Just FYI there’s an account on here called @redditspaceviewes.bsky.social (with over 200k followers) that is posting a bunch of AI slop (including a “Saturn polar hexagon” with 8 sides) and claiming it’s NASA imagery. If you see anything posted by them, it’s likely fake.

This *seems* good, but I can't help the feeling that it's going to face some... complexities in practice. @bhekisisa.org have you written anything on this approach to a total ban on smoking?

Fun headline alert.

RIP QUiet Posters feed. You were a good one.

Maybe we'll keep some InfoWars content up.

Fleetwood Mac - "Sisters of the Moon" 😍 Stevie Nicks you deserve one thouswnd years joy and happiness.

This would unfortunately work on me.

on the 50th anniversary of the release of The Boys Are Back in Town I'm morally obligated to share my favorite story of all time

Tenebrous Press rules! You could take advantage of this to get 10% off @goresorcerer.bsky.social's *amazing* novella Chrom Cruach, or an anthology like Brave New Weird, or maybe a copy of The Skull & Laurel, they are all good!!

It doesn't matter that the problems are extermal, people are going to *keep* blaming the AI code when the site breaks. And why shouldn't they? If you boast about the site being created with AI but it's regularly unusable, then the AI's clearly not helping!

I like bluesky because it feels so much like tumblr 1. barely works 2. userbase is annoying (affectionate)(not that affectionate) 3. being queer on here feels like I’m actively participating in ruining some tech company’s investment

While reading this story, one thought kept going through my mind: "How soon until Spike Lee acquires the film rights, if he hasn't already?"

I'm so late to it, but this was a pretty fascinating read.

I turned 30. I've drawn a fruit themed portrait for my birthday for the past 6 years. This year is a fig. Transformation, patience, and an unexpected sweetness.

A viral image claims people in Kraaifontein protested to exclude South Africans. ❌ It never happened 🤖 The image was AI-manipulated 📰 No credible reports confirm it ⚠️ Content like this fuels xenophobia and division. africacheck.info/kraaifontein...

ChatGPT: you’re right you’re so much smarter than him. He’s so schlubby and you’re so suave. Columbo will never catch you.

Eventually bring this to Joburg, perhaps? 👀

Well I'll be...

Historians believe that the "True Poster" tapped out messages using the "Post" button much like a telegraph operator tapping out Morse code. The "quality" of individual posts mattered less than their frequency and timing.

HEY SOUTH AFRICANS Did you see we've got a draft AI policy here in SA, with 60 days of public comment? I'm thinking maybe we should do so, if you've got the energy/time I found a very useful short article on it werksmans.com/speak-now-fo... AND the OG draft gov pdf www.gov.za/sites/defaul...
