[growthables]

In an era of constant change and innovation, the concept of lifestyle is undergoing a transformation. People are increasingly seeking new ways to enhance their lives, improve their well-being, and find meaning in a rapidly evolving world. One emerging trend that encapsulates this shift is the idea of "Growthables."

Growthables refer to a diverse range of practices, products, and philosophies that promote personal growth, holistic well-being, and a more sustainable way of living. From wellness retreats to mindfulness apps, from plant-based diets to eco-friendly fashion, Growthables encompass a wide array of choices that aim to enhance both individual lives and the world around us.

One of the key aspects of Growthables is their focus on personal development and self-improvement. Unlike traditional lifestyle trends that often prioritize external appearances or material possessions, Growthables emphasize inner growth, mental health, and emotional well-being. Practices such as meditation, yoga, and journaling are becoming increasingly popular as people seek to cultivate a sense of inner peace and fulfillment in their lives.

Another important aspect of Growthables is their emphasis on sustainability and environmental consciousness. As people become more aware of the impact of their choices on the planet, they are seeking out ways to live more sustainably. This includes adopting plant-based diets, reducing waste, and supporting eco-friendly brands that prioritize environmental stewardship.

One of the most exciting aspects of Growthables is their potential to spark creativity and innovation. As people experiment with new ways of living and thinking, they are opening themselves up to new ideas and possibilities. This spirit of exploration and experimentation is driving a wave of innovation in fields ranging from technology to design, as people seek to create a better, more sustainable future.

In conclusion, Growthables represent a new paradigm in lifestyle choices. They are not just about following trends or keeping up with the latest fads, but about embracing new ideas and ways of living that promote personal growth, well-being, and sustainability. By embracing Growthables, we can not only improve our own lives but also contribute to a healthier, more sustainable world for future generations.

I think in the long run I might ended up sticking with tumblr as my new home, with mastodon on the side.

Because this place is really gonna be the last remnant of "Web 2.0" before we monetize everything to hell and back. Twitter isn't gonna get better anytime soon, in fact it's heading worse as fascist is being unbanned.

Post is run by dorks who have believe shit like this

"oh no don't discriminate against..." *checks notes* "rich people. Yea because billionares are totally a class worth protected. What a bunch of dorks.

Meanwhile Mastodon is just full of people circle-jerking about how much better Mastodon and defederated system is and it just reminds me of early 2000s Linux forum in the worst way possible!

(also spoiler alert: it isn't any better. I'll make a separate post about how defedarated systems is not resilient against the banality of evil)

Also discovering art and artist using their current system sucks ass and they have the weird culture (especially over the general instance) that 'demand' artist to put content warning over their artwork because "they didn't consent to the self-promotion of your own art" and other silly reasons.

You kinda have to join an art / content creator specific instance if you want people who can respect and appreciate artist.

So that leaves me with Tumblr, the only place where it's still weird and full of art even after Yahoo/Verizon tried to fuck this site over. (I left Tumblr after THAT shitshow)

And since Tumblr's gonna intergrate with ActivityPub soon (the thing that makes Mastodon, Mastodon), that just give me more reason to put some effort into my tumblr now.

Open Ai x Microsoft

I was hearing the latest episode of MKBHD’s podcast, And they came across the topic open ai... It was shocking that after all these months it still keeps the hype and rather wat the company does with their hype. They still manage to grow with the hype and keep growing on what they do to this humanity.

Adding Open AI services with microsoft applications are one of the best things going to happen in this year in my opinion.

Let’s dig more into this...

Large language models are quickly becoming an essential platform for people to innovate, apply AI to solve big problems, and imagine what’s possible. Today, we are excited to announce the general availability of Azure OpenAI Service as part of Microsoft’s continued commitment to democratizing AI, and ongoing partnership with OpenAI.

With Azure OpenAI Service now generally available, more businesses can apply for access to the most advanced AI models in the world—including GPT-3.5, Codex, and DALL•E 2—backed by the trusted enterprise-grade capabilities and AI-optimized infrastructure of Microsoft Azure, to create cutting-edge applications. Customers will also be able to access ChatGPT—a fine-tuned version of GPT-3.5 that has been trained and runs inference on Azure AI infrastructure—through Azure OpenAI Service soon.

According to the microsoft experties...

A responsible approach to AI

As an industry leader, we recognize that any innovation in AI must be done responsibly. This becomes even more important with powerful, new technologies like generative models. We have taken an iterative approach to large models, working closely with our partner OpenAI and our customers to carefully assess use cases, learn, and address potential risks. Additionally, we’ve implemented our own guardrails for Azure OpenAI Service that align with our Responsible AI principles. As part of our Limited Access Framework, developers are required to apply for access, describing their intended use case or application before they are given access to the service. Content filters uniquely designed to catch abusive, hateful, and offensive content constantly monitor the input provided to the service as well as the generated content. In the event of a confirmed policy violation, we may ask the developer to take immediate action to prevent further abuse.

We are confident in the quality of the AI models we are using and offering customers today, and we strongly believe they will empower businesses and people to innovate in entirely new and exciting ways.

The pace of innovation in the AI community is moving at lightning speed. We’re tremendously excited to be at the forefront of these advancements with our customers, and look forward to helping more people benefit from them in 2023 and beyond.

And that’s what i wanted to share with you all - Edwin K Jayesh

What Will Change In The Future After 100 Years?

1.Advances in Artificial intelligence

Artificial intelligence innovation is probably going to turn out to be substantially more high level and coordinated into numerous parts of our day to day routines, possibly prompting huge changes in the manner in which we live, work, and convey.“Advances in Artificial Intelligence” alludes to the headway made in the field of Computerized reasoning (computer based intelligence), which is the recreation of human knowledge in machines that are intended to think and carry on like people. Artificial intelligence has been a functioning area of innovative work for a long time, and late years have seen momentous advances in this field, especially in regions, for example, AI, normal language handling, PC vision, and mechanical technology.These advances have empowered the improvement of computer based intelligence frameworks that can play out many assignments, from messing around and perceiving objects to addressing questions and interpreting dialects. They have likewise empowered the production of man-made intelligence applications that can have a genuine effect in numerous spaces, including medication, money, and assembling, to give some examples.To put it plainly, progresses in Man-made brainpower are upsetting the manner in which we live, work, and associate with innovation, and the field is supposed to proceed to develop and advance before long, bringing numerous additional opportunities and amazing open doors for humankind.

2.Climate change

change will probably keep on being a major problem and endeavors to lessen ozone harming substance emanations and slow the pace of an Earth-wide temperature boost might prompt significant changes in the manner we produce and consume energy.It is challenging to foresee the specific changes in the environment that will happen in 100 years, yet in light of latest things and logical projections, almost certainly, the worldwide environment will keep on warming, prompting various effects on the climate, for example, rising ocean levels, more regular and serious intensity waves, expanded recurrence and seriousness of outrageous climate occasions, and moving examples of precipitation. Also, the dissolving of polar ice covers is supposed to create additional ocean level ascent and add to more sea fermentation, which can hurt marine biological systems.It is likewise conceivable that there will be a few provincial varieties in the effects of environmental change, for certain areas encountering more extreme impacts than others. Nonetheless, the general pattern is supposed to be one of expanding worldwide temperatures and far reaching influences on normal frameworks, human social orders, and the economy.It is vital to take note of that the direction of future environmental change will generally rely upon the moves that humankind initiates to decrease ozone harming substance outflows and slow the pace of warming. This incorporates changing to cleaner wellsprings of energy, further developing energy proficiency, and putting resources into innovations to catch and store carbon dioxide from the air.

3.Transportation

The way we get around may change dramatically with the widespread adoption of electric and autonomous vehicles, as well as the development of new transportation technologies like hyperloops or flying cars.It’s difficult to predict exactly how modes of transportation will change in 100 years, but based on current trends and technological advancements, it’s likely that we will see significant changes in the way we travel. Some of the possible changes include:Increased use of autonomous vehicles: Autonomous vehicles are likely to become much more widespread in the next 100 years, and may eventually replace human-driven vehicles for many types of transportation.Expansion of electric and alternative-fuel vehicles: Electric and alternative-fuel vehicles are also likely to become much more prevalent as battery technology improves and countries seek to reduce their carbon emissions.Development of new forms of transportation: We may also see the development of new forms of transportation, such as flying cars, hyperloops, and personal air vehicles. These new technologies could dramatically change the way we travel, making it faster, more convenient, and more environmentally sustainable.Increased use of public transportation: It’s possible that public transportation systems will become more advanced and widely used, potentially reducing the need for individual vehicle ownership.Of course, these predictions are just educated guesses, and it’s entirely possible that new technologies and societal changes could lead to completely different modes of transportation in the future.

there's something so deeply dystopian to me how tech companies don't understand that a forced convenience is not a convenience at all. i'm sure autocorrect is helpful for many, but a function that forcibly changes my actual written words and punctuation is taking away my language. photo filters can be nice but i need to choose using them myself or else i have lost the ability to take the picture i want. i don't want a machine to draw or write for me. taking away the option for me to do things manually feels like violence!!!! all this talk of endless opportunity, why are you RESTRICTING me

[kagedbird]

So: further bad news, gang

Laptop I bought shit a brick and would no longer boot (had several blue screens even during before and after attempting to factory reset it and multiple windows recovery errors) so no more writing for a bit.

Instead of buying a new laptop, I'm going to take my original borked desktop to Best Buy to see if Geeksquad can't fix her because god almighty if I trust another local shop and they forget her again, I will actually commit murder.

So if you would like to assist me in paying for repairs as I attempt to save every last penny I have for rent, food, and travel, you can do so here:

I don't know how much it will be but I fully anticipate having to get another new motherboard or a brand new psu since it won't boot up at all since the local shop incident— so any amount helps.

Thank you for your time and hhhhhhhhh I am so tired man

So.... why'd Peri get assigned Dev as his first godchild?

Jorgen’s usually not the one in charge of assigning godchildren. There’s an entire department that weighs and classifies potentail Godkids to the right Fairy. Although it’s on strike at the moment.

So Jorgen has to do it by hand, until the union negotiations are resolved. Turns out trying to use paperclips is very hard. Itty bitty paperclips. Big muscular biceps. Not a good combo.
