There was a time when leaders fought beside their soldiers. Now they sit behind desks discussing interior design while soldiers die, paying no price for their decisions.
I don’t think conservative media is stupid. They are quite smart and probably don’t believe everything they peddle. They know there’s good money in keeping their crowd entertained. Post bait, skip the fact-checking, and cash in without wasting hours on research, writing and editing.
Forgot how clean the Australian air is, how high quality the food and how safe it is to walk around or use public transport. 🦘
Fostering an abused dog is probably the most fulfilling thing I’ll be doing my entire life.
The more advanced AI gets, the more human Zuckerberg looks.
I miss my dog. Has anyone been through serious heartbreak related to their pets? What have you done to cope? I feel like my life will always be missing my little girl.
Government datasets are being deleted. But don’t worry, the internet never forgets - especially when you wish it would.
Celebrating the new year at the big canyon. Happy (belated) 2025.
Ironically, the Tesla Optimus humanoid robot walks like Joe Biden.
You still have to be a human to understand pareidolia, gestalt principles, anamorphosis, etc. You can train AI with many such images but it’ll still be a cheap representation of the human experience.
Checked my junk mail after a while. Turns out I’m a Bitcoin billionaire. Just need to wire some money to cover admin fees. It’s legit - they promised.
Now that Elon Musk owns the president, has data from cars, space, humanoid robots, twitter etc. will he wreck big tech and become the final boss?
For anyone wondering about inflation in old school Casio watches - this one watch I had bought in 2012 is worth about 33% more. This means if you had invested $100 in Casio watches in 2012 you would still be poor today.
Remember when Biden said he wouldn’t pardon Hunter? Meanwhile Jared Kushner’s criminal father that was pardoned by Trump gets to eats baguettes. 🥖
This pug is Vito and he won the 23rd National Dog show. All the dogs he beat to get first prize are in the second picture.
Sometimes I imagine an Excel power-user stacking linear transformations with a non-linear activation and unknowingly building a neural network. Legend.
I miss the old USA, when Black Friday was about showing gratitude by body-slamming a stranger for a $10 toaster. Simpler times.
Happy thanksgiving! 🦃 On this momentous occasion feel free to remind your uncle that the pilgrims were immigrants that needed a handout.
Tech companies, scammers, insurance agencies, Walmart, Russia already have all your Bluesky data. I think this was understood when you post in public. Regulation won’t help, it’ll only make data concentrate in unethical companies outside the USA or in sectors with lobbyists.
Bluesky@bsky.app · 2y agoFor example, this might look like a setting that allows Bluesky users to specify whether they consent to outside developers using their content in AI training datasets Bluesky won’t be able to enforce this consent outside of our systems. It will be up to outside developers to respect these settings
The Bluesky CEO’s name means ‘Blue Sky’ in Chinese. At first, I tried translating Jay Graber, but their Mandarin name is Lantian—literally ‘blue sky.’ I guess this is a case of nominative determinism. Good morning, by the way.
Norfolk Island is a tiny Australian territory in the Pacific Ocean. They celebrate Thanksgiving because of the American whalers who came and promoted the holiday. They just rocked up and said ‘you know what this place needs? turkey and gratitude.’

What outdoor activities can someone do during winter that isn’t snowboarding?
Do people not have a home coffee before also getting the outside coffee?
Jen (ESC) 🇨🇦❤️@smil3yangel.bsky.social · 2y agoI don't understand people who leave their home in the morning to go get coffee. How do you manage to get out of bed, get dressed, and make it to the coffee shop without caffeine? 🤔😂
Did you know Matt Gaetz’s wife, Ginger Gaetz is Palmer Luckey’s sister? Palmer makes lethal drones for a living. #mattgaetz
