i hate when other people are funnier than me.

As much as I love cows the idea online that they’re these like, gentle calm peaceful animals is EXTREMELY dangerous.

I have had great experiences with cows. One of my favorite animals in the world is a cow and I love her to death and I give her kisses on her little baby nose and chin scritches. But that’s because my girl is a bottle fed, hand raised dairy cow. She’s been around people her entire life and has been handled since birth. NOT ALL COWS ARE LIKE THIS

The other four cows at my job will gore you for Looking at them funny. They are extremely dangerous and insanely powerful animals. Even the most well trained, gentle, peaceful cow in the world can fuck you up five ways till Sunday if you are in the wrong place at the wrong time. Do not attempt to approach any cow without asking its owner first. This has been a Tiger PSA.

Long time no see! I didn’t forget about this account, I was just experiencing major burn out and still unfortunately am

This is a commission for my friend @griffinblade over on Twitter and also a collab with @muneaj​ cause they drew the background I was struggling with ^^; It took me nearly a year to finish this due to my burn out but it’s finally here, thank you again Mune for helping me out, without you this wouldn’t be done at all ilysm bestie mwah It’s not winter time yet but I’m impatient to post it here, I’ll probably reblog it once the winter arrives Note that I am signing it as kyuubicore cause that’s my main username

I know this site is so painfully western and I know caring about every issue in the world is very fatigue inducing, I just wish that argument wasn't always used when non-western countries ask for help and recognition where western issues are always so prominent they spike worldwide memes which take up everyone's attention.

Before it gets out of hand once again like it did back when we were protesting against Vučić for lying about the COVID epidemic (he called it the dumbest most harmless virus ever and immediately after he got elected inflicted a lockdown and blamed the people for being careless which in turn spiked protests to take him down for lying), right about now there are massive protests against him and his criminal regime regarding the Canopy that fell in Novi Sad that ultimately killed 15 people (there are most likely more). I'm writing this to tell everyone before it's too late. When we were protesting to take him down during the epidemic we did so because his lies killed people, but the narrative he spread to the rest of the world is that we were protesting against the lockdown itself, which has never been true, it was against him manipulating and literally gasighting the entirety of this country. Right now we're protesting once again because his lies killed people, this time even more directly. The reconstructed Canopy was one of his many money laundering projects, reconstructing something with cheaper equipment so that all the money goes into his pockets, and when something disastrous happens they blame it on outdated construction and, their favorite argument, the "Opposition" (my grandparents specifically love this one, they buy all of it). In this instance they said the Canopy fell due to age, but they reconstructed it not long ago. After this happened they went on to erase any and all evidence of the Canopy being renovated, but people aren't stupid, they use the rail station regularly, they would see and know it was renovated.

Enough is enough and faculty students all across the country are getting on the streets to protest the incident and many more of his money laundering projects in the works, theater actors are heavily joining in, farmers are backing them up and also protesting against the Rio Tinto Lithium Mine project that's being pushed by Western Countries. Now mind you he's from the same regime from the 1990's when Slobodan Milošević was president who's leadership spiked the biggest protests of this country. Because he's a lying dictator he has complete control over how this narrative is shared not just within Serbia but to the rest of the world. Before Western Media twists the narrative again to also push the Rio Tinto Lithium mine further, I want everyone that reads this to remember this: The students protesting aren't paid to do this from the Opposition like they are being accused, the President doesn't "care more about the victims than angry protestors" like he claims, he is a heavy HEAVY criminal like his whole regime and all of this is so scary to be happening once again.

The Novi Sad Canopy incident was the straw that broke the camels back, enough is enough. Please support us the best you can by not buying into propaganda, we're protesting against his criminal regime and nothing else, just like how we did back in 1990's with Slobodan (the US happily took this opportunity to bomb us so all of this happening again with the same regime is so scary). Please don't ignore this, if something ever happens to us again due to Western Powers meddling I want everyone to know the root cause.

The West avoids us like a plague, that is, until they have something to blame on us for their personal interest.

my bebe...thank u spouse for maken her perfect @muneaj

🌈 I can’t believe I’m even writing this but I have to tell you now that we’ve lost Thurston. It hurts his mom and I to know how much reading this is going to hurt so many of you. Your bond with him was real. Your bond with us is real. It’s always been palpable through the kind words you gave us and the jokes we made with our favorite little guy. I know this is going to feel sudden for you because it’s sudden for us as well. I just want to warn you upfront that I’m about to discuss what happened. I know it can be hard to read these kinds of details so I wanted you to be aware.

After 15 years we made a huge positive life change. During the one month since we got here Thurston was loving the new house. Only days before we lost him he was sprinting around the house like a kitten, which is why what happened next was so shocking and difficult to process.

We have been fighting what seems like a sinus infection for several weeks with him. The vets (we had two separate opinions) reasonably thought it had to be either a sinus infection or something related to his teeth. So after treating him with antibiotics and not having the problem go away, the vet suggested we do a dental since

They thought it most likely he had an abscessed tooth. they call us later that day to say that his teeth were all fine but they had found a mass. They asked if we wanted to do a CAT scan, to which we of course said yes, after which it was viewed by a radiologist who confirmed that it was nasal cancer.

Upon waking up, his sinus infection went into overdrive, did not respond to antibiotics, and two days later he was gone. I hope it comforts you to know that we did everything we could to make him feel happy and safe, and that his passing was a gentle one. He spent his last days in front of his favorite lamp with his mom and I making everything feel as normal as possible.

That said, his mom and I are completely devastated. They say dogs are man’s best friend, but mine was a cat. A shrimpy, sweet, lovable, goofy white cat. I’m not sure what to do with his social media from here. I’ve been going through his videos and so many of them still make me laugh. Maybe after we’ve had time to heal, Thurston can make you laugh again too. 🍤

All the love, Matt and Shelli

-I’m probably going to be off-line and not replying to comments, but I will read them and I thank you for all your kind words ❤️

OpenAI whistleblower found dead in San Francisco apartment

A former OpenAI researcher who raised concerns about the company is dead at 26.

"Balaji’s death comes three months after he publicly accused OpenAI of violating U.S. copyright law while developing ChatGPT, a generative artificial intelligence program that has become a moneymaking sensation used by hundreds of millions of people across the world.

Its public release in late 2022 spurred a torrent of lawsuits against OpenAI from authors, computer programmers and journalists, who say the company illegally stole their copyrighted material to train its program and elevate its value past $150 billion.

The Mercury News and seven sister news outlets are among several newspapers, including the New York Times, to sue OpenAI in the past year.

In an interview with the New York Times published Oct. 23, Balaji argued OpenAI was harming businesses and entrepreneurs whose data were used to train ChatGPT.

“If you believe what I believe, you have to just leave the company,” he told the outlet, adding that “this is not a sustainable model for the internet ecosystem as a whole.”

Balaji grew up in Cupertino before attending UC Berkeley to study computer science. It was then he became a believer in the potential benefits that artificial intelligence could offer society, including its ability to cure diseases and stop aging, the Times reported. “I thought we could invent some kind of scientist that could help solve them,” he told the newspaper.

But his outlook began to sour in 2022, two years after joining OpenAI as a researcher. He grew particularly concerned about his assignment of gathering data from the internet for the company’s GPT-4 program, which analyzed text from nearly the entire internet to train its artificial intelligence program, the news outlet reported.

The practice, he told the Times, ran afoul of the country’s “fair use” laws governing how people can use previously published work. In late October, he posted an analysis on his personal website arguing that point.

No known factors “seem to weigh in favor of ChatGPT being a fair use of its training data,” Balaji wrote. “That being said, none of the arguments here are fundamentally specific to ChatGPT either, and similar arguments could be made for many generative AI products in a wide variety of domains.”

Reached by this news agency, Balaji’s mother requested privacy while grieving the death of her son.

In a Nov. 18 letter filed in federal court, attorneys for The New York Times named Balaji as someone who had “unique and relevant documents” that would support their case against OpenAI. He was among at least 12 people — many of them past or present OpenAI employees — the newspaper had named in court filings as having material helpful to their case, ahead of depositions."
