So much respect for this edit. I'll take this level of ✨special effects work✨ over AI slop any day.

Okay bluesky I need your help I live in Massachusetts. You might think we're a bastion of lefty intellectualism but our state government a clusterfuck of post-puritan real estate bros Reskeet this. Text it to your "friends from home" Help this find every masshole poster who will know what to do

A woman sued OpenAI last week alleging that ChatGPT reinforced the obsessive, violent delusions of her stalker (her ex-boyfriend.) This woman's claims (as detailed by TechCrunch, left) are chillingly similar to those of a completely different woman whose story Futurism reported on in Feb (right):

Cars are violent. "Not all drivers" is no excuse for the way we socially excuse so much behavior while also prioritizing car dependent infrastructure. Deaths due to cars are on the order of a million each year. It's tragic but we treat it like some distant reality that has nothing to do with us.

Wout winning and Orbán losing. It's a good day!

US bombers are fueling up at RAF airbases right now. US bombers convalescing in German hospitals. The whole western world seems pretty united in executing this particular abomination.

I don't have my longer term address yet but as soon as I do I am ordering this. Disordered Cosmos was excellent for those who haven't read it yet.

While @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social is so far from perfect (where's standing up for all those trans kids?!) this is so sensible and based. If enforcing the laws for cars is anti-car, let's be as anti-car as possible.

This deflection to make everything about republicans is just learned helplessness. Go find a way to end the recess and impeach this madman. Move on it like you have any soul left preserve.

File articles of impeachment. Again. It's okay if you don't have the votes. This is about having a soul.

I supported you during your campaign but sit right down. Don't stand back up until you are actually standing up for all those trans NYers you made promises to. *At the very least acknowledge the situation in the healthcare system.*

The US is such a broken government that I wonder what I'd even do to fix it. Probably rewrite the constitution and have it ratified at least once a decade because if that document can't be upheld as law then the country doesn't deserve to exist. This is not a matter of just undoing one election.

They'll say it's free speech when it's conversion therapy but probably decide to uphold state laws that ban affirmative therapy because gender affirming care doesn't count as free speech.

conversion therapy being made legal with the assent of democratic justices on trans day of visibility is pretty funny though. like wow glad this whole visibility thing worked! glad we're living in a new progressive liberal minded age!!

@drkalyncoghill.blacksky.team nails it “There’s a lack of trust in T&S” because they don’t often serve the community

I made a papercraft just for this

If this was a just world, none of the people below would be fired. the management up top would be canned for making such a series of immensely stupid decisions that lead you to firing 1000 people.

Cars are bad for business.

formal proposal of a replacement for the vince mcmahon meme format

By this logic, the fact that it’s easier to get published in a major medical journal if you’re in favor of germ theory is clearly a sign of bias against miasma theory, which must be equally valid because some people believe it.

An emergency

I would put “still plays NYT wordle” on my list of giant red flags. I am still muting a (past?) friend who explained that wordle was so important for their mental health so it’s justified that they not only play it but post their scores to everyone on here.

they'll screech at us that we can trust them when they can't even give up their fucking wordle 🙃

By popular demand, a train horn on a bike vs right on red car brain. I kinda suck at editing #bikesky

NYT is full of shit at so many levels they think this is the article that exemplifies appropriate reporting. They spent hours trying to figure out how to weasel out of reporting this and still ended up with a piece that reads like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Screaming

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

Six days ago:

CALL YOUR CONGRESS PERSON NOW!!!!!! Tell them: — NO to KOSA — NO to Section 230 reform — NO to the SCREEN Act — NO to the App Store Accountability Act —NO age verification laws —NO to digital ID systems

What’s the fucking point of the mainstream media?

One thing I truly hate about the AI period we’re living through is that 99% of projects are now “Check out a thing I slop coded, I have no idea how it even works,” versus projects like this, which tell the world “I am possessed of arcane powers and also totally insane, behold my works and tremble.”

I think I would lay my bike over the top and lock it like that. 😂

we live in the ruins of a greater civilization

Elon Musk genuinely has to be regarded as one of history’s pre-eminent mass murderers

I wonder if the devs working on the Burnout series experienced burnout.

tom homan is a bitch

I’ve made it clear to the few substack writers I used to support. They can stay where they want but they will never get any money from me on that platform. All those “indispensable features” better materialize cash out of thin air.

My doomer-worry about AI is not that the LLMs become omnipotent and take over the world but that the wealthy and powerful use it as a means to consolidate power and marginalize or lay off skilled workers and also everything about our technological and political and social life gets worse

More people should listen to @tressiemcphd.bsky.social When people say AI is inevitable, let them know the future isn’t settled.

I should definitely put more Orbital in my rotation.

So many techbros entire personality has become productivity. It’s like madlib growth hacking but with coding agents. I kinda miss when people would actually talk about technical details rather than their productivity. Why should I care how much value your bots can shovel for some rando shareholders?

Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step. 1. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. You’re not just immobile—you’re immortal, and you feel only anguish. 2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.

it actions like this that make people, especially gen z, despise the democratic party. what are we doing here

Liebe Medien, ich kann die Schlagzeile "Keine Einigung zwischen USA und Dänemark" nicht mehr sehen. Wenn ein Bewaffneter eine Bank stürmt, titelt ihr doch auch nicht: "Räuber und Kassiererin finden keinen Konsens über Geldübergabe." Hört auf, imperiale Aggression als normale Diplomatie zu framen.
