I see people taking great pride in the fact that they don’t use AI for work and don’t have AI experience. Some even thinking it will give them an edge? Imagine 30 years ago declaring: “I’ll be able to do my job without the internet or a computer” before anyone knew how encompassing it would be.

Personally, I can do my job without the sycophancy nexus, so I’ll be ok I think… but I see a lot of people slowly sliding into this stuff

Go check out Flushes “Number Two” - a real custom atproto app made by @dame.is And currently fundraising for the @trevorproject.bsky.social

If you’re just now hearing about @flushes.app thanks to the big relaunch, here is my original blog post from over a year ago that explains how/why I first made it: dame.is/blogging/cre...

Creating a decentralized bathroom (powered by the AT Protocol)

As many of you know by now, I am a Lexicon enjoyer. So much so that this week I created the world's first bathroom that is connected to the AT Protocol. Yes, you read that correctly...

We’re now up to $500 for the Trevor Project given by flushers on @flushes.app! Halfway to the goal! 🏳️‍⚧️ Check out the newly redesigned version of this ~classic~ Atmosphere bathroom app and support trans youth impacted by discriminatory bathroom bills: flushes.app

A year ago I created a silly app called @flushes.app. It was one of my first Atmosphere projects and had lots of rough edges. Today I'm excited to share a total redesign/overhaul of the app along with a fundraiser for @trevorproject.bsky.social! Please share and consider donating! 🤍 flushes.app

It’s only been an hour since launch and @flushes.app has already raised $250 out of my $1,000 goal for trans youth via The Trevor Project! 🏳️‍⚧️🧻 Thanks so much to everyone who has reshared, flushed, and donated so far! Would love to be able to hit the goal in the first 24 hours: flushes.app

The greatest of all possible uses for a decentralized internet protocol now comes with a great cause as well. Feels like a real missed opportunity not to go with "Flushes Number Two" though...

@flushes.app was one of the first examples of a totally unique ATproto app that was clearly built for fun. And a good protocol encourages people to create fun toys. But now it's back wit a new version... with a fundraiser in support of @trevorproject.bsky.social . Kudos to @dame.is on the relaunch.

They are organizing in groups that intentionally isolate themselves from the rest of humanity. "Coding" is the only way to gain entry to these groups. They fundraise on it, and "coding" skills seem to give you permission to change any number of things in the world you have no other expertise in.

the number of folks who jumped to the worst possible interpretation of toni’s interview clips is quite concerning, too many people have let social media and purity culture just melt their brains… it’s one of the most gratuitous & gross examples of toxic online discourse culture i’ve seen in awhile

Thanks. Yes, that's what I was trying to say, but took too long to get there. Our politics community is strong, and I'd love for us to expand into new communities. Science and sports have already taken off. Birding, gardening, K-pop, we're open to all (except nazis and jerks).

The conversation about AI in health stuff is always about the risks of patients using AI. I'm more worried about possibilities like every appointment gets inspected by an insurance company in detail so that if a patient uses the slightly wrong words about something their care is denied.

welp, i found my first vulnerability in a major software platform today… bb’s first vulnerability report!!

why isn't there a weekly atproto podcast called CAR Talk

the title is hyperbolic, but this video actually paints bluesky in a decent light relative to X, and the comments section is quite illuminating and praising of bluesky

what happened and why is bluesky doing COVID discourse out of the blue?

break no mistakes. do a make through

we went from “LLMs can’t count letters or perform basic math” to them doing mathematical breakthroughs that are causing mathematicians to feel existential dread in such a short period

i want my harness to light up like a mood ring depending on the perplexity score of the foregrounded session following well-trodden paths and reusing common CRUD patterns? soothing blues hot-patching the running kernel and challenging centuries-old mathematics results? dangerous red/yellow tones

Agree v. strongly. Social media is beyond “lagging indicator” for this kind of thing; it’s fully out of phase. Notice that ppl are still using the socials to express hard feelings about woke in 2019 and lockdowns in 2020! +

AI culture war in leftist/progressive circles has been incredibly bad for the past 2 years, and it still is not great, but i’ve seen real evidence we’re moving to a place of better understanding/respect/policy so lets not succumb to doomerism social media makes it seem a lot worse than it really is

picked up some new used books today and traded in some old ones, read a few of these on audiobook in years gone by and wanted a physical copy bottom row was a weird bundle of vintage maze puzzle books with whacky themes like “great disasters” or “horror” and “meteoroids”

i’ve been posting about AI discourse too much for my liking the past week, so i’m going to make a concerted effort to post about other things more again… i go through spurts like this which is natural/fine, but i don’t wanna live here for very long got some new used books today, will post shortly
