Ugh. Let's hope this is just a mistake from @bsky.app's moderation team, and not a genuine ban. Pretty wild that the second most popular labeler can just go poof in an instant tho. Not sure this bode well for this platform.

"I don't care that he's dead." "He's not a hero." "He's a scumbag." "He shouldn't be celebrated." No, no. I'm not saying that about Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk said that about George Floyd. Just in case anyone's interested in what he thought was fair to say about someone who was killed on camera.

I was next to (one of) the AI slop booths at DragonCon and all I got was this lousy t-shirt. So, as you may or may not know, there was a booth selling AI slop images printed on acrylic panels at DragonCon. They were in booth a-10. I was in a-11. Here’s what happened from my perspective.

✏️ Happy Labor Day! 🖌️ Did you know that AI “art” is labor theft? Hi. I’m a professional traditional artist of over 15 years & I was able to make a decent living until 3 years ago. In May 2023, over 50 of my paintings had been scraped without my consent to fuel AI image generators like Midjourney.

I was trying to debug why I haven't been able to log in to my Capital One account for a while now. Spent some time to debug it. Turns out, it's just another case of the Internet of Shit. Wondering if some AI hallucinated a URL there.

A screenshot of the Chrome debugger showing that during the login flow, it's hitting the URL https://verified.capitalone.com/signincontroller-web/signincontroller/signin which ends up returning 404, which very likely got hallucinated by an AI when some programmer (derogatory) decided to help justify their promotion package at some point.

I keep hearing that genAI is going to "revolutionize game design" so I've been doing some research into what kinds of games are using genAI as part of gameplay - that is, games where players provide some kind of input that is interpreted by an LLM like ChatGPT which then provide real-time responses.
