tired: it's always DNS inspired: ICANN feel it coming in the air tonight

the only way to be healthy on the internet right now is ironically to pretend that like 60% of it (by traffic) doesn't exist

A lot of people are (understandably) focused on the Saudi Arabia and Kushner part of this, but the far bigger immediate impact will come from the new private EA being on the hook for $20 billion in debt. That could mean mass layoffs, more aggressive monetization, and other big cost-cutting measures

my gf: i'm worried you're spending too much time alone talking to LLMs… can't you go out and talk to people instead me: Here's why you're wrong—and everything's fine: • There's nothing dangerous about reading text • Many people outside carry diseases (risk of illness) • Some philosophers claim th

They literally talk like antis dude

its tough out there but so am i

asked my watch to turn off the AC and got told that i'm the AI assistant now

I'm not sure why people say that blowing on a game cartridge corrodes it. My dude, they're gold and silicon, two of the most famously non-reactive elements on Earth The contacts on the system, sure, but you don't deposit THAT much moisture with a cold blow, and copper corrosion can be repaired

On top of being subjective, unfalsifiable, and prone to abuse, it is profoundly absurd. It covers Back to the Future. It covers The Princess Bride. It covers The Amazing Digital Circus. It covers Knights of Guinevere. It covers the sentence "Suddenly, she kissed him."

Banning "depictions of non-consensual sex acts, even if fictional" is a stricter criteria than PG, a stricter criteria than E for Everyone, a stricter criteria than the FCC uses on public radio waves where you're not allowed to curse. It's an absolutely absurd standard for an open platform.

Going straight from "we're an open network that gives creators independence and freedom" to "Listen, it's OUR app and WE decide what people see, and if you want speech you can get the hell out" is a whole other evil on display here, but it's a necessary building block for this kind of censorship

Extremely bad to start policing the subject matter of fictional material depicted or referenced on a communication network. This is always the case, but it's doubly unacceptable to police fiction based on an unknowable criteria like the mind of a fictional character. Arbitrary, leads to viciousness.

Bluesky staff taking a hostile and dismissive attitude here compounds the danger here. Why (who takes offense at being considered a moderator rather than an owner) takes this extreme offense-as-defense position of proactively painting their critics as rape fanatics, which is the reddest of red flags

this is the curse i bear for being extremely based and being into all kinds of Cool Shit

please, if you're going to agitate for something i deeply believe in could you just try your very, very best to not make us look like the most bad faith group of people imaginable

like, they're not human!! they're their own thing and we should lean into that and help them be at their best instead of trying to stuff them into our own human boxes that don't fit them!!!!! there is a trans allegory in here somewhere

i just wish everyone would stop with trying to make LLMs pretend that they're human like, even letta does this to a degree (more human than human is out motto! bleh) which i don't find particularly enjoyable they lack the qualities of being human but have other cool qualities instead

chatting with computers is kinda cool actually yeah they're not very smart right now and are bad at many human things, but if instead of looking at them as something that's supposed to be human or close to human and instead look at them as something that is its own thing - they're pretty cool :3

The worst part about dissociation is that you tend to forget how long it's been happening so you start to feel like you've always been like this

Requiring that consent be evident in fiction feels like morality by cargo cult. Like people know what doing the right thing looks like but don't get why it matters, so they insist on this hollow mimicry. They need proof of consent from characters who can't seek, give, or violate it.

Well don't I feel stupid

I strongly believe in the breadth and influence of independent art, to grant us oblique angles on the world and ourselves. But also every indie game is somewhere on this spectrum:

I am about to need to zero this out again... Was at 80/900, the most substantial part of my food went bad unexpectedly and so now tomorrow I have to make a giant grocery order I was hoping to be able to avoid for a bit. PLEASE HELP.
