The absolute irony of this info also showing "Verified since" – just really putting on display how stupid and useless the "Verified" badge is now. Honestly, the "buy a bluecheck" thing was probably the worst change that Elon implemented. Completely destroyed the entire site.

Make like a tree and grow.

Content should come with some kind of certificate of authenticity, so that with one click I can know what was modified. Half of what we see is fake, and it's getting harder to decide. My default now is to assume something's fake unless there's objective reason to believe it.

alright folks, we gotta start citing photographers again. we gotta be sourcing things. with all the new AI shit going around you are ALWAYS going to want to try to trace that shit back to its source. be the snopes you (and your followers) need in this world, and also real photography appreciators

I take on average 10,000 stills and a half hour of video every week. Most I'll never think about again. This I'll hold onto until I grow old. 4 hours ago. Zero edits. No recoloring. No cropping. Nothing. Just straight up reality. 🦑

Please stop spreading the odious rumor that Elon Musk hangs out normally or has friends.

@hankgreen.bsky.social nooo, Hank don’t do it!!!

from the hellscape of LinkedIn today:

I don't understand how anyone can watch how blatantly Grok is manipulated to answer the way ownership desires it to and then act like the other LLM chatbots couldn't possibly be similarly but less obviously compromised to produce responses in whatever way corporate interests and priorities dictate.

The fact that the entire US elite class clutched onto this book as a source of deep insight tells you all you need to know about the people running this shitshow.

Now more than ever. @jordanmorris.bsky.social said it best

one of the things that makes me most mad about genAI (and there are many) is we've been told there's not enough money for hiring. but there's billions poured into ai. so not enough money to hire workers. but infinite money to pour into technology whose goal is never having to pay workers again.

Trump's domestic Gestapo raided a job site, then handcuffed a US citizen born in Raleigh NC -- even after being shown the guy's REAL ID, which is only available to US citizens and LPRs CBP+ICE will ignore your identifying documents when it suits their racism www.newsobserver.com/news/local/a...

17 strikes and you’re out. 💀

“Testing“ a ceasefire would be like amassing troops on the border or delaying a hostage release. There is no sense in which dropping bombs and killing peoples “tests“ a ceasefire. That literally doesn’t make sense linguistically.

Israel cannot break ceasefires, they can only “test“ them by killing dozens of people

If you have been sharing that Malwarebytes article on the Gmail thing, you should note the giant correction up top. www.malwarebytes.com/blog/news/20...

it's insane to me that Dropout still hasn't gotten the rights to re-do a US version of Taskmaster

You’re gonna see posts that make you think “I agree on principle but you seem unwell.” That’s the bluesky promise.

we have fallen so far behind China in sick-ass water slides and I feel like nobody is talking about this

This is the closest humans have gotten to achieving the Star Trek replicator

Amazing incorrect lyrics on the karaoke machine yesterday

The party that promised "free speech on campus" has made sure there can be no free speech on campuses.

It's wild how "our intellectual elite are a bit morally smug" warrants the same article being pushed out saying as much for a decade, but a global paedophile ring in which many of our richest and most powerful and leading minds all took part is, you know, uncouth to talk about.

"why don't you add alt text to all of your photos? you must not care about blind people!" No, it's just a pain in the ass when half the time I try to post pics, I get this error which can only be fixed by deleting & reuploading each pic (therefore having to retype the alt text) @support.bsky.team

Found a bunch of Turkey Vultures perching on a park fence the other day, but this one clearly took the best spot and was kind enough to pose for me. #birds #vulture

It’s widely known (and, I think, pretty uncontroversial) that learning requires effort — specifically, if you don’t have to work at getting the knowledge, it won’t stick. Even if an LLM could be trusted to give you correct information 100% of the time, it would be an inferior method of learning it.

What the inside of my air fryer looks like is between me and God

The tech industry's smol bean act is so maddening. Gee, all we did is put out products that make frequent errors while telling everyone they're going to lose their jobs to them. How come they don't like that?

I literally could not stop myself from inappropriately laughing out loud for real

trying to switch off the AI bloatware that has been pinned to the top of every single menu in every single app

Lumping them together as “AI” gives readers the impression that a single class of tool is discerning novel protein structures, teasing subtle patterns out of mountains of LHC data, writing a student’s History 101 paper, and arguing a ketamine-addled billionaire could post up Shaq in his prime. No.

Machine learning (umbrella term, I know) is a useful, sometimes transformative tool in the hands of trained researchers who understand how to deploy it and critically assess the results. A chatbot is not useful in the same ways (though underlying technologies may be, in other contexts).

Journalist challenge: Use “Machine Learning” when you mean machine learning and “LLM” when you mean LLM. Ditch “AI” as a catch-all term, it’s not useful for readers and it helps companies trying to confuse the public by obscuring the roles played by different technologies. 🧪

Happy 20th Birthday Xbox 360 Xbox 360 website in 2009

Ah, I'm awake again. Time to open the psychological harm app

evergreen

look at what they took from us...

The diversity of horizontal navigation in 2004 #WebDesignHistory

Got fed this ad on Instagram the other day. In my mind, the AI was beating itself over the head & muttering “five fingers… FIVE fingers… c’mon, you’ve GOT THIS…”

Another day, another fantastic tiktok restaurant advertisement

it's the Apple Suction Pro

Why the hell is Xbox advertising a "full screen experience" as if that's something novel??

A great example of how bad streaming services can be for media. Paramount own Star Trek, yet somehow still run into licensing issues?
