Like I'm sorry, but the AI weirdos have DELIBERATELY created this confusion 100% so they can capitalize on the assumptions people who don't understand the difference will make.

This was the endgame of all the AI bros! no one knowing the difference!

Sorry they created this mess BUT THEY DID!

An Eldritch Spookster for this spooky season.

Yes, we are detecting problems with Steam that began 27 minutes ago.

is this the end of days?

AUKUS signed and waved through in 24 hours.

The coalition's defence-spending-to-2.5%-of-GDP policy announced less than a day after the shadow minister heard about it.

Yet it takes years to get not-even-half-decent environmental laws passed in Australia.

Our nation's priorities are screwed.

govt, giggling: hey corporations, you need to start verifying ages online now, it's the law!

corps, snickering: oh no, don't make us collect identifying data we can profit from...oops there was a breach!

govt, struggling to stay straight faced: tsk shame, don't let it happen again

corps: tee hee

describing a bot specifically built to highlight visibility problems with atproto as being solely for harassment is a pretty self-serving & malicious reframing as well

Thinking about how there's still no explanation for how Singal got Bill Kezos' deets other than Bluesky corporate violating multiple laws to give them to him

Robin Williams’ Daughter Tells Fans to ‘Stop Sending Me AI Videos of Dad’: It’s ‘Gross’ and ‘Not What He’d Want’ Zelda Williams tells fans not to send her AI recreations of father Robin Williams, calling them "gross."

“You’re not making art, you’re making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else’s throat hoping they’ll give you a little thumbs up and like it. Gross.”
A perfect distillation of why I hate AI.

i pronounce it with a hard C

oh god are the moomins crypto-nazis now too?

Ireland literally getting so much right

Whenever anarchism — or any idea more radical than the status quo — gets dismissed as unserious, it's worth remembering the current system runs on things like "we put all the money on a scam machine that tells rich dipshits they're god."

"why do people keep going on about this thing i haven't addressed" fucking hell this place is run by the absolute dimmest of shitheads

<a whole fucking year after getting caught liking a porn post and then banning the person who noticed> that, uh, that was for _work_ and i'm offended you'd assume otherwise

ARE WE JOKING????

thirty fucking years on the internet watching it get relentlessly worse under every one of their ideological influences

basically we need to [redact] every single libertarian or none of this is ever going to get any better

They’ll remove the anti ai blocklist but they won’t do anything about the largely followed dedicated blocklist that specifically states it’s for blocking anyone with bpd/npd/any other personality disorder.

There is no democracy without transparency

Bluesky: We want you to moderate yourselves as you see fit.
Also Bluesky: No not like that!

let’s not memory hole the time a zionist group doctored and circulated a video to make false claims about activists at the opera house on 9 October 2023 and the two women who exposed the hoax have been removed from their positions at the ABC and NSW Police, one of them unlawfully.

this is as predictable as it is tedious, right wingers were frustrated by how effective blocklist are here, bluesky mods felt pressure to appease terf and fundamentalist karens, so they cracked the door open and now the little worms will atomize blocklists and their authors with community guidelines

we are entering an era of intense karenification on bluesky

jira's down, can't work

wait hold up a minute

the problem is that they are "burning through compute costs with no offsetting revenue"

and the "potential solution" is "sharing some of this revenue"

they aren't making any money....but the solution is that they're going to share it?

When you realize how long it takes for a single tree to become fully mature and how many trees it takes to be productive... This is just one more method of *generational* violence.

Just over two hours to still pick it up on sale!

Ban socialists all you want. The idea will never die. Humanity could be nuked back to the stone ages and it would return

plus we're restructuring our society around all of this like we're trying to cargo cult it into existence
