Though dangerous, they commit surprisingly little actual murder -- only a handful of documented deaths -- despite their reputation.

An image of Audrey Tang, Taiwan’s cyber ambassador, first digital minister, architect of the Taiwan Model for digital diplomacy and 2025 Right Livelihood laureate, is featured in a graphic promoting AI Safety Asia’s AI Crisis Diplomacy — Governing AI in a Fragmented World panel at the India AI Impact Summit 2026.

#ResponsibleAI sees AI safety as civil defence.

At #IndiaAIImpactSummit2026, we went deeper.

Diplomatic time runs in years. Algorithmic time runs in milliseconds. AI crisis diplomacy must close that gap.

Read on & let’s #FreeTheFuture🖖 — together!

A buddy of mine wanted to collab on a cover of "Dare" by Gorillaz years ago, so I did a little WIP thing, but the full collab never came through. It's a fun song, too, though.

Gorillaz are one of those bands I've always loved, but never done a deep dive. Maybe it's time.

The visuals here are really cool!

Are you actually satisfied with where Reddit is at right now? I've been on Reddit for close to 20 years, but definitely been digging for alternatives lately (thus me spending more time on Bluesky, and I actually found this post through Phanpy.social).

I think writing "us" is the right choice, I was just curious if anyone else was involved already.

An assumed plurality ⿻ is very much my vibe, so definitely on-board with you doing the same!

It's nuts how glasses are literally like a few pieces of plastic, but our system still requires people to pay hundreds of dollars for them.

Who's "us"? Is it multiple people working on this? What happened in the three months between this and the most recent update?

There's a lot of things I *don't* miss about living in Milwaukee -- the snow, the traffic, the stark cleft between city, suburb, and rural -- but the Menomonee River Parkway and Oak Leaf Trail is just something I can't get where I am now. I could literally walk or bike a mile and be there.

I FEEL this. I try to also make my vegging time productive (if I'm watching TV, I'm also exercising, etc.). It's still too easy for the creation to get left in the dust, but at least my body's not horribly out of shape.

It's definitely fine, it's just a difficult road. Many will immediately tune out anything offsite, so the trick is figuring out how to get people to invest their time and interest in you on the native platform. Bluesky doesn't really give a native monetization channel, unfortunately.

I added it to my playlist of music from Bluesky. It's a shame I don't really have a good way to track where it came from, though.

Maybe I should add a label like #YoshemitzuBlueskyPlaylist. We'll see whether I end up actually using that.

When the researchers intentionally damaged the cnidarian neurons, the subjects actually slept longer to fix them. 🤔

You can just imagine that grubby little gremlin getting madder and madder as he gets to the end of writing it. Maybe he'll have a coronary before Trump does.

I like to think a person or robot on January 8th, 22,026 will search the databanks of humanity for anything of note on that date, and this is actually the first mention of that specific date in human history. #InTheFuture

Billionaires want you working endlessly because if you had time not to work, you would disrupt the status quo.

If they actually cared about economic value, they'd build and support systems enabling anyone to wait until their million-dollar idea comes along, not to toil ad mortem just to survive.

Yes, the Plurality from shows like #Pluribus is actually coming, and possibly sooner than we think. Many out there are already attempting to "deepfake" their way through important interactions.

And that kind of "positivity" is actually quite toxic. To survive it, we will need to talk about it.

I don't see how we beat that unless we actively push back against it and build community around it. Am I missing conversation spaces where this is already happening?

Maybe we need a conversation space like #PositivityLoops, where people can share and engage in conversation that actually has positive feedback for positive contributions to conversation.

Like a lot of our current systems are focused on positive feedback for negative contributions. Outrage sells.

Just to be clear: I don't think you have to be positive all the time. It's OK to complain about some things. That's natural.

But try to make your net positive output outweigh (by far, if possible!) your negativity, and avoid obvious negativity loops and personal attacks. It's just not worth it.

Better yet, intentionally reply more often with positivity. Say nice things. Like and share more often.

Spreading negativity is literally decreasing the *value* of the universe. That's why Reddit is such a cesspit, because you can do it without even leaving a comment.

People underestimate the effect of solutions like a neti pot as well. A significant amount of chest and nasopharyngeal discomfort simply comes from it all being dried out in those spaces.

So how does it work, you rig a high-quality camera with a motion sensor pointed at flowers, and then zoom in on the photos? I'm assume you're not physically right up there taking a zoomed-in shot (that would be insane, if so, though).

@support.bsky.team The Discover feed used to tell me this or that content came from which particular feed I subscribe to, but it has stopped doing so. Is it broken, or did I change something by accident?

The hashtag with broken clickability still appears in searches, even with a double-quote in front of it with no space in the search bar.

This formatting quirk does *not* keep the post from appearing in the hashtag search.
