Sometimes you don't survive whole, you just survive in part. But the grandeur of life is that attempt. It is about being as fearless as one can, and behaving as beautifully as one can, under completely impossible circumstances. <3

Im designing a tool that use AI to flag when someone is taking someone else out of context. Misquotes, uncharitable interpretations, inaccurate recontextualizationsโ€ฆ maybe this should be a bluesky labelerโ€ฆ

Like social media manipulation does mean that:
โ€” voters got false information about candidates
โ€” bad actors encouraged people not to vote
โ€” anonymity protects but is also a vehicle for disinformation

Thatโ€™s just how the thing is now! Online trust is tenuous/damaged! Themโ€™s the breaks

People on this app get really angry every time I point out that social media manipulation is a real phenomenon that we are all stewing in and thatโ€™s having real world consequences and Iโ€™m sure part of that is engagement farmers who do that manipulation not liking people talking about it

screenshot reads: Many (not all) insiders now say AGI โ€” artificial general intelligence โ€” stands a good chance of happening in the next few years. AGI is a generative AI model that could, on intellectually oriented tests, outperform human experts on 90% of questions. That doesnโ€™t mean AI will be able to dribble a basketball, make GDP grow by 40% a year or, for that matter, destroy us. Still, AGI would be an impressive accomplishment โ€” and over time, however slowly, it will change our world.

This @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social video is absolutely INCREDIBLE. The numbers he cites, the strategy and results they produced โ€” itโ€™s the future. When have you heard *any* campaign talk about this, ever? (Video split in 2 to fit in Blueskyโ€™s limits)

Still not enough conversation about her being one of the best performers in hip-hop by a wide fucking margin.

So I tried to post on X about how I'm moving to BlueSky and why. The tweet got less than 10% of the views of my 5 most recent tweets. Think the algorithm is suppressing this information?

Once again, so much for a "free and open town square".

You could say the same about being called black, we also demanded to be called african american

Less so user research and more so exploring ideas of collective governance and what would be required there. We've never really had a platform where the needs of individual users are the focus point... reddit might be the closest with custom moderation rules etc...

It's me... i'm the product team ๐Ÿ˜‡

But, in all seriousness, FUBU means having a space where the black community decides it's own future, fate, and governance. It's important that there's a part of the internet where the buttons, the rules, and the rankings are governed by afrofuturistic visions.

Thanks! It's a tool made by a friend Colin Megill. He created it for democratic decision making. Fun fact, It's actually been piloted for community based policy making in several cities :)

Yโ€™all got it done! ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿซจ๐Ÿคฉ As a community we hit the monthly subscription goal.
