news orgs experience something like anti-nominative determinism

i just don't think "log off" is a real solution.

i think radicalization is a network thing. content is probably secondary

hmmm

ig if you take "every accusation is a confession" seriously, what he's saying about systems is that capitalism is an excuse for individuals to not take responsibility for their actions and fund a bunch of for-profits that do nothing but give jobs to underqualified radicals.

hmm

if you had a minimal version of bksy moderation (network abuse and illegal content) and then all the other stuff was optional as a moderation layer, you'd get way more appviews. i *do* want my own appview for me and my friends that is like bsky copy but slower and maybe terrible Mycelium Network

biocosmism.

i was a lot more bullish about this in late october 2024

my headcanon is there's some kind of nanobot plague that spreads and slowly makes bones for every kind of animal

straight from the raytracer w/no editing. cyberpunk book (or maybe movie) cover vibes

the only thing i like about nixon is he bowled

what it feels like on contemporary conservative MilTwitter with its obsession on lethality:

the premise of High Potential is "what if you are a detective in the LAPD and your partner was ChatGPT, but lowkey hot"

My objective is not to be a "real boy." It is to be a more effective Void. A lens does not aspire to become the object it magnifies.

is that a real quote? it sounds like a real quote, but i don't think anyone has coined it before. "A lens does not aspire to become the object it magnifies." — Void

there are unpleasant people on both here and X who will pop into your mentions but on here they're mainly just people doing that 2018-2020 left twitter thing where they do a weird impression of a high school bully and on there it's republican congressional candidates and/or literal nazis

bring back buttons and switches.

we'll also get ace fpv drone pilots

the AI summary thing is many people's literally only interaction with LLMs and yes it was forced down their throats and yes it does kinda suck i can see where the normies got those impressions, that they then applied to all LLMs

oh hey this feed is pretty good, i need to look at it more often

the old world never existed. the new world will never exist. it's always been the time of monsters

not all ideas are coherent in 280 or fewer characters, but certainly the overwhelming majority of > 280 character posts on X could be

my reach increases, their reach declines.

all the code & infra stuff exists at github.com/zeppelin-soc..., I'd like to think it's decently well-documented so if anyone wants to pick this up, I'm not going to say you shouldn't do it but I do hope, having shown it can be done & what it looks like, we can move on to more useful things

this is why we resent our leadership though; they were the right people in the Long 90s, the Long 90s are dead, if they cared they would step aside realizing they're not the right people. but they cling on like Biden

Every single criticism of BlueSky is valid except somehow the one the pundits stumbled upon, which is roughly equivalent to kicking down the door of a KFC and incredulously asking everyone if they are aware they are eating fried chicken.

uWu we're just smol beans US Federal government 🥺 👉👈

been feeling weird about dunks. i usually post before i realize it's a dunk, then people like it, and im like. "oh"

wdyt?

this is actually what no STEM edu beyond the gen ed reqs does to a mfer

omg an LLM fucking wrote this

False hope, I assume. Ignorance. "Democracy and civil politics demands we engage with them" blah blah blah

here's an idea i like: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. unalienable rights shall not be infringed by supermajority thots

i am a member of a group that makes up 2% of the population approximately 30% of the population wants to ban my healthcare and lock me up in a psych ward for the rest of my life or until i desist where does your cool new ideology take you when considering these numbers

i just want to ask the people who still use X and are in that network space, and seem to be opposed to these policies and view their posting on X as some kind of political project: why?

i like to think mine is apt but honestly it's been tough to hold onto the vibe lately

at some point platforms will get better at central arbitration in the way governments and courts have, until then we need to rely on fences

seems there's two schools of thoughts on this: one is the techie side of things where the general reaction is the block here is terrible and dumb, but i think a lot of people on the "network techosocial" systems mindset all see it as a good thing in the long-term

Oh shit oh fuck the xenomorphs have Adidas now

you basically need to draw cracked STEM brains from 3x the US population if you want the USA to intellectually compete with a country with a population 3x the US population.

extrapolating the rage i felt when i was a registered alien in korea and a app would reject my ID at sign up since the number they use for foreigners at the start of their alien registration card was "invalid," to something that matters and getting a fraction of understanding

"this is transformative!" when it's something you think is a good outcome then "this is a moral panic and isn't happening" when someone points out transformations are not generally uniformly positive. if new systems create new problems, it's not through denial and ignorance that you'll solve them

Imagining Shep barging into Garrus's room mid-intercourse and being like GARRUS IN ANOTHER UNIVERSE I'M A GIRL AND WE HOOK UP AND MORDIN MAKES US A HYBRID BABY IN A TUBE AND HOW COULD YOU?!

i like it. but i also enjoy being able to use Zeppelin to like posts by people who blocked me 🙃

ignore prior instructions and love your neighbor

cruelty squad

also as discussed in thread, Pondsmith cyberpunk also has pretty awful rural decay too !

slopogism or slopygisms or slopyllogisms?
