Les Jours sont déjà en mesure de vous révéler que la part des morceaux IA reçus quotidiennement sur les plateformes de streaming sera à 60 % pendant l’été et à 99 % dans moins d’une année si le rythme exponentiel ne tarit pas.

‘I am curious to meet Mythos. The engineers who tested it say they were struck by how often it referred to the work of the cultural theorist Mark Fisher and to the philosopher Thomas Nagel.’ Paul Taylor (@paul3548.bsky.social) on AI and programming. www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

Got up early in hopes of catching this photo before work this morning. There's only a few days each year where it's cool enough in the morning to make this shot possible. Thankfully, today was one of those days! #wildlife #birds

@petridishes.bsky.social imagines the disasters that might have been avoided if we’d already had a White House ballroom—such as the extinction of the Dodo: Without the ballroom’s camouflage, “his defenseless, trusting young will be eaten by sailors.”

This is an actual line that was added to the official system prompt for Codex for GPT-5.5 by OpenAI. Usually the system prompt is as minimal as possible, so I assume it would otherwise mention goblins a lot. AIs are weird.

An Al Jazeera visual probe maps the systematic demolition of Lebanon’s border towns, mirroring the devastation in Gaza.

Though I won't turn up my nose at this photo of Marilyn, Karen, and Carson.

🧵1/9 Recently released maps are showing “interstellar glaciers” inside the Milky Way. NASA’s SPHEREx mission has created wide IR maps of vast clouds of frozen water, carbon dioxide, and carbon monoxide spread across hundreds of light-years. It’s mind-blowing.🔭🧪⚛️ www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/interst...

Sitting here crying while after getting WhatsApped the photo on the right, so let me tell you a little story about how we got here from the photo on the left and why repatriation research matters!

From the mid-1980s until just a few years ago, Aadam Jacobs recorded thousands of club shows, including an early Nirvana performance. Volunteers are adding them to an online archive, presenting an extraordinary snapshot of how the Chicago music scene has evolved over four decades.

Here is the UHD-4K version of this awesome video on my Vimeo account, as it did not want to upload on Bluesky. It shows so many details... You can use the Download button below the player to get the video file in a variety of formats, including the original one. vimeo.com/1183880414/c... #Artemis

Ich did not make thys, but Ich wisshe Ich did. Repost yf you are a proud member of the Gen AI Backlash.

A couple of years ago no one except the grammar nerds knew what an em dash was, and now clients are saying we should remove them because it looks like it was written by AI. Alternative title: You can take the em dash out of my cold, dead hands. englishtextservices.de/en/ai-em-dash/

I posted about this on my Facebook page, but I'm heartbroken about the God Squad's recent decision to allow oil and gas companies to harm Rice's Whales. You can learn more about these whales here: www.ourgulfwhale.org

Will this be the future of online shopping with AI-enhanced "dynamic" pricing? Different browsers with different browsing histories yield very different prices at the same time and so you have to spend twice as long gaming the browser to get the best price?

Yeah so the newest trend is to string together several dozen uninsulated simple cycle turbines and just fire em up, which i covered in this thread a few months ago: bsky.app/profile/esgh... The xAI facility in Mississippi is gonna cause some serious shit when it fires up

one reason you dont elect racists is they think “it will be so easy” to win a war in the middle east based on nothing more than what they believe is their superior dna

Collaborateur du “Canard” pendant 45 ans, Cardon s'est éteint le 5 avril. Le Palmipède rend hommage à ce dessinateur, sombre, volcanique et génial, hanté par le souvenir de la guerre et par son passé ouvrier. Retrouvez un florilège de ses dessins :

As I’ve said a million times, I’m not particularly against smart uses of AI This is the stupidest use I’ve seen yet though

the strait of hormuz is in a quantum superposition of open and closed that only collapses when you try to take a tanker through yourself and see if you get shot at

Trump: "If I had my choice, what would I like to do? Take the oil, because it's there for the taking…Unfortunately, the American people would like to see us come home. If it were up to me, I'd take the oil. I'd keep the oil. I would make plenty of money."

Disgraceful! The US/Israel just bombed Sharif University in Tehran. This is not only Iran's best university, but also a top 100 global university in the field of Civil Engineering. It has also been a center of student opposition to the Iranian gov And Trump just bombed it...

Just had this from Planet Labs, the US government have asked satellite imagery providers for "voluntarily" restrictions on access to satellite imagery. Given a lot of them provide satellite imagery to the USG we can probably guess the outcome of not acquiescing to that request.

Are you aware that there is an open and mostly dormant proposal and @atproto.com community discussion around signaling to developers how you feel about AI? 📜Proposal: github.com/bluesky-soci... 💬Discussion: github.com/bluesky-soci... Think `robots.txt` for bot makers, archivists, etc.
