I can help you better than Pascal: just don't pick "AI", then you're golden. With the money you save you can pay me in obscure stationery and decent stout, thank you very much!

Love the butthurt dinguses writing essays on why it’s evil to poke fun at their bs-o-matic lmao. How much time do theu have to write these comments out, theyre so long

Isn't the whole bleeding point of fucking Ey Ay to take all the disparate web shite, smush it all together, and provide an interactive UI?

Avoiding a more disgusting simile, isn't this trying to reconstitute a burnt tree from the ashes? These nerds are verily Oceangating the depths of dimwittery

There's two kinds of professors: those who understand that their course is not the only one in the curriculum, and those who suck at teaching.

Professor: close readings of assigned materials pls.

Assigned materials per week: 3-5 items adding up to 100-200 pages merely for his class.

Yea sorry no I'm skimming this shit. I've four other courses. This is how you suck at teaching.

I wonder how many of these “clanker is like n word” ppl are the exact same who when called a cracker by a Black person belive they’re being subjected to supposed “anti-white racism“

Screenshot of bsky post saying: you have not heard these because you don't do ai art, you're not the target of the bigotry thus don't get confronted with it. It's real easy to ignore when you're not being targeted.

No such thing as “AI art” exists, but the perversion of social justice language here is at a level that’s worthy of being displayed in a modern art museum for the ages, as an illustration of how meaningless words are without the social context around them.

actually our AI programs are like people so its racist to say you don't like them. anyway would you like to buy one

Looks like this thread is evolving into my potential "why I left bsky" blog's outline.. Should give a bit more chance to the possibility that leading cadres quit & things improve, but there's a gray zone b/w hope and foolishness, & one may traverse it without noticing...

"But they are following similar patterns."

...I need you to understand that the problem with racial slurs is not how they are categorical pejoratives, it's not how they are grammatically leveraged, and it's not how they are reductive. It's that racial slurs malign *inherent qualities* of *people*.

People... are allowed to come up with mean names for inanimate objects. If you compare this practice to racial slurs, I'm going to think you believe people of other races hold the same concrete significance and value as inanimate objects. This is one of those slips that does not look good on anyone.

Jay Graber Confuses the Gas and Brake Pedals | Azhdarchid As your new Head of Comms I advise you to please stop posting this shit.

"Ultimately, I think Graber is trying to drive queer users off the platform not as part of some 6D chess plan to push decentralization, but simply out of bigoted animus."

There’s a kind of person who is the reason that blocks and bans exist. They’re also the ones who argue loudest that blocking is evil, and you’ll be stuck in a filter bubble or an echo chamber if you deprive yourself of their sparkling wit. You should block these guys faster than anyone.

And mentions Northsky

The piece talks a decent bit about Blacksky.

I forgot to say, I want to publish my linguistics research ideas ofc because I’ve moved on to the area of history for my own career

seeking authenticity, righteousness, and economic gain.

If this is not described yet, it’s ripe for a variety of studies. I wanted to apply Kira Hall and Mary Bucholtz’s Tactics of Intersubjectivity to it, with a mind for what I called “majoritised/privileged identity discourses”, basically how the privileged construct and exploit their own identities, +

I should do a blog post about my #linguistics #langsky research ideas sometime but note that I was reminded of it I’ll chuck out one of the better ones: there’s an identity growing around landlordism in some online parts with a peculiar identity discourse, and even anti-tenant slurs like “rentoid”

I sure do hope David is wrong and this stuff comes crumbling down sooner so I can write my thesis in peace without the constant background noise of generative Ey Ay

AI winter is in the air! But we think the AI bubble keeps going until 2027 After two years’ wait, and Sam Altman talking up how scary smart it was, OpenAI finally released GPT-5! And it was … meh. It could program a bit better? It didn’t do anything else much better…

I got yer "AI 2027" right here pivot-to-ai.com/2025/08/23/a...

Wasn’t expecting the latest @jagohazzard.bsky.social vid about a supposed tube station hidden under the Buckingham Palace to have in it a great illustration of the pitfalls of “AI” but it indeed had, and he caught a great one too!

Ew. Didn't know that, don't really know her much. But she was the meta topic on here after her post about jkr got removed hence why my mind wandered there first, I suppose

I think the confusing bit is Jesse cos at least i didn't know who that was initially. Horribly, I thought they were talking about Jessie Gender the YouTuber initially, imagine my confusion lol
