In a couple hours I'm going to be back at the park, giving advice to hikers and explaining trees to kids. It does mean I'm missing the community potluck, but next week I'm missing the park for a different community meeting. Why's it always everything on Saturdays? ^-^
Redwoods reach for the sky across a meadow framed with mature live oak dwarfed by their size. Human for scale; a hiker follows a path across the far side of the meadow marked with split-rail fencing.

In proportion to the amount of crime and antisocial impacts produced, how many people with degrees from an R1 university are in jail in the US? There's your answer.

* 'crime' is a word kind of dwarfed by the existential problem of climate, authored by the same group. It's group governed by price.

We need to rephrase the whole discussion in terms of hazardous products, instead of "minds". And then we need to make sure that there's liability. A model hacks someone? Put a C-suite guy in jail. A model produces sexual harassment material? Put a C-suite guy in jail.
Watch how fast things get safe

New just now in The Atlantic:

David Robinson resigned this week. He was among the longest-tenured employees at OpenAI—and oversaw safety reports on 12 frontier launches.

He is very worried: “The time for trial and error is over.”

I always point out;

I spend more time stuck behind slow cars when cycling than stuck behind cyclists when driving.

Both are dwarfed by time stuck behind drivers when driving.

Straight roads teach speed. Curves teach balance. Balance takes us further.
Photo by Maël BALLAND. A winding mountain road cuts through a barren, rocky slope, its black surface curling like a ribbon beneath a pale evening sky. Two motorcyclists ride upward, dwarfed by the vastness of the terrain. Sparse trees cling to the hill’s edge, casting long shadows in the fading light, as the road disappears into a soft horizon brushed with clouds.

Passed 10,000 signatures: Start negotiations now to Rejoin the EU
10 years after the Brexit referendum and 6 years after leaving the EU, it is clear to us that Brexit isn't working. We believe any benefits have been dwarfed by loss of influence, extra costs and the inefficiencies it has created.

#1 Val Princess freaked it AGAIN.

Alt text is available, first half on the first image, second half is on the second image.
Val is a towering, powerful man. Even while he is holding you, not only would you be dwarfed by his size, but also by his influence and authority. In a heartless universe, all would be insignificant compared to him, like dated dust by glimmering gold. His size is emblematic of himself, topped off with a massive fluff that goes from the center of his chest, to the outlines his wings, then curls around to the back of his head, reminiscent of massive collars often seen on high end fur clothing. The soft collar encircling his shoulders and above is especially fluffy, being bigger than the head of Hell's best sweet talker. The passion pigmented overlord is incredibly suave. He's often charming, sweet, and incredibly pleasant to whomever is engaging with him. Though, it is often so that he may create a contract, in order to gain pleasure, and wealth from ownership of their soul. His voice is a smooth, luscious, but somewhat boastful stride. His tongue clicking into words is pleasurable to the ears, his voice caresses, and gently cradles the heart any listener's heart. With his four arms, he would be able to gently hold you, pet you, feel you, trapping you in a cage of affection. His soft, silky, satiny skin would beckon for you, and entice your fingertips to bring your arms around him. Not having much fat at all, you'd feel everything. Your nervous system could feel his bones, his soft breathing silhouetted a relaxed body you could picture perfectly in your mind, glowing, even.when your eyes were shut. You scoot closer, nestling up to him and finding the side of your head at the base of his fur: the center of the demon's chest. He hoists you up and squeezes you firmly, but the vigor comes from admiration. Praise of something he knows is infinitely precious. Your hands would explore until you got to his fluff, squeezing and fondling it. Attentively returning his admiration, rewarding him for such a well taken care of being- not a single inch unworthy for endless praise. His heartbeat was a lullaby in your ear, playing beneath the cords of his slow breaths, occasionally broken up by little, but fond hums. His smile curling into the top of your head as he shared his warmth with you, his golden tooth unable to shine as the candle is slowly snuffed out on it's own. I just think he'd be really good at it. That's all.

They saw a pair of trees. Blue in color. Trees that dominated the landscape, dwarfed all the green trees surrounding Kheldi. The pair of blue trunks rose up, up, combining together, turning yellow...

...up to a pair of wide, adorable eyes...

Imagine being dwarfed by the sheer mass of the populace

And they love it, praise it and encourage it for all it's worth

That and my idea was to make a world where it was the total opposite of the real world

Where being skinny was seen as odd and being fat was the norm

I don’t think faulty beliefs about insurance are a load-bearing wall in leftwing politics.

The reason I asked the question is that although there are conspiracy theories on the contemporary harder left, they are dwarfed in importance and number by those on the contemporary harder right.

It's amazing that even a pair of Size 10 feet are dwarfed by your mighty feet. Two beautiful pairs of big feet. Gotta love it. 🥰🥰🥰

Normally at 12 feet, I'd think I already dwarfed so many, but I have since been infected with the thought of being.... Bigger.

How big? Who knows? Definitely to the point of an encompassing shadow.

Blowing a kiss is enough to cause a Shockwave.

And just look out above for when I take a rest.

Hoe dwingen we eigenlijk af dat overheden niet ongelimiteerd ons geld gaan blijven stoppen in de verslaving die AI heet? Het economische plaatje dat de big-tech-bazen hebben bedacht klopt niet, en iedereen weet het www.semafor.com/article/10/0...
The debate over AI safety in recent weeks has somewhat dwarfed the still very urgent discourse over AI’s macroeconomic impacts. Those stakes were made clear in a Bain & Company report this week that found that the industry’s compute demand will require $6 trillion in annual revenue by 2031 — including about $4.2 trillion from new markets and products that don’t exist yet. At the same time, buyers of AI are coming under pressure. A McKinsey report focusing on American government entities — a large and fast-growing customer for enterprise AI — warned that the per-token price of AI is collapsing, but the total bill is rising, as agents require much more compute. For many governments, until now, “usage might have been essentially near-zero cost,” McKinsey Senior Partner and Global Public Sector Leader Tim Ward told me. Very soon, “it won’t be.” The coming IPOs from Anthropic and OpenAI will surely bring more debate over whether their revenue can catch up to the labs’ lofty valuations. But “the complete disruption of the economy is all but certain,” credit rating agency Egan-Jones wrote Wednesday, in a note titled It’s Over.

Screw it, old vaca photos time! Here's the Cape Fold, answering the question of why the Karoo semi-desert exists, and where the water went. Marvelous places for a visit, within about a day's drive from Cape Town, if you're ever in the country. Wine, fish, scenic roads, and stunning vistas.
The lush green ridges of the Cape Fold, with a felled tree in the foreground, all under a clear blue sky A foggy photo of a mountain towering over the photo. In the bottom right, a road has been carved into it, but the cars are dwarfed by the mass of rock above it.

The cover of Radon Journal, Issue 13 It’s a lot of blue, on a maybe alien planet. A person stands on a rocky hill in the foreground. They are dwarfed by a rocky spire in background. The spire is framed partially by a giant yellow moon It’s the table of contents for Issue 13. Look at all those great contents

This is a problem for all children, but dwarfed by the additional challenge faced by the stupid.

How well you do at school is more a product of how intelligent you are than how hard you work - if you're at the bottom of the class you very often can't improve your life chances by working harder.

This guy! Texas Science & Natural History Museum, Austin
Photo of a life-sized Quetzalcoatlus skeleton reconstruction hanging from the ceiling in the Texas Science and Natural History Museum in Austin, Texas, USA. The skeleton is simply enormous. The walls are made of white limestone bricks. Beneath the right (viewer's left) wing is the top of a doorway with the state seal of Texas above it, dwarfed by the ptserosaur.

Bodily autonomy vs Eugenics, the series, with a massive side helping of Found Family.

Honestly, I have maybe 2 complaints about the entire series, & they're DWARFED by all the praise I have to heap on it.
