Looks like LLMs are *very* vulnerable to attack via poetic allusion: "curated poetic prompts yielded high attack-success rates (ASR), with some providers exceeding 90% ..."

Another one to chalk up to Hollywood stereotypes, I suspect. Films and TV shows have been feeding us the "once successful writer struggling with writer's block" stereotype for decades.

Good article by @im.giovanh.com about a "cozy" airport security game.

Wholesome games tend to reimagine labor -and reality as a whole- as we'd like it to be: beautiful, tidy, meaningful, social... but why would there be terrorist threats in this utopia?

If you're feeling like the people who run Bluesky aren't on your team, here's what you do:

find the people you'd like to stay connected to and talk to them directly about talking somewhere other than here. Become discord friends or something.

Just doing that will alleviate a lot of the anxiety.

So I'd like to show a demonstration of what this "waffles" thing is. Here's a conversation between *this site's* CEO, some random guy, and the cofounder of "Tangled", a GitHub clone built on top of Bluesky's protocol.

Please take a moment to really think, about the shape of this thoughtlessness.

Starting to think we really need to actually teach vaudeville instead of skipping straight from photography to television. You need that huge cultural foundation to understand what got built on it.

A cartoon drawing of a fish in water, eating fish flakes that are falling in.
An arrow pointing to flakes says "YOUR COMMENTS ON MY LITTLE PICTURES AND STORIES"
An arrow pointing to the fish says "GROWING FAT AND HEALTHY"
Another arrow pointing to the fish says "ME (ARTIST)"

That Cardboard Box in Your Home Is Fueling Election Denial A previously unreported boom in profits for the shipping supply giant Uline has provided the funds for a deeply conservative Midwestern family to bankroll anti-democracy causes around the country.

Much of the cardboard and paper goods strewn about our homes are sold by a single private company, with its name, Uline, stamped on the bottom.

Many may not know that a multibillion-dollar fortune made on those ubiquitous products fuels far-right candidates across the country.

Oh. Also, Fade In v5 has no "AI". Zip, nada, none. No tools, no nothing. Fade In respects all writers and artists. It doesn't use your work or β€” just as importantly β€” the stolen work of others.

I'm currently reading @edyong209.bsky.social's delightful book on animal senses, AN IMMENSE WORLD, and this scenario is precisely why giant squid have some of the best visual sensors on the planet (if they can't spot a whale heading towards them through dark water, this happens).

The companies are the ones that subvert the possibility inherent in the medium of comics and transform it into a lens through which you can only see one way of life existing. There are other ways of seeing and other lenses through which life can be experienced. Never let Them take that from You.

I do the opposite of this. I try to get captchas to accept things that kinda look like bikes and stop lights but aren't. Partly because it's a fun game to me. But also because I think I'd much rather see false positives than false negatives on identifying these things.

people think there's a tiiiny overlap between the Games You Want to Make and the Games The Market Wants.

sometimes there is.

but sometimes all the Games You Want To Make are so unwanted even you don't want to see them afterwards. they're out in orbit, untouchable by any venn.
