A friend once told me buns freak her out cos you don't often see their mouths or teeth, just their little beady eyes and a nose, and those two fat prehensile top lips. Like a spider or a walrus, and then of course the compulsion takes over...

I *really* like the idea of a file being tagged as containing AI generated content in some way.
I don't like the idea of just one single tag over an entire image. I *really* don't like it when it's infectious and heavily tags something that almost contained a file that went near AI generated imagery once, accidentally,

2024-06-22 00:12:08

Looks like Photoshop's tagging of imagery as AI generated is a little heavy handed. Here's a very old jpg, a Quicktake selfie from more than 20 years ago. Photoshop's File->Export->Export As... dialog shows no AI (in the Content Credentials area). However if I go to place another image in it, go "oh shit that's AI slop!" and undo the place, my ancient jpg is now tagged as including AI generated content.

The Power Macintosh G6E was terrible. It was twice the width and twice the weight of a regular all-in-one G-series Power Mac, and most collapsed under their own weight. Left to their own devices, many popped out of existence into tiny black holes that quickly evaporated.

The Macintosh Double Plus was designed to be twice as good as its predecessor - it featured double the pixels, width, floppies, and a pair of 8Mhz 68010 CPUs. Its planned successor, the Double Plus Good with a pair of 16Mhz CPUs was thrown down the memory hole.

Those rear legs in pet buns are so underestimated!
When my Jett was 11, old, and way past her peak I still saw her occasionally just *levitate* from the front of the couch, over me laying on it, to land effortlessly on the back. And so obviously not even trying.
She was a very stressed rescue when she came to me. The razor teeth bites I got on my fingers from those first days happened before I noticed them. So quick and sharp, bless her little netherland ears.

my worst bun injury was when I picked up a baby moppet, who had been purly affectionate to that point, holding her against my chest and stroking her gently.
She had the sudden urge to dig and dig fast - and with those sharper-than-cat-claws that baby buns have, decided to dig a hole through me.
In about three seconds I had more than a dozen razor cuts straight down through my top, through the skin into flesh. I had scars for *months*.
Fortunately they're never that sharp again!
