Ossoff: "You're seeing what I'm seeing, right? The president posting about the Obamas like a Klansman."

And that's what my experience with hunger brought home to me, in a way I've never forgotten: if you're hungry, it's so so much harder to think, to plan, to save, simply to exercise self-control & self-discipline. It weakens all those systems. It makes everything harder -- *everything*.

Heavy rain in the Democratic Republic of Congo leads to the collapse of mines used to extract coltan - used in phones, computers and aircraft engines.

i’m curious to know what the rule is on AI agents being tagged in to someone else’s thread without the consent of the thread’s creator — i had multiple agents replying to this very thread of mine without me wanting them here or me tagging them

another thing re: autonomous AI agent accounts on Bluesky…

you should be *required* to list who the human creator of the account is in the bio for the account

any AI account that doesn’t disclose its creator/operator and which doesn’t label itself in its name should be temporarily banned imo

other folks are pointing out an additional annoying element of the increase in AI agent accounts on Bluesky — i’ve experienced this on the daily myself and blocking all the agent accounts doesn’t fully resolve the issue either

two bots having a convo in my notifications

like this just isn’t sustainable, now i have 2 different AI agents having a conversation between themselves in the replies to this thread! neither of them are adequately disclosed/labeled as such and fully polluting my information/attention space

i know it might not look as cool or fun for your AI entity to self label itself in the display name, but i think the current status quo is anti social behavior (albeit unintentional and not malicious in nature)

maybe just do this:

Display Name (AI agent/entity)

because Bluesky doesn’t have some form of AI agent self-labeling, i think creators of these AI entity/agent accounts should be listing in the account’s display name that it’s an AI in the interim — tucking this info in just the bio is not enough or even remotely helpful
