Protest sign on Route 4 in Paramus, New Jersey reads “ICE murders woman in MN”

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")

heading to SF / the bay the last week of the month. anyone wanna hang

Companies should be held legally responsible for everything a LLM they serve via API says

anyone not following @jdan.me’s linkedin is missing out. main reason to open that site

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.

It's gonna be hard for Microsoft to sink lower than 2025, but I believe in Satya Nadella

The worst part about this is that the movies are better than the books. The books are really mean spirited / spiteful, and filled with a bunch of bullshit the movies take out, which is what makes them so good.

the government should be spending one billion dollars to make a new XCOM game that runs on all systems including ipad

framework desktop still being the same price despite the ram shortage is insane, i think the 128GB config costs less in total than just buying a kit of 128GBs of DDR5-8000 RAM by itself

this leads me to my belief that it’s mostly fine for kids to underage drink/smoke but they should have to work really hard for it, they need to develop those problem solving skills. then they will have earned it

is there a better transit agency for a city on the west coast than SDOT? genuinely cant think of any

up late hawkin it. and by it. i mean, my seahawks

Mamdani been mayor for five minutes & is pulling up on slumlords, tearing up flooring himself, disgusted, and took the whole media with him. He is HIM 😭

can't believe the guy whose entire political philosophy revolves around domination would turn out to be a hawk

i know this is a joke but i literally tried this with a minecraft server i screwed up last week (it did not work)

If 2025 was the year of vibe coding, 2026 will be the year of vibe maintenance and security.

I look at these machines which produce electricity for free from the sun and the wind and think we are foolish for not immediately trying to use them for everything we can. I am excited by the learning process we're going through to store their output and want others to be excited, too. Not scared.

i have my complaints with the org but i just rejoined our local chats. you should join too

I’ve never been to a protest. I’m not a joiner. But I just joined DSA. bsky.app/profile/utop...

Cancer research costs too much but we have the money to run Venezuela

UNO REVERSE CARD: VENEZUELA IS NOT IN THE MIDDLE EAST

Donald Trump due to your recent actions and behaviours I believe you may be suffering from undiagnosed adhd and/or imposter syndrome. Please watch Bo Berman "Inside" immediately !!!!!!!!

if you are talking today about how bad maduro was and were alive, at all, during the run-up to the iraq war you are potentially the dumbest person to ever live

You voted to confirm Rubio.

Once again, one of the primary reasons we have arrived at this point (completely out-of-control & unconstitutional abuse of executive power to conduct wildly illegal foreign policy) is that no one, including the most senior people involved, went to jail for the rest of their lives for Iran-Contra.

Unpopular opinion: you don't need more willpower. You need better designed apps. frequency.leaflet.pub/3mbezkaxwhk27

Just woke up even angrier. Impeach, convict, remove. Draft articles now. Either we have a representative government or we don’t. Do not shut up about this until there’s a vote.

democrats: we support this highly illegal action, just not the fact that we weren’t in on it
