There's fucking yaoi art on a train by my house I'm fucking losing my mind, this rules so much

Anime styled graffiti art on a train car depicting a male demon looking seductively at another man while saying "That's a good boy", with the phrase "kiss yr homies goodnight" in the bottom left corner.
Artist seems to be "Akira BPD"

What stage of victim-blaming capitalism is this

Of course they admit the REAL problem at the end after blaming people who have trouble breathing for *checks notes* being responsible for not being able to breathe

I am not saying that machine learning moderation models are perfect or never make mistakes -- they obviously do -- but they do so at a much lower rate than human beings *in certain areas*, and running a ML model to classify all images is significantly less biased than human reporting.

People once again need to internalize that "generative AI" is a small subset of machine learning, that machine learning is a critical tool that you cannot run a site without past a certain volume Bluesky has long since exceeded, and that it is FAR more reliable than user reporting.

re: that one post I made about spotify, which evidently resonated because people keep bringing it back

I think it's cool that people still pass around that post I wrote about how paid streaming services don't actually directly pay musicians all that much compared to the cut they take, but I kind of hate that people interpreted that stance as "you're robbing from artists if you don't cough up directly"

like the actual point there was more that, if you're paying for streaming services because you assume they're inherently the moral high road over piracy (because you're spending money and the pirates aren't), you're paying for a good feeling and not much else

piracy is morally neutral, there is no moral weight to not spending money, spotify spent its majority cut of your subscription money on the development of military drones to terrorise people just like you in cities you'll never hear the names of, so on so forth

This would single-handedly transform the lives of everyone I know in such profound ways it is difficult to fully articulate, but it would also let us actually make more and different and crazy things

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Really want to encourage libraries - especially school libraries - to put no-AI content into your collection development policy. At the very least, if you have a clause in there about requiring accurate information, you can use that to weed out or prevent genAI purchases.

Jack Tripper @chadstanton.blacksky.app · 2d

“When you get a suspicious book, “you look it up to see what else the [author] has written. And you see there's 30 things, and none of them have any reviews, and they were all written in the last two years,” DeMeester-Lane says.”

How Local Librarians Keep AI Slop Off the Shelves

AI is being used to create nonsensical, sometimes dangerously inaccurate books. Local librarians are tasked with keeping these volumes out of their collections.
