We really lost the plot. Somehow we forgot the lessons of our holy texts, Caddy Shack and Back to School, and gave the bully from the rich kid camp a billion dollars to invest in AI stocks.

Red Pandas may look cute and friendly, but get a half a beer in one and they are going to say a lot of weird things about how the US should embrace the Silver Standard.

Same exact dollar figure that was paid to attack @katmabu.bsky.social (Nobody ever found out who was paying for that campaign.) Gross, lazy and above all cynical shit.
I am pretty sure the castle freak rips off his ding dong.
James McLeod@jamespmcleod.ca · 2w agoIt's safe to assume that all major LLMs are scraping Bluesky data to train future models. As an open protocol, Bluesky is one of the few sources of fresh human-generated content that anybody can gobble up. So all this is probably going in the models.
