint.
“Highbrow”
Or at least more thoughtful than the average run of portapotty graffiti.
Hyacinths are in bloom here. Fleeting beauty.

“A Mystery”
Someone balanced a bunch of smooth pebbles on logs and stumps along the Ridgeline Trail. I saw half a dozen, which probably means there are more.
Prediction: it will turn out that the US did indeed bomb a school in Iran, and this will be blamed on an unavoidable accident in the use of AI to generate the target list.
“Waiting for the Bus”
More Eugene street art, this time at the bus stop down the street from me.
“Hiding”
Spotted today in the Eugene Masonic Cemetery. I don't know who Mr. Wilkowski was but I admire his pluck. #dailyphoto #oregon #eugeneoregon

“Seasonal”
Another 15-foot unnamed falls, not far from Goodman Creek Road. The map shows this as an unnamed seasonal creek, but it was sure flowing well this week.
“Otters”
Local bus stop decor.
I’m happy to see RSS development going on, but the built-in client in Thunderbird Mail works fine for me. Perhaps I’m just undemanding.
“Advice”
Someone has taped these up in inconspicuous spots around the local high school.
Some sidewalk art near a local bus stop.
