You know it's _almost_ as if this is a pointless exercise

In case you needed some proof of what side these guys are on. Here's an ICE agent fist-bumping a right-wing pro-Trump content creator and letting him cross the line while they force us all back.

now it would be the time to reach out to your friends and tell them to give bluesky another chance

it’s so funny to see jd make these posts online. i’ve never seen a political candidate with more sauce on twitter than real life. everything he does is like that time he told Zelensky “did you say thank you”. every night i pray that he is their nominee in 2028

Jonathan Ross will be the RNC keynote speaker in 2026 doing cry-bully shit sobbing on stage www.startribune.com/ice-agent-wh...

i refuse to let the LLMs take the em dash from us, but we all need to completely abort any sentence that uses the "not only x, but y" construction. the damage is done.

It is sad because there are a hundred better reasons to leave X right now, but I still think that Bluesky adding code blocks could be the trigger for some dev communities to do the jump.

People act like Tim Cook is a right winger and in the sense that he is amoral and likes money sure but if this fucks with the money he will drop it in a second.

Every day, thousands of women and children are victimized by people on X using the Grok chatbot to generate scantily clad and naked photos of them. It’s time for governments to take action. Elon Musk’s X should have been banned long ago. They don’t have an excuse to delay any longer.

Woke 2.0 is gonna have teeth.

This should honestly be a legal requirement for discontinued products.

Just to be 100% clear In this house, we believe: - AI should always and only be used for the benefit of humanity - AI safety is critical, and we must do a better job protecting the vulnerable - xAI should be burned to the ground and salted over - Elon should be in prison

you don’t have to come to bluesky, god knows this place can be a shithole at times, but what the fuck is anyone with a conscience still doing on that website as their primary social media

Elon Musk's Grok is posting 84 times more sexually suggestive AI images per hour than the top five deepfake sites combined, according to a third-party analysis: bloom.bg/49K4btP 📷️: Andrey Rudakov/Bloomberg

One big difference between the human body and a codebase is test suites are not free

Abolishing ICE is the bare minimum. We need to dismantle DHS. We need restitution. And we need trials.

Rally against ICE in downtown Seattle:

im sorry i know it sucks but journalists are going to have to be willing to get fired for simply describing what they see happening with their own eyes, you look like fucking morons

i’m team em dashes for life the actual tell of most AI content is just that it doesn’t have anything to say and is boring to read people who can’t tell good writing from bad writing by content shouldn’t have any sway over how we write

imo unless you have a pixel running graphene and f-droid you should probably have an iphone

they used to "insult" reactionary NY senator al damato by calling him "pothole al" because you could call him up and get the pothole on your street fixed. this was seen as beneath the office of a US senator but can you even imagine a politician actually doing something for you now

discord is about to get so much worse

www.bloomberg.com/news/article... good run i guess

We’re entering the age of AI slop that people believe en masse. This post is 100% fake and probably AI generated. All made up. Yet massive number of upvotes, views and shares. Journalist @caseynewton.bsky.social got in touch with the “whistleblower.” The guy faked all “evidence” with AI…

rightly or wrongly i think of this dynamic usually in terms of misery. social media is just immensely attractive to people who are feeling miserable (some of that's justified, some is fleeting, and sometimes it subsumes ppl). it gives misery company, but also makes it easy to inflict it onto others

lot of things i could say here but mostly i guess i would like to implore everyone to find a personality other than "least favorite roommate during a house meeting in portland, oregon"

Like, to be clear I think these companies are by and large straight up evil. Sam Altman releasing 4o is like. Practically criminal. Musk actively removing safety guardrails as a selling point, deploying it on a platform that's already a misinformation vector to generate racism and child exploitation

tl;dr on this one the loudest AI criticisms are the ones that serve existing power structures, and yet its most serious harms are the ones that don't.

In a strange position where I think there are massive, massive social harms to the proliferation of AI (misinfo, deepfakes, predatory 'companions', surveillance, labour rights) but also feel the mainstream arguments against it range from unconvincing (water) to actively harmful (copyright; "soul")

Apple has completely lost the plot. Third party devs know far more than Apple’s in-house designers about Desktop design.

WAKE UP FELLOW AMERICANS THEY WANT TO TAKE YOUR TINY DESK CONCERTS FROM YOU

I want this site to beat twitter, and for twitter to evaporate. For that to happen, people you hate must have a more pleasant experience posting here than posting there. A minority of this site decided instead that they want it to be their little club, so that's what we have.

On my annual winter e-break I came to the conclusion that basically every facet of our lives has gotten worse because a majority of people now primarily "live" online and thus only experience the world in the abstract. The loudest voices online/in culture aren't actually living real lives anymore.
