SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems... SIMON: What? SHAPIRO: ...Or saying... SIMON: You imagine that? SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.

SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this. SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Great policy brief from @datasociety.bsky.social - happy to see that it draws from award-winning work by @r-jy.bsky.social and @lucyq.bsky.social at AIES last year.

the new album is actually unlistenable (I enjoy at least 2 Taylor swift albums so I’m not just being a hater by saying this (even though i am one))

idk what’s going on with bluesky. im just here bc the other one is owned by a cartoon villain

How Can We Live Together? - Boston Review Ezra Klein is wrong: shame is essential.

"Common decency stigmatizes people that do not participate in it—removes them from voluntary association. We indeed have to live with one another, but terms and conditions apply."

i actually know a cryptographer-activist actively working on privacy-protecting systems for this problem but im not sure scaling up to huge mass movements is a priority for them

Shout out to @mcsweeneys.net for letting me treat a certain kind of article with the level of respect it deserves. www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/the...

Every leftist knows fellow leftists are some of the most annoying people on the planet but there's a gigantic difference between being annoying and having institutional power. If you spend most of your energy punching left instead of right you simply do not have your priorities straight

I miss machine learning as the buzzword. It promised less

i hate when shitposters from X complain about the vibe over here. like come and post. this will therefore change the vibe

they deserve some legal recourse for what is about to happen

is it too late to make furries a protected class

i think trying to read it as face value is unintentionally hilarious (pretend the words are actual english) - four heads, three of them labelled bipolar disorder, arrows pointing randomly, imagining what kind of point is being communicated if this were designed by a human (which it was not)

nonsensical AI image that looks like it is going to be a helpful illustration but actually contains only gibberish

extremely funny first result for "borderline personality disorder vs bipolar" (which i searched for for reasons that luckily have nothing to do with my personal life fyi)

This is just objectively the exact opposite of the truth. Every serious effort to actually quantify the ideological valence of political violence has found the reverse of what Vance claims.

honestly id rather be on the planet of the apes right now. the apes had due process

Arguello, where this crash took place, was supposed to get protected bike lanes three years ago after Ethan Boyes was killed.

Despite $1.25M in state funding being allocated, there's been no progress and no particularly good reason why not. This is the result.

Wait tap me for this if you ever get around to it

Remarkable how centrist pundits like Noah Smith are still prattling on about "cancel culture" and "Bluesky-ization" while people are getting fired for insufficient mourning of a bigoted liar who constantly directed hatred towards the majority of Americans.

the wizard of oz munchkins dancing on the grave of the wicked witch of the east…. Despicable

in my experience when people of any age on the spectrum or who have a hard time connecting with their peers for other reasons go on the internet as their only source of community/socialization it can either be really good or really bad

not to mention when i lived there the waitlist for getting a psychiatrist was like 2 years
