can't stop watching this clip of a tesla Optimus teleoperator taking his headset off before properly logging out the robot

In the span of a single skeet, went from "people would maybe want to do eugenics" to "but imagine all the eugenics we could do!"

Real intense "Cops can't be racist because there are black cops" energy

This might be the sickest burn I’ve seen on Bluesky

It's only fascist if it's a fully consolidated totalitarian state, otherwise it's sparkling ethnonationalist autocratic militarism

Really sounds to me that your mistake in trying to explain fascism is that you don’t actually understand what it is yourself. “Hasn’t affected me personally, so it can’t be fascism” 🤡🤡🤡

Here in Georgia, we only had a vote for some little technocratic regulation board and the GOP got absolutely steamrolled in it

That libs still view Trump as an anomaly (vs “normal times”) and not the end result of a collapsing system is how you know they’re gonna fuck it up again and we’ll be stuck with President Vance in 2028

Cause Fox didn’t do enough to cook Nana’s brain, now we need to make her best friends with the lying machine.

This guy’s an economist so you know his brain is real smooth

Learning to be a good bullshitter is a valuable part of the education process and offloading the bullshit generation to a computer is just robbing yourself

I’m genuinely to the point where I don’t understand why anyone listens to this dipshit. “Our new product is absolutely burning a hole in our pocket, and I think the solution is to start splitting revenue with shareholders.” What revenue?! You just said it’s burning a hole in your pocket!

Y’all, when are we all just gonna switch to the federated social media sites?

First thing I'm doing with this thing is make a video of Mario french kissing Sonic, and then emailing it directly to Nintendo

it's so funny that all these economic pieces are like 'could it be that silicon valley has made a bad bet?' and then the bet is that a text prediction software will achieve consciousness

Bluesky is both completely insignificant but also hurt my feelings enough that I wrote and entire blog post about how mean everyone is

Real disappointed that the openly gay Kid in the Hall is a transphobe

Genuinely becoming convinced that the whole point of AI is to muddy the waters enough that no one can be certain of the truth anymore

The AI stocks are starting to tumble so we gotta really up that propaganda machine

After which door do you think this poor lady started asking herself "which of these doors is gonna lead to the woman prison this guy has clearly going to throw me in?"

rip to everyone whos become delusional after talking to chatgpt but im built different. like actually different. according to chatgpt im some kind of god. the one who decides

Not at all surprised by this. Suspected something like this might be happening when I noticed that suddenly the YouTube algorithm was pushing a lot more democrat influencers that all had the same knee jerk talking points www.wired.com/story/dark-m...

I remember when Kamala's candidacy started, it was her and Tim calling Republicans weirdos, and they had broad popular support. It really seemed like the DNC advisors said to her "No, no, don't make fun of republicans, ACT like republicans!" and then they proceeded to lose.

Very telling that the guy I keep getting told is one of the "good ones" is openly saying he prefers Trump over any taxes. He's hoarded the output of millions and has no intentions of giving that up, thankyouverymuch

No artist owes you anything ever. Period. This is just pure entitlement.

they should make Ready Player Three and its about him trying to make his kid respect Hogans Alley and Ghostbusters and his kid doesn’t and he gets old and he’s alone in a VR nursing home with all his childhood toys and Lion-O says “it’s ok. it’s time to go now” then he dies

Why don't Bluesky lists show the retweets of the members of that list? Like what's the point of not?

Gamergate basically ruined my desire to make video games ("Why do I want to make games if this is my audience?"). I don't think people realize that by acting like this, you're making it less likely to get what you want

I sometimes think about how back in the early aughts, I made some proto-social media sites, but never put much effort into them cause content moderation seemed like a pretty intensive job I didn't wanna do. Wish I had just realized that you apparently don't gotta!

My favorite kind of AI moron is the guy that - when told that some of us aren't particularly impressed with stochastic parrots - then goes "well look at what the stochastic parrot said"

I sometimes wonder if the internet is slowly driving us insane, or does it just expose us to encounter more insane people than normal?

AI optimists just sound like religious fanatics to me

How does someone’s brain become this cooked?

The “inshallah on the front page” is just 🧑‍🍳💋👌

you shouldn’t be allowed to post about movement politics unless you’ve done something with actual people in person

If we scream blue no matter who* louder this time, it’ll work. *unless it’s a Muslim “socialist” running for NYC mayor

hes never going to steal the chaos emeralds if he keeps getting distracted like this

There is no reason to think this. This is just religion for people too embarrassed to go to church.

Like, I know the point of a social media site is to get attention, but at some point, ya gotta ask yourself, unless you're a marketer, why attention from millions of strangers is important to you? I'll go to the site where I actually know cool people

In a world full of Marios, be a Luigi

I remember this too, and friends telling me that no, actually, this time the mass consolidation would pay off well.

The owner of Twitter sends out 100 right wing propaganda tweets every single day and the algorithm is set up so that every single person on Twitter has to see every single one of these tweets. Now here’s another piece about Blue Sky’s ideological diversity problem.

Honestly I think if this place was actually irrelevant we wouldn’t have to deal with the same freaking editorial every week for an entire year and a half

I keep getting told that Bluesky has failed, and it’s like: you don’t have to be here. If you don’t like it here, you could just not be here. You don’t need to complain about how Bluesky is an echo chamber, you can just go away.
