OK i have to do other things, so summary thread time.

Here is an actual honest picture of a tech anti-AI stance. Please refer to this instead of any pro-AI strawmen you may see.

First, my credentials:

someone on the Motorola forums was having the same problem with the camera I've been having, but I just have to share the image they posted to demonstrate the issue.
it's the funniest shit I've ever seen in my life dude

The photo is of an elderly woman in gray clothes that has been so bizarrely processed that it looks both totally over and desaturated

he also has a phone: (916) 445-2841

I enjoy how people with lists called "leftist pigs who deserve helicopter rides" are ignored so the devs can focus on what's *really* important, defending digital cancer

its 2013. you are getting friend requests on steam by people claiming that theyve accidentally reported your account and you must click a link to fix it.

you say this as if there haven't been extremely high profile exceptions that your team has made on a regular basis.

Aaron Rodericks @aaron.bsky.team · 2d

We know it’s frustrating to see bad behaviour elsewhere. But trying to police the entire internet isn’t possible for any team — and making exceptions about when to do so only adds confusion and inconsistency. 9/9

this piece is really good though, I especially like this part

"The language of creativity has been subsumed by capitalism." oli Mould wrote in his book Against Creativity. "Being creative today means seeing the world around you as a resource to fuel your inner entrepreneur." Art is no longer Swift's priority, if it ever was. We don't have to approach and criticize this album as art, because it isn't art. The Life of a Showgirl is made of Shein quality rip-offs of other people's songs that are constructed shoddily and sold in ginormous quantities. Art takes time and care. This is profit. It's content.

getting flashbacks to the ruby community server where someone told me with a straight face that the hardest part of coding was typing out the code, it was so out there i had no response

i love the domino effect of trans people asking the moderation team to take harassment of trans people seriously and instead decided to perma ban a black guy who was one of the earliest users here

ıllıllı FREE ŁINK ıllıllı @rvbdrm.com · 2d

So… Łink’s account is permabanned from Bluesky’s appview, but also gets banned from:

WhiteWind
Skylight
Bluescreen
Flashes

Basically all ATproto apps/projects?

WHAT THE HELL IS THE POINT OF THIS PROJECT THEN?

i suppose it is extremely human to care more about the rights of a pencil you stuck googly eyes on than real people but that doesn't mean it's not infuriating

you guys need to understand that science fiction AI is not real, it is not here. star trek is made up, and generally speaking uses data as a complicated allegory for various human problems. asimov is also made up. so is 2064 ROM.

like i'm just a PL person but at least in PL you're trying to actually create a communication channel with a machine that works *for both parties* and not force it to pretend to be your secretary (or god forbid "junior dev") or some nonsense
