Well, at least no one can say that the #OrangeTurd doesn't give a #sh!t about the #NoKings #protest

#NOKINGS New York City, NY

Interesting to see the work that @teorth.bsky.social has recently done using GPT 5 to assist with a #MathOverflow problem, since I've been exploring how #LLMs can potentially assist with open #math problems (despite a great deal of skepticism) in the past few months. mathstodon.xyz/@tao/1153299...

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

I do not think the word currency means what you think it means...

Just an #FYI for any friends here who may still be on #FB- I'm going to do my best never to log back in there, but will leave it up to direct people here. Main reasons: algorithmic time waster, AI DM advertising, switched me to professional setting so I could see how few views some of my posts get.

When President Newsom declares MAGA a terrorist group (they sure acted like it on Jan 6), are you ready to go to prison for saying “I’m MAGA” the same way you want me jailed for saying “I’m anti-fascist”? Wrong again, Mike Lee. Your whole ideology will rot with fascism.

@sdcushing.bsky.social - I really admire how you've made this your new home and not looked back. It's a wasteland of reels over there. I haven't managed to kick the habit yet, due to #AI related posts and groups. Props to you, though!

This might be my best shot at the #technical issue of addressing #AISafety and #alignment before #superintelligence, so I feel called to share it: poe.com/s/L9V020Cy2V... For those who just want the result, and aren't interested in how it was arrived at, here you go: github.com/Middletownbo...

I know Bluesky isn't the optimal platform for posting about #AI, but I think #AIsafety is too important not to post about here on occasion. This is my current @poe.com #app for testing AI safety and alignment. Remixable by others, and I will add more to it soon. Stay tuned. poe.com/SelfImproved...

‪ @rhi.bsky.social @terryandrob.bsky.social - I'm getting suggestions in a #Pratchett quote discuusion group on #FB that there's no way that Sir Terry Pratchett would have meant any innuendo with the name Greasy Johnson in #GO, because his sense of humour wasn't that crude in #Discworld. Thoughts?

So, I saw that Bibi nominated the #OrangeTurd for a #NobelPeacePrize. Am I alone in sensing that our #simulation may now be being run by bored #4chan refugees?

I love Bluesky for what it is, but sometimes one needs a bit longer form. To this end, I now have a #substack. For the forseeable future it is likely to be #AI #safety and #GameTheory focused. If those topics are of interest, it is @ middletownbooks.substack.com

Given the #AI and #LLM arms race, it was only a matter of time before we reached the self imoroving AI stage. It'd be nice to think that someone experienced, cautious, and knowledgeable was in charge of alignment and safety for any such projects. Yeah, right! claude.ai/chat/d50c6c3...

Good old, Bluesky block lists did me the favor of blocking bsky.app/profile/jd-v... before I had the chance to. www.yahoo.com/news/maga-me... #ShadyPants

I hope to gawd no one is this desperate to get 1k of crypto, but if you've got hungry mouths to feed and do this gig, please don't feel bad about doing what you have to do. Personally, showing some skin on onlyfans sounds better than Smelania crypto to be a fake crowd on Saturday archive.is/puHrc

I saw an article that basically said that #Bluesky usage is down and Mark Cuban thinks it's because BS is an echo chamber. Compared to other sjtes of its size, I disagree. Just because only the trolls here think that fascism should be tolerated doesn't mean the rest of us are clones.

Got plans for upside down Flag Day this year which don't involve a military parade for the #OrangeTurd?

Don't mind me, just doing a bit of #gleescrolling through all the Trump-Musk meltdown posts here...

Hey regulars... how's the Bluesky experience these days vs. 3 months ago? I here there's been a tail off in terms of active users. How's engagement? I've had to limit my time here due to other projects and real life, but still want to see the platform thrive. How's it been?

I know Bluesky in general isn't big on #AI. But, there's also a #scientific and #research community here, so I'll just mention here that I made an app which uses AI to generate research ideas, with priority given to those which are algorithmically checkable.

How will you mark the Glorious 25th of May this year? I special ordered the #Penguin edition of #Night-Watch from a local #bookstore wiki.lspace.org/Glorious_Rev... #Discworld "...and a hard boiled egg" #EggQOTD #PratchettQOTD

A bit over a year ago, I had an idea for a #sudoku like logic game. Six months ago, #AI couldn't make a working #game #app of it for me, but thanks to @poe.com and @anthropic.com #Cloku is now playable online (a limited selection of hand picked #puzzles for now) - poe.com/ClockSudokuX...

Happy #TerryPratchettDay to all my #Discworld #PratchettQOTD followers. A QOTD below from #Witches-Abroad

An #article about the website publicsquare dot com, where you can find #MAGA values oriented local businesses to #boycott. I see quite a few realtors and a few other businesses in my area I won't be consulting. www.yahoo.com/news/website...

Another round of voter's remorse from the #PresidentMusk and #OrangTurd voters. Turns out it's important to know what you're voting for, but it's not like these people lived through 2016-2020, so how would they know? www.yahoo.com/news/donald-...

@bkstore-chronicles.bsky.social has a couple of #independent U.S. #bookstore starter packs, for anyone looking to support some local indie booksellers this weekend: bsky.app/profile/did:...

So, B&N is having a preorder sale at the same time as Amazon is having a sale, and both are targeting Independent Bookstore Day, which is one of the biggest in-store shopping days of the year. It feels shitty as an indie bookstore to be targeted by billionaire and venture-backed corporations

#FuckBezos and support your #local #independent #bookstore (whether or not they are on the indiebound list or not) on Independent Bookstore Day (tomorrow) and every day. #books #booksky #booksellers

A custom #AI chatbot I just made, which I wish that I'd thought to make months ago - for #federal workers transitioning to #corporate workers, a #resume assistant: poe.com/FedToCorpora... Sample conversation: poe.com/s/eYRMZLmLA8...

An #EarthDay #Discworld #PratchettQOTD from the #YA #TiffanyAching #novel #WinterSmith under a #bluesky

32 years ago today (b4 #classicrock stations played Nirvana or 80s pop), I won $1000 from a local station. I'd have posted about it then, but I didn't have a blog, much less social media. Back in the days when I read more books, that was, though computer games were still a time suck.

On my #youtube today, I found a new #LedZeppelin #GreatestHits video. No quibbles with the 10 songs on it, despite disliking one, but... the video ended with 5 instrumental songs not on the setlist which LZ would have choked on vomit before releasing. "Tell me you're not a fan without telling me..."

I've been busy with life & @poe.com #app creation & refinement lately, but haven't forgotten you all. My latest refinement is improving the quality of research ideas which my poe.com/ResearchWork... app produces. A sample idea from its prompting is @ the bottom of this thread poe.com/s/hQQwJ4n4HY...

I haven't made many #AI generated #videos, but I was testing out some text and text + image.to video generators this morning and managed to create this #Rembrandt style #MagicalRealism #video with poe.com/RembrandtPika which I thought was pretty cool. Prompt which created it: poe.com/s/rrIoXnNUdC...

Continuing with the yo-yo demo analogy - try a simple trick which doesn't work, get schooled by the (financial) experts, and claim you've just invented a brilliant new move while attempting to intangle yourself from the yo-yo string... finance.yahoo.com/news/nobody-...
