lady wearing a shirt that has been badly edited to say "I joined BlueSky and all I got was blocked by the technical advisor who tried to cool his phone off in a pool and also this jpeg of a t-shirt"

😭 tech used to be so much slower

I got my first cellphone 10 years after SMS texting was invented!
This Is Just To Say
I have turned off
the AI features
that were in
the update
and which
you were probably
hoping
to monetize
Fuck you
they were stupid
so unnecessary
and so annoying
I'm not even 40 yet, only children and naive young adults are allowed to call me old!
Wow, the first novel written by an Ohio State grad
![These simple n-gram language models already have uses. For example, they were a key component of the T9 system for texting on early cell phones. Prior to T9, older readers (older readers is highlighted in yellow) will remember that in order to text the word love, for example, you had to push the "5" key three times (to get to the L), then the "6" key three times, then the "8" key three times, and then finally the "3" twice. The T9 system allowed users to type 5863 and then calculated all of the English words that could be made from [jkl]-[mno]-[tuv]-[def]- and crucially, ranked them in order of frequency, as measured in some training corpus. Early versions of this system only used unigram frequencies (because bigram frequency tables were too large to store on the device), meaning that 4663 always came up as good, even in the context of I'm going [blank], whereas home would be much likelier](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:fbwjjrmpku2fpvhr7hqwstnf/bafkreib26it6qhwnuggb754cq7l2orknl4ouhqhqzxlexscpkq5ua6t6ii)

Finally got a copy of The AI Con and @emilymbender.bsky.social @alexhanna.bsky.social you're killing me here, come on, I did not pay good money to be razzed like this 😂
Imagine making AI bird slop when Jacanas exist
I love writing a multi post thread and then discarding it. I love the ephemeral nature of Not Poasting.
The struggle is what makes us human! You can do it! 😂🙂↕️
Oh yeah, I'm super blocked, nice nice nice 😘👌
Yeah, idk! First I'd heard of this. I'm definitely against smoking, not least of which bc I think I'm allergic to one of the many ingredients in standard cigarettes, but also... how is this gonna even work? I guess we'll find out.
Huh. This sounds impractical? Unworkable? I'm not sure.
But let's contrast this with how the "AI is inevitable even if you hate it" people talk about how regulation use is impossible.
Like, smoking. Smoking. Of the tobacco lobby. And yet:
The smell of beets, especially while cooking, makes me retch, and I've tried really hard to fix myself. I cannot.
A) fuck beets, can't eat em in anything
B) gefilte fish is vile??
The ancestors hate me.
I've only just subscribed to blackbirdcoop & I already love him. Came for the sensible farming/agriculture takes, stayed for the bigot roasts.

With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars.
We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director.
Please stand by for more.
Phone number patterns are beyond my ability to adjust to. 01234 5678 901(2) because they aren't even all the same length?? But also they don't ask have the same pattern, so whatever I guess?????
I used to describe my gender as GORL, I was just missing a Y
The bairn LOVES airplanes but is nervous around new people. It's been such an exercise in restraint to not push them to check out the cockpit. (Plus, it seems like other kids on our flights are assumed to be more interested than the bairn is, which sucks and makes it extra hard not to push them.)
I'm so happy for you!!
it may interest you to know that a sick burn amongst the local 5th graders is to accuse you of doing a Trump Dump in your Vance Pants
EU: The European Union will require sale of mobile phones with “user-replaceable and longer-lasting batteries” starting in 2027.
The regulation demands “availability of spare parts and manuals for 10 years to curb planned obsolescence”.
