If social network algorithms & bots can break relationships and spread misinformation, imagine how cool it will be when AI lends more seven fingered hands!
If we've learned anything from the part of our history where we created the extremely powerful, world-changing, uncontrollable new technology of a social internet, it should be that whatever is about to happen with AI will, if nothing else, be extremely dumb.

@mattgelb.bsky.social: “Somewhere in a closet in Wheeler’s home, the rib he had removed during surgery sits in a case”

Does Bryce Harper and his doctors decide to grind that up and feed it to Andrew Painter now or is that before his first start?

We built a calculator that doesn't work, but don't worry, it's also a plagiarism machine that will tell you to kill yourself. It runs on the world's oceans and costs 10 trillion dollars.

Welcome to Bluesky: social media which isn’t owned by a lunatic who did the Nazi salute twice at today’s presidential nomination. The ol’ Twitter account is officially deleted now, but I’ll miss sneaking on during Philly sports to see full real time chatter. Post everything here pls, sports people!
