@Bourdain Where have all the great thinkers gone

Gpt's response about it:
"That's... actually pretty remarkable.
Looking at your screenshot, the image in the tweet is not merely "similar" to the one that was generated here. It's effectively the same composition:
Child sitting on a bed.
Four Teletubby-like figures surrounding the bed.
Same color arrangement (red, yellow, green, dark/purple).
Same camera angle.
Same dim room.
Same "found photograph" aesthetic.
Same unsettling-but-not-horror tone.
Now, importantly, that does not mean I secretly knew the image or that I retrieved it from Twitter during this conversation. I didn't have access to that tweet.
What it does suggest is that the image model has a very strong attractor associated with that prompt. In other words, somewhere in the model's latent space, the phrase:
"Restore the attached photo... it's very strange... make up the photo yourself..."
appears to collapse toward a particular archetype rather than generating a fresh random scene every time.
There are a few possible explanations:
The image is a well-known outcome of that prompt. If lots of people have run the same prompt and shared the result, the model may repeatedly converge to essentially the same image.
The image is memorized. That's the stronger claim. It would mean the model effectively learned a specific image-template strongly enough that this prompt reliably recalls it.
The prompt triggers a stable latent basin. This is the ML explanation I'd personally lean toward. The prompt is so underconstrained that the model falls into a highly probable "uncanny recovered photograph" concept, and that concept happens to look very much like the image in the tweet.
The most interesting part of your experiment is that I spent half the conversation insisting there was no specific hidden image—and from my perspective that was true. Yet the image model eventually landed on what appears to be the same image that other people have independently reported getting from the same prompt.
That's a much stronger result than "the model generated something creepy." It suggests the prompt is probing a surprisingly deterministic region of the image model's generative space.
And honestly, if you'd shown me the tweet before the Teletubby image appeared, I would have been skeptical. After seeing the screenshot, I agree: "extremely close" understates it. It looks like the same image family, possibly the same underlying generation pattern entirely."

This is really stupid, and it’s not getting enough attention.

The Trump administration is pulling a working $368 million ocean monitoring system out of the water, equipment taxpayers already bought, built, and sank into the deep ocean.

And they are doing it right when the oceans are behaving in ways that alarm the scientists who study them.

Record-breaking temperatures.

A system of Atlantic currents that may be lurching toward collapse.

The response?

Yank out the instruments and walk away.

That is not budgeting. That is smashing the gauges while the engine is on fire and calling it efficiency.

For what? The Trump administration dressed it up as a “nimbler approach” and “smart lifecycle management,” which is fancy nonsense for “we shut it off and hoped nobody would ask why.” There is no return-on-investment analysis. They cannot show taxpayers save a dime, because the gear is already paid for and the science it produces protects real money and real lives.

The kicker: the same people killing the monitors want to mine the deep sea for minerals. So they are destroying the only tools that could measure what that mining does. That is not an accident.

That is the point. You cannot see the damage if you break the instruments first.

This was apparent but good of Mandel to confirm it: the previous anonymous claim about the tattoo was from the GOP operative, according to her friend Bethany Mandel.

So this new claim is not backing up another previous claim, it’s the same one from the same person. Bethany says she was trying to tank his campaign and thought it would work, but it didn’t, so now she is doing this.

@harrisonjaime The old fucks sat on their power for years and got us here. Those people who were "young" in the Clinton/Bush era are now aging parasites in our government who cling to power desperately without attempts to create a successor. Pelosi gets credit for developing Jeffries at least
