Some people have thoughts about it, but I like this. I am different and I accept that about myself, and I have only improved personally and professionally by accepting who I am and how I am, even if that is different. Anyway, this interview was an honour and exciting for me as a British person.

As @punkey.org just said to me: who, exactly, is running Microsoft now? What does Satya Nadella do, exactly? "Devote more time to technical work"? "Data centers"?

Playing around with Sora 2 and it is the same warmed up dogshit OpenAI always slings. I also got it to cough up direct copies of Naruto and Demon Slayer *with audio from the shows*. It’s obvious they have ingested a ton of copyrighted material

if your standard sense of humor is the sort where you routinely heckle and roast your friends I need you to understand you can't just automatically do that to strangers on the internet and expect them to be chill about it. it really just comes off like you are being mean to someone for no reason.

⚠️ Chinese researchers have invented bone glue that mimics how oysters stick to surfaces underwater. The adhesive can reportedly repair orthopedic fractures in 2-3 minutes, even in blood-rich environments, and is bioabsorbable. interestingengineering.com/science/chin...

Can't believe we are having a "fans made a better ending than the original creators" situation with Hades II

This is not un-related to the "rural people are inherently moral, kind, and pure, unlike those mean spiritually corrupt city folk" noble savage bullshit.

I cannot express how wild this quote is. This is a top tech analyst at a well-regarded firm saying that there is not enough capital to actually pay for all the stuff that NVIDIA and OpenAI has promised. It is so important that everybody realizes that *there is not enough money to do this*

"Consumers must spend $800 billion on AI within a few years, to justify investment from 2023-24" lol. LOL. LMAO. LMFAO. OMGWTFBBQ.

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

1. Trump has dug in on anti-trans provisions in the shutdown fight this morning, cancelling a meeting with Dems unless they cave on trans people. His post to Truth Social is a clear indication that Republicans are making targeting trans people a priority. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Forgot if I ever posted this teaser 😇 #art #astarion #dudrow

Pleased to report the Final Fantasy Tactics remaster is excellent. Sucks to lose all the extra content from the PSP/iOS version, but the quality-of-life improvements (fast forward! optional random encounters! no more getting softlocked at Wiegraf!) make up for that. And the voice acting is stellar

this is gaslighting, plain and simple. No, it's not the worker producing workslop, it's the fucking AI!

A lot of people are posting a really stupid and wrong diagram, so I've taken the liberty of annotating it.

присоединяюсь к нытью про обилие дискорд-серверов вместо форумов или групп, потому что да, может быть, и удобно, но теперь все нишевые сообщества сидят там!!1!

Look, small boat migrants are: - possessed of an entrepreneurial spirit - not afraid of the sea - willing to risk death rather than stay in France They certainly sound like natural Britons to me!

I dunno how you lads feel about the fact that both you and Donald Trump are Elect but I think God needs to tighten his recruiting standards.

I'm glad Kimmel is coming back. However, "free speech" where you can reverse government-coerced corporate censorship but only if your supporters make stock price influencing noise would be like a healthcare system in which you need a GoFundMe to go viral to afford treatment. ... wait.

also the good thing is that in the UK the bar for "hot" is genuinely very low when it comes to men

"Alright we're gonna make $300 billion from OpenAI, we don't have the capacity and they don't have the cash. Anyway have fun byeeeeeeee!!!!"

Also Jessie Singal is still here, so yeah.

The fact that the New York Post and WSJ can post dangerous misinformation and not even get so much as a slap on the wrist, while a rude trans person can get banned in less than a day after making a post, calls into question how seriously Bluesky really IS listening to those marginalized voices.

Art and writing are FICTIONAL. The people depicted are not real and cannot consent, but WE, real people trying to safely enjoy or share a craft with others, can consent to seeing properly flagged material like adults.

Incredibly disappointing. All this will do is make this an extremely hostile home to anyone trying to post any sort of nsfw material. Such loose, unrealistic, and frankly, impossible-to-define guidelines for what looks consensual will result in false pings for non-con constantly.

You are ACTIVELY suppressing replies critical of your new ToS updates, so I cannot trust ANY of these promises anymore. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, ca- uh, can’t get fooled again.

The problem here now is puritanism. Respect the artists. +18 art IS ART.

Listen, if you're so committed to the Open Web, then why close it off with puritan censorship TOS changes? Reminder that the buck stops where the TOS lies, so YOU're responsible for letting people know what is going on. WE HAVE TAGS, WE HAVE MODERATION TOOLS you shout, yet you end up banning NSFW.

It's not free when people get their account deleted for mocking dead fascists

If you love the open web, then don't censor legal content based on puritan ideas. Just augment the already existing moderation tools to allow people to opt-in/out of viewing that content. Censoring the content under the new TOS does nothing to make Bsky safer, but makes it significantly less open.

Until you start playing morality police on what people can post. If people don't want to see furry sex porn, then block/mute/hide and move on. But no, Bluesky won't punish harassment of Trans people, and instead chooses to ban porn. *slow clap*

And yet y'all are shadowbanning trans people that disagree with you. Fuck off

"We love the open web!" She said while greenlighting active censorship.

Your censorship of fictional adult content is a massive overreach and makes this definitively not a free and open platform. It demonizes survivors and silences artists. Everyone is telling you a much better + healthier way is to give us better tools, like more robust labels, to moderate ourselves

"distributed, public-private form of speech policing" is mean posts. he's not talking about stochastic terrorism or death threats coordinated via group chat or anything else like that, he thinks mean posts and the FCC feel like the same thing and someone should acknowledge that, for reasons

reading this Wired piece it seems like Ross is accurately conveying the sentiments of the SV ruling class: our feelings are hurt www.wired.com/story/silico...

Why the fuck you lyin’? bsky.app/profile/sque...

If you were a webcomic artist trying to make the next Berserk, Watchmen, Sin City, Skydoll, Blacksad - basically any acclaimed adult comic you can think of - there are dwindlingly few places you can independently publish that online
