It's funny because I always feel like I'm just saying the same things. But that's how persuasion works! Repetition! Also, always remember that someone will be encountering your thoughts for the first time every day.

Okay, reading the full post, I see there is some conversation around "acceptable" uses of AI, including "AI-generated images used to illustrate an otherwise human-created post".
Hm. Yeah.
Everything I said about the need for more voices and building communities holds. If the stance on this doesn't change, there are still many other writing challenges worth joining.
📜 For nearly 2,000 years, the Herculaneum scrolls were considered unreadable—carbonized by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD into brittle lumps that crumbled when touched. Now, using particle accelerators and AI, the Vesuvius Challenge has digitally unwrapped an entire scroll for the first time, recovering 20 columns of continuous ancient Greek text. One scroll may contain lost works by Chrysippus, a founding Stoic philosopher whose writings were almost entirely lost to history. Another revealed a previously unknown 8th book of On Gods by Philodemus. With 400+ scrolls still buried in the Villa of the Papyri, this is just the beginning of recovering antiquity's lost library. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/ancient-roman-scrolls-destroyed-by-mount-vesuvius-digitally-unrolled-in-full-for-first-time/ #Archaeology #AI #History #AncientRome
@lemgandi Thanks! Yeah this is an old piece of kit. It is actually my wife's CD player from the 1990s. I am currently running it from a USB power source. Space and cash limit purchasing some more serious kit. But I shall, one day.
@makary Oh absolutely, and this definitely sours things for me. Still tempted to try to blog a bit more often, but I'll have to see how the community responds before I'll "officially" take part.
I’m submitting Wavelength 2.0 to Apple and Google today. I blogged a few screenshots earlier this week, and I think it has turned out really well. It’s also open source on GitHub.
