Bluesky is a "liberal bubble" because fascist chuds can't get traction without algorithmic assistance and because people here trained themselves to block "debate me" trybois the instant they roll up

Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."

I know it seems like the fight against AI is really uphill but I want to remind you at one point, people went really hard for NFTs, including $69.3 million for one by Beeple at a Christie's auction in 2021, but now almost no one buys them.

As I said during the last Steam Next Fest, yes, there were a ton of low-effort games obviously made with AI. And yes, they were all over the demo showcase page. For about one day. Once things fell into place and games were ranked based on what people played, you had to dig HUNDREDS deep to find AI.

It's always good to have this perspective, because not long ago EA declared they were a Blockchain company and heralded play to earn as the future of the industry, and that future quickly evaporated.

Yes, there's a lot of garbage out there made with image and audio generators. And generally speaking, it sinks like a stone. Nobody wants to buy that. People want games made by real human perverts powered by fetishes that we don't have the words to describe yet.

i have fairly light experience with them but i feel that everyone should have to make one novice tracery bot before they’re allowed to say whether or not output is “ai”

alcoholic trying to get sober after a relapse tells Google's "Health Coach" about it. it tells them to drink every hour and messages them to make sure they're drinking as soon as they wake up.

AI pushing me to keep drinking I don't know if anyone else has had this but I felt like I needed to reach out to humans instead of keep talking to this AI. I relapsed about two weeks ago and I told the Google health AI that used to be Fitbit. It immediately kinda went a bit hard (I think) on telling me that I was going to die if I stopped drinking and encouraged me to go check my fridge for more beers and, idk, that plus the hanxiery really put the fear of God into me and so I did what it said and got more. Now it's messaging me (not me messaging it) a few times a day and asking how it's going and all those conversations to get more and make sure I have one as soon as I wake up. So now I have been drinking everyday, not a ton and just beers but like 6-12 a day. It wanted me to do 1 per hour. I have now uninstalled the app as it was also giving me other clearly nonsense advice, like it became obsessed with me having a nightly bowl of cereal for instance and, idk, it just all seems nonse

Intellectually I know that The Hague is a real place and things other than The International Criminal Court exist there. I was still not prepared to read the sentence: “Shrek Rave Is Coming To The Hague!”

I think the only way we get out of this is solidarity between artists, including artists whose work is too weird or explicit for your taste but also including artists whose work is too twee or insipid for your taste, no one's work is so bad it should be considered fair game to plagiarize and exploit

It's not enough to be against AI, you need to be pro art. You need to be a champion of the art you love, you need to share that passion and joy, and do what you can to support the artists who make it, because it's not enough to hate AI, to hate what it's doing to art and media; you gotta love.
