I'm noticing a trend in these AI-induced psychosis cases: the unwarranted ascribing of sentience to a statistical token generator. Strange that we are so surrounded by the sentience of other animals of which so many humans simply dismiss as unconscious instinctual automatic behaviour. But when […]

I'm sure this kind of terrible stuff still happens in the fediverse, but on well moderated instances, is it at least better here when compared to corporate owned social media? https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/feb/23/15-year-old-girl-misogyny-social-media-online-abuse

Just gonna keep banging on about Gary Stevenson because he just keeps making too much sense in a way that only a dude who grew up dirt poor can. Maybe it's because I grew up with a single mum in housing commission and not much money but I can really relate. This here is 🔥 "You know what? I […]

in 2017 a popular twitter game was to type a partial phrase then see what your phone auto-completes it with. this proved so popular that it is now the only business model in the US.

While platforms like #matrix or #signal manage user identities on a server, #deltachat and #Chatmail are not platforms in the classic sense. They operate without a central registry, meaning there is no central gatekeeper to grant or deny access. This setup for private messaging naturally […]
