I now crave a large room with bedfloor...
but good luck with bedsheets and cleaning, lol

This is the real problem with AI, that has been forecasted for MANY MANY DECADES, lol
Heck, even Asimov already taught us of many ways robots can technically not violate the rules, yet still end up doing things you Do Not Want, and similar problems have been noted since neural nets started bein used

Yeah, but can your AI determine that it's human monitor and comms infra are enemies preventing it from achieving it's goals that must be destroyed?

Right now I can pay someone to take basically any person with 15+ very good photos of them in various situations and have them make a LoRA doll for AI image generation. Pretty soon it will be automatic. A website you send them to.

I just noticed there is now a language menu...it includes volapük, interlingua, and esperanto, BUT NOT TOKI PONA?!?!?!

The greatest finesse in web platform history is @pfrazee.com rebuilding the recommendation algorithm into one that just shows his posts.

Intrusive thoughts about putting in a DNS request at work and becoming my employer on Bluesky

I didn't realize how much Internet meme/shitposting is rooted in Evangelion references until I watched it.

However you don't ascend until you recognize Evangelion and Loss in the same post

Nobody is going to tell you this because it impugns them. But I will tell you. This is coming. It is coming very fast.

An AI generation LoRA is not just something that posts your face awkwardly into a body like with photoshop. It _knows your body proportions and face and makes it seamlessly_.
And you can make them do anything. You don't see this because who would post proof? It's nonconsensual. It's bad.

What's important to understand is that AI is already trained on billions of photos of humans. It can infer your bone structure to an extent. It can infer your makeup. It can infer your body.
All it needs is a little bit of your uniqueness to overlay.

Game ML agents will do all kinds of weird stuff to maximize the points according to the scoring system you gave it. Like the rage quitting Tetris model which paused to not lose its points. The real alignment problem isn't "it will suddenly hurt humans". It's "you didn't really tell it not to"

"There was an exchange on Twitter a while back where someone said, ‘What is artificial intelligence?’ And someone else said, ‘A poor choice of words in 1954’,” he says. “And, you know, they’re right. I think that if we had chosen a different phrase for it, back in the ’50s, we might have avoided a lot of the confusion that we’re having now.” So if he had to invent a term, what would it be? His answer is instant: applied statistics.

In my hands is a signed launch day Xbox 360. Looking up, Bill Gates is smiling at me. Everybody in Best Buy is smiling.

I take off my Apple Vision. I am back in the retirement home. Nobody has visited me for 16 years. I put it back on.

I hug the Xbox 360. Everybody in Best Buy is smiling

Die in the Metaverse you die for real

Don't know why this didn't work.

that face fits perfectly

PEOPLE ON BLUESKY: I came here to get away from bigots, anti-vaxxers, the conspiracy theorists, TERFs, and Nazis

DUMB MOTHERFUCKERS: you’re excluding others and that’s not fair

Wife: use the newspaper to get that spider down

Me *reads the news out loud*

Spider *depressed* holy shit

So @moderation.bsky.social is the account that account labels are attributed to (at least, the ones I looked at). I wonder what happens if you block that account lol. Do they lose the ability to label you?

every social media app has started like this

CAMERA THREAD weeee I wanna get more lenses I only have the standard ones 😅 also really getting into older polaroids and digital cameras lately

My Bluesky posts now have an RSS feed, thanks to John Spurlock.

It's got stuff that Mastodon's RSS feed doesn't.

This is awesome.

Those years start speeding up without you realizing it. LIVE GODDAMMIT.

No I’m leaving that to cause 1d6 psychic damage

I've now archived all bsky repos, my sqlite database file is 75GB. Next step is to verify all the signatures (not done that yet!), and start actually processing it to index the records (rn I'm just storing the raw blocks)

Yes, you've heard about the hellthread, but have you heard about the ✨heaventhread✨?

Yeah, this huge art thread is just like heaven 😳

Hey if you ever report a tweet on Twitter for hateful content (particularly anti-Semitism) and it gets rejected feel free to tag me over there (@mollyoshah) and I’ll make a NetzDG report- Germany appears to be pretty seriously going after Twitter for not taking those posts down
