Mark Zuckerberg has a vision for how A.I. could be used in Meta's universe.

But the actor and filmmaker Joseph Gordon-Levitt is here to point out a flaw in the technology: an apparent lack of guardrails around how the company's chatbot interacts with underage users. nyti.ms/3ILwCNo

I am ok. watching someone you love so dearly go through something like this kind of prepares you. im just glad she is able to have the anatomy to decide for herself what she wanted.

Some people blocked me, probably because I was silent for weeks and then I came back asking in vain for donations and posting only depressing stuff instead of art. But that's how things are going. So... while I still have access to the internet, let's try posting an old artwork.

Black and white photo: a large standing stone carved with strange diagrams and indecipherable inscriptions around the bas-relief of a Lovecraftian creature with tentacles and four arms. There are four gentlemen dressed in early 20th-century clothing, one on the left climbing the stone, another leaning against the bas-relief and posing for the photo, and two younger men sitting on top of it. Digital photomontage and original sculpture by Andrea Bonazzi.

All who eulogize this person positively & all media outlets martyring him, including the CEO of this app, you all KNOW you could roll out a scroll's worth of quotes like this attributed to him. You KNOW he stoked violence. In honoring him you stoke more.

The rest of us now see how You think of us.

Ghost jobs are a real danger for people living paycheck to paycheck. Someone teetering on the edge of poverty may spend precious hours, transportation money, and emotional energy applying to positions that don’t exist or are already filled.

More than 80% of recruiters admit to posting ‘ghost jobs’ to juice their talent pool and business reputation

Companies are trying to improve their reputation at the detriment of job-seekers.

I think Silksong enjoyment is down to "do you think Blighttown is a good time?" 'Cause it's full of high pressure situations and funny "fuck you" surprises in difficult sequences and you either find those the most exhilarating parts of a game like this or they make you instantly uninstall.

"Bluesky is boring."

Social media *should* be boring. Being algorithm and dopamine poisoned is bad, actually.

When your feed dries up for the day, that's your cue to go do something else until new stuff shows up later.

It's still very rough and there's too much work and polish to be done, but I'm still happy because a couple of months ago I didn't even have that
