Australia’s chief statistician has defended the Australian Bureau of Statistics’ recent public debunking of far-right claims of “mass migration”, as he said the independent agency “stands ready to respond” to “egregious misrepresentations” of its data. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... #auspol

AWS is down, post hog

The old system, where you bought the things you liked from artists you liked, has been replaced by a hose that indiscriminately gushes culture over a listless populace, while any money goes to the owners of the pipe.

"But when the team looked at the employees’ actual work output, they found that the developers had completed tasks 20% slower when using AI than when working without it. Researchers were stunned. “No one expected that outcome. We didn’t even really consider a slowdown as a possibility.” 🎁link

Israel bombed Gaza 100 times last night & has, once again, blocked essential aid. They want total death. Trump's "plan" was always going to lead to this & it's an irrevocable stain on our "leaders" that they rushed to praise it. Only a full embargo on the zionist state will end the genocide.

Did you hear they robbed the louver. The looverer. They stole the jewels from the lvoora. It was on BBC news. They drove a scooter up the voov.

I spend a year plotting a mystery novel and then this happens.

I would laugh if this wasn't so true 😭

I do NOT give the United States federal government permissions to screenshot my skeets

folks can complain about the effectiveness of scheduled orderly mass protest but to think about it another way its the closest thing we have to the opening scene of A Muppet Christmas Carol where all the muppets sing "there goes Mr. Dipshit, there goes Mr. Ass" to Scrooge and it clearly bothered him

Alt text may seem like a bother, but it's another way for people to be included. AND even for me, being abled, some of your screenshots are just ridiculously tiny and long. AND sometimes your images have no context. Alt text helps everyone.

I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.

your fucking tax dollars and mine paid for a bunch of professional government trolls to have at least(!) one actual fucking meeting about how epic it would be to all join bluesky at the same time. people wrote fucking emails about this. from dot gov addresses

This government suffers from severe loser stench. Everything they say and do is a barely veiled form of "I'm the BOSS and you have to RESPECT ME!" and nobody does. Millions of people are going outside tomorrow just to say so

This is the beauty of BlueSky. No-one will be force-fed this via algorithm. Trolling draws blocks rather than amplification.

thinking about the guy running the us govt bluesky accounts. thats his friday, trying to troll people on a relatively niche social media site because they won twitter and it made them miserable. catastrophic loser energy

A post that is deleted, rewritten, and posted again is called a "palimpsest." A post that is written in very tiny font and rolled up and placed inside a charm and worn about the neck is called a "phylactery."

There’s no number of COVID infections that will make you immune to COVID. The more times you catch it, the higher your risk of Long COVID — and other serious health problems.

ChatGPT gave a significant portion of my students the wrong answer to an easy quiz question that everyone used to always get right I had two groups of students turn in annotated bibliographies that were ChatGPT generated - not a single citation actually existed

causing a ruckus at the school board meeting because I heard in the patriot’s facebook group they’re teaching our kids arabic numbers

You know, when generative art stuff was the new talk of the town about three years ago I was like “okay, I will see what this is all about and how to fit it into a single artist pipeline”, and did a couple experiments with how it could be used to optimize tedious parts of the process-

I am still waiting for a detailed, pedagogically-backed argument for how AI improves learning. I have only been told it’s a helpful tool that will help students learn and teachers prep faster, but still waiting for what it’s supposed to do that human educators with more funding can’t do.

we asked ChatGPT "is burning down the rainforest and emptying reservoirs to create a 90 second clip of nude Marilyn Monroe riding a dragon that breaths fire onto the Hollywood sign (except the letters spell 'Woke') a wise use of our dwindling resources?" and it said "Hell Yeagh!"

It's worth reiterating that independent creators are getting debanked for the same content

"don't drink and drive." "don't text and drive." I get what's going on here. You're undermining my productivity so you can get the upper hand.
