I, for one, think LLMs are just fine writing for the sports beat. It’s low stakes and mostly just about scores and numbers, yeah?
“Brandon Hunter useless at 42”

“Former NBA participant Brandon Hunter, who beforehand performed for the Boston Celtics and Orlando Magic, has handed away on the age of 42, as introduced by Ohio males’s basketball coach Jeff Boals on Tuesday.”

This afternoon I took my fika on the front porch as a Laurel & Hardy pair of surveyors bickered with each other across hundred foot distances (but mostly around my house).
In other news, I am on the lookout for wrecking balls.
@ae301a2a Yeah, I have been monitoring the Chromium PRs and waiting for them to hash out some of the things that caused them to roll it back in 2018. Looking forward to it in 118.
The party’s spelljamming ship approaches a planet with a massive force field.
After blasting it with ship weapons, assorted spells, and a summoned quetzalcoatlus, the autognome barbarian asks to be lowered to the field.
The party, wary it will kill anyone on contact, happily lowers the autognome.

When the autognome barbarian is not immediately vaporized, the tortle druid decides it is safe to levitate down and watch.
After about an hour of constant bashing from the barbarian, the druid tires and suggests the party try a different approach.
The autognome barbarian is just happy to have had the opportunity to fight a whole planet.

I had been considering using this example of an ‘AI’ image recognition tool falling down on a spotless giraffe for my coming talk:
https://www.aiweirdness.com/ai-vs-a-giraffe-with-no-spots/
But then @d31ceb58 wrote something far better than I could talk about in 30 seconds:

For my talk, I also asked Midjourney to render wheelchair users and it did them dirty (not including in my talk). So yup. AI cannot fix #accessibility nor represent disability.
This is a @78078510 Community Group. This means W3C provides the mailing list and forum, but does not endorse the group. It has no formal standing.
It is *not* a standards-track document.

• https://w3c.social/@w3cdevs/111029741997150960
Regardless, there is value in reading through the list and exploring what you can do to reduce the emissions footprints of your web projects.
I am mentioning this because IMO it is important that W3C Community Groups are clearly and explicitly identified as not formal, not endorsed, not standards track.
Otherwise, you get overlay vendors continuing to try to cash in on the good name of W3C for their Overlay Community Group (renamed to ‘Accessibility at the Edge’ because apparently they are stuck in 1992).

Just fixed the very first example because I realized the browser was adding rounded corners, meaning they did _not_ pass at 24px and the spacing exception had to kick in.
So I removed the roundedness.
Rounderness? Roundederingness? Curvey bits?
Battle Unit, the party’s autognome barbarian, who named the company Shipping Unit LLC and the turtle-shaped spelljamming ship Turtle Unit, is not fond of the baseline autognome (NPC) that someone gifted a Headband of Intellect (to make it the ship’s boson).
Battle Unit has started calling the arrogant bot “Insufferable Unit” and the NPC is not happy that name stuck — especially since it was coined by the INT 9 Battle Unit.

An ongoing Safari bug since at least 2018 (reported fixed more than once by Apple over the years), Safari TP 176 on macOS 13.4 may have *finally* allowed tables to use `display` properties without utterly breaking:
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=257458
Should be in Safari 17, but not clear if or how it will be supported in macOS 12 (should be fine for macOS 13).
A worst case scenario is users needing to update hardware to get a fix for this years-old bug.
