Emperor Abby (the first pope)@arobertswrites.com · 6h agoThe Hockey Yaoi deal plus the Popular YA novel deal plus the whole ai writing issue makes me think most people just want a story's themes to be spoon fed to them.

Well, I finally have confirmation that the movers are indeed coming tomorrow, so I guess this is really happening.
Like who the fuck cares that they’re burying Lindsay Graham? He died over a week ago. He hasn’t gotten any less dead.
Kate Moss@notthatkatemoss.bsky.social · last wk.Netanyahu AND Zelenskyy are in town, Lindsey’s being put to rest, Mitch McConnell is nowhere to be found, and THIS is what’s trending? 👀
But I’ve been assured by the political science department at BlueSky University that Beshear is abdicating his duties and responsibilities if he doesn’t do this performative and counterproductive thing!

Cannot get over how electable just drifting away from a constituent who asked you a challenging question makes you.
Tons of peoples' Claude chats are exposed on Google. Cryptocurrency keys, API keys, login credentials, legal discussions, more. This happened with ChatGPT last year. And Claude too. There's clearly an ongoing issue with search engines indexing peoples' AI chats www.404media.co/tons-of-peop...

Claude users are creating public share links, but probably don't realize that means their chats are now ending up in Google searches where anyone can dig through them.

Spending the night randomly picking stories from these two pressmates and it’s just delight after delight. I mostly suck at short fiction. It’s so fun to see it done well @spencerfleury.bsky.social @badguybirnie.bsky.social
