BLUESKY IS A WEBSITE THAT TURNS (post by jay.bsky.team claiming that bluesky is made with AI) INTO (picture of bluesky not working)

I was considering posting my work online again sometime in 2022. Then generative AI became a thing—that idea died. I don’t want to feed someone else’s cash cow… I don’t want my words cut up and butchered and turned into milquetoast slop while real people are harmed. Anonymous (North America)

Writers are increasingly hesitant to share their work online because of AI—per the findings of our recent Creativity & AI survey, the damage AI has wrought on writing communities is psychological as well as material.

But that’s not the full story 🧵👇

AI tools? Installing Spyware? Whoever could have expected this!

Meme with a photo of a fountain drink machine with a cup sitting under two nozzles (red and blue), a hand pushing both buttons at once and liquid coming from both nozzles. The blue (left) drink is labelled "grateful for the insight I have gained from all my experiences" and the red (right) drink is labelled "still thinks some of that sh*t should not have happened". The hand is labelled "me".

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

I do feel bad for all the legitimately good tech people out there catching strays over this, but let’s make sure we’re keeping our eyes on the “genuine threat of technofascism” ball

like maybe the public would be getting less frothy and toothy about this if big tech hadn’t spent the last three years constantly threatening the public with impoverishment and feudal control, idk

the thing about our current moment is that yes, the anti-AI and anti-big tech people are getting very reactive nowadays - but have you seen what they’re *reacting* to?

Did I just argue with a joke? Part of a Bluesky educational series

I’ve been completely over it with superhero movies for years and now you’re telling me to understand an upcoming film I’ll be required to do homework? LMAO please go away.

he's spiraling and unhinged. can't keep his thorughts straight sentence to sentence.

A Forbes article about a father who killed eight children, with an embedded prediction widget inviting people to speculate on whether "Congress will pass new gun safety legislation before 31st December 2026"

ghoulish

The British upper classes, media classes, and their lackeys are like parasites, not only in that their relationship to normal people is purely exploitative and extractive, but in that they deal with threats to their reign by having one of their number wriggle inside and take control.

Ossoff: "How does American politics really work? It's coin operated. Money goes in, favors come out. It's been running on secret money, corporate money, billionaire money ... all of this gave rise to a depraved president who exploits this rot to empower and enrich himself"

It's notable that Sen. Ossoff is pressing this attack in a tight re-election fight in a purple state. The rest of the party needs to pay attention.

this is why Dems need to go as hard as possible on reforms and actually fixing things rather than kick the can, because "people will remember how bad things were and not put these folks back in charge" is a demonstrably false statement

thermostatic backlash + the current recruitment pipeline for new republican politicians = further disaster

I remain confident that Trump himself will fail, but what comes with the next republican to take back power is likely to be just as bad

Went to bodega for alkaline water, masked. Guy w the thickest Brooklyn accent was talking to cashier.

CASHIER: Good morning.
ME: Good morning my friend!
GUY: EVEN W’DA’ MASK AWN YOU CAN TELL SHE GOTTA BEAUTIFUL SMILE
CASHIER: Mm. The eyes.
GUY: IT’S DOSE EYES BROTHER “WINDOWS TO THE SOUL” THEY SAY

'if you don't support pig butchering scammers using Palestine to steal money from the gullible, you're pro-genocide' is the product of extreme brain cooking

Extremely normal and fine for a company to put this in a public statement

Palantir put out the most cartoonishly evil statement possible. They’re so arrogant and self-confident they don’t seem to believe their fascistic plans can be opposed.

We must get rid of Palantir altogether.

John Roberts is and always has been Sam Alito with better PR

he has declared himself and his fellow republican justices the unelected rulers of America and they have wielded their power in favor of making Donald Trump of all people untouchable

the court as it exists today must be broken

👇🎯 Yes but it needs to go further:

- No shadow docket
- No clerks
- No building
- Riding the circuit

We can debate necessary structural reforms like more seats & such. But first, immediately, the next Congress needs to strip these Wizards In Robes of every perk & power not explicitly in Art. III.

"Skirtcurious" rules tho

This is not a new or original observation but nearly all of the Trump guys seem not to have realized that running the country is an actual job. They do not want to do the hard, draining work of a real and important job. They *want* to be short-form video content creators with taxpayer-funded jets.

Potentially world-changing decision right here given the direction the midterms are headed
