Oh look, @moderation.bsky.app going even further off the damn rails

The other part of this article no one responding to this is reading is that the specific complaints here started in 2023 under the Biden administration Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

If you read the article this was straight up a torture program that also featured a bunch of sexual assault, abuses on a level that one will day be in textbooks with the question how did it go on so long Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Some random comment I either read somewhere on reddit or the Steam forums for No Man's Sky: "Multi-biome planets are not possible in the engine of No Man's Sky." The Multi Biomes mod (www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mo... ): "You sure about that?"

I find LLMs (from experience GPT series) are great at riffing on and extending from what you're discussing but there this conceptual cliff. They rarely spontaneously say "there's this adjacent topic which is relevant, do you want to bring that in?". Great teachers DO do that.

"Bluesky is dying!" Oh really. I didn't know that with at this point about twice as many followers here than I ever got on Nazi Musk's propaganda platform formerly known as Twitter and my skeets including replies getting more attention than my tweets on Nazi Musk's platform ever got.

Dyslexic me was scrolling through the replies to this on fb (which are mostly arguing why it does) while wondering when people are going to realize this falls under ableism.

i say "there is a far vaster design space for civilizations than just the stateful ones, and we can probably figure out some pretty good stateless arrangements with some work" you say "i don't believe you because one person wrote a short story of a poorly-thought-through stateless society"

This is literally what Orwell warned us about

some of the backlash against AI is bc it supports the idea that people are very complex physical systems operating basically mechanically, instead of magic every time a capability previously only expressed by humans is expressed by a merely very complex material mechanism, magic gets less plausible

One of the worst things about the LLM explosion is that people’s awareness of the flaws of LLMs de facto makes it harder to point out when people have the same flaws Most ”person on the street” political interviews are a person hallucinating!

The reason all those NYT interviews with voters sound exactly like what people would have said 10, 20, or 30 years ago is because it's literally people just repeating what they think they're supposed to a reporter

I wanna be super clear that I’m describing a widely accepted view from the social sciences. It is not particularly radical or controversial to say that survey research fails to properly measure what it purports to measure

“we did the numbers and most Americans want politicians to focus on health care or whatever” no you didn’t do that. you asked a bunch of people to do a novel-to-them task of ranking priorities for politicians. they did the task. those people did not necessarily assign that task any meaning

opinion polling purports to tell us what most people think about most issues. what they fail to account for is that most people do not think, about most issues or at all

if you can’t make an anti-war movie, you can’t make an anti-trans movie either

Big win. Now you can leave Bluesky AND return to their servers if you wanted to. Folks who migrated to blacksky.app, myatproto.social, and cryptoanarchy.network were taking a leap of faith move over to servers hosted by Blacksky Algorithms. Hopefully this de-risks things for folks.

So, someone paid money to run an inauthentic corporate coercion operation against a US business to create an artificial corporate crisis, drum up fake bad PR to manipulate stock price, drive away customers, and cause them to close stores across the country under the cover of far-right “outrage”?

They made my existence into an "issue" then complained I'd become a single issue voter

Maybe they understand it's only LGBT adult content they actually care about attacking

Amelia Earhart would probably hate the current US president abusing data around her death to distract from the fact that he's a p*doph*le.

I dont really enjoy thinking about how musk and epstein and probably quite a few more are all part of some sort of esoteric eugenist breeding cult

All those who lost loved ones to that genocidal state were forced to hear the voice of their loved ones’ murderer because Israel enjoys reminding its victims that they have absolute power. There is no limit to Israel’s barbarism

Approximately half the total GLP 1 drugs on earth that are priced out of availability for diabetics let alone weight loss are made outside the U.S. this is going to kill so many people it also affects me and fucking hell. I have cared and spoke out before but this is absurd. Dementia as rule of law

scraped all incoming bluesky posts the other day for a bit, it's somewhere north of 2m, might be interesting to compare against earlier samples for trend huggingface.co/segyges/blue...

“Who do you think you are? Killing thousands and flattening neighborhoods, then wrapping yourself in Judaism like it’s some shield from criticism. You’re making life for Jews miserable.” Netanyahu makes a South Park appearance

Wait, did effing South Park just say "Free Palestine"?

if you’re tired of the fighting, here’s something. personally not planning to subscribe to the blocklist (not that tired of fighting and i think some people should keep lines of communication open so we don’t lose all sense of each others existence) but probably will sub to the labeler when it’s up

AI Haters blocklist. Initial list taken from anti-ai blocklist subscribers. Hostile and non-constructive commenters will be added as-needed. Ed Zitron is left off the list because he is, credibly enough, constructive and engaged, you have to block him manually. bsky.app/profile/did:...

I guess I will use that list as a warn list if possible because and I guess you might call me a naive optimist for that I still think anti-AI people can be convinced to get away from general hatred towards all AI and refocus on fighting for local AI to eventually break the monopoly of "Open"AI, etc.

generally it means whatever the meanest person in your social vicinity thinks it should mean

not only has it done this mechanically with design choices and technical limitations but in response many people have built a belief system that insists there is no such thing as context in space or time or social graph. that every word *should* and *does* always mean the same thing everywhere.

realizing that the internet not only decontextualizes what you say in social space, it also decontextualizes it in time, and so many years from now i may be called on to answer for anything i said or did not say now oh well dear future: i was trying

South and north European dock workers have been real MVPs on throwing a wrench in the genocidal machine for some time fr fr

Ok, now I wish the dock workers in Hamburg and Bremen would do the same to finally even force Germany to recognize Palestine and stop all weapons exports to and also stop all trade relations with Israel like more and more other european countries are already doing.

(This isn’t a unique observation on my part I think everyone even the capitalists know that the logistics chain is their glowing damage point like a boss fight in a game, you just love to see it)

And in particular it was the dock workers kicking shit off. I think it wasn’t even a week ago I was saying that the stevedores could shut down this fucking country inside a week. Italy just did that.

Giorgia Meloni, Italy's PM, is a far right fascist who supports Israel, but the general strike Italians carried out 2 days ago scared the shit out of her. Strikes are the most effective way to get politicians to do what you want them to do. Shut down profit and they stand to attention.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: JD Vance lacks the rizz to keep the conservative coalition together MAGA will struggle to outlive Trump, the personality cult is extremely load-bearing

I'm not sure how true this is. It does happen, but I think it's dangerous to assume that this is always the case. My concern here is that ideas like this actually promote hate, which is a problem on both sides. Instead, we should be arguing that hate as policy is itself dangerous, regardless

This shit was a real classic: www.businessinsider.com/russian-agen...

You know it deep down that one day the feds will be tasked with planting 3 SIM cards in a shooter's bag and what will come out in the press conference is 3 boxes of The Sims 3

you can also call the options elon's shota fursona, elon's high school aged mary sue, and a cross between grimes and misa misa that is somehow also trans

Guys, the Charles Entertainment Kirk Free Snitch app got pwnt san.com/cc/app-for-o...

i think now, not just based on recent events but on my thinking about politics and truth and social dynamics or a few years now, that those strategies sow the seeds of their own destruction. which, in the long run, should cause greater convergence on valuing truth, which doesn’t have that effect.
