The best part about this joke is that non-native Spanish speakers make gender concordance mistakes all the time but the reason JLo gets clowned for it is because she has a reputation for being awful to people 😂😂😂

Also it’s a lot easier to blame “the algorithm” than “what people enjoy watching”, because the former suggests there an easy or quick fix and the latter…doesn’t. bsky.app/profile/jim....
Mayor of London Sadiq Khan says London Centric's investigation shows the need for greater regulation of the algorithms on sites such as TikTok to stop "bad faith actors spreading hate for clicks".

"Accounts are talking London down because the algorithms reward them for doing so," he says.

People often jump to saying online propaganda is either the work of radicalised actors, or else Russia.

In practice, it’s amazing how often the answer is much simpler – someone is chasing either (a) clout, (b) money, or (c) both.
Hate-filled fake videos about London are everywhere. We've obtained a recording of a TikToker confessing to secretly filming Londoners in their homes for clicks.

He says it's not political. He just wants to make money from far-right anger.

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work.

1 ) Use generative AI tools to produce code, docs, presentations, emails, Slack messages
2) Use AI tools to summarize the overwhelming amount of content generated by AI tools
3) No one knows anything because everyone is feeding knowledge to and taking knowledge from AI tools
4) Profit???
Given the current trajectory, a job in the tech industry may eventually require the use of generative AI tools, no different than being forced to learn and use a computer, email, or coffee maker if it's determined to maximize profits.

Unfortunately, quality takes a back seat to profit.

“People are not meant to be in service to the protocol - the protocol is in service to the people”

I *love* seeing people understand why Blacksky is just fundamentally different from everything else.

Beautifully said.
This is important for the way it both does and does not use all of atproto -

People are not meant to be in service to the protocol - the protocol is in service to the people.

Translation and transformation - community boundaries - these things aré important

They’re also forgetting that decentralization has no value on its own. The purpose of decentralization is *against* oppressive structures. If a community agrees on an implementation that works for the community, that’s good for them!

The protocol is not more important than the people.

It’s alarming how often I’ve seen people on here viciously reacting to a headline without reading the article, the full context of which is nothing like the headline.

READ or hush.
I want ya’ll to read more. Read. Thoroughly. Then comprehend what you’ve read. Ponder it critically.

One thing you will never think after reading a great book or listening to a great album or seeing a great piece of art is, “I’m really glad this person remained cautious while they were making this and guarded against being perceived as weird.”
