The US government would never lose something as important as records about Amelia Earhart in paperclips. They take them very seriously and even put a great deal of effort into acquiring them at the end of WW2.

I think they added me because I posted that Charlie Kirk should have died in a boring way so no one would talk about him. Incredible!

I'm not sure what you're trying to say here. Maybe I'm a dumb dumb but that paper seems to be about how transformers build belief networks.

It was a conspiracy between Biden and his secret supporter Wilbur Ross. It took decades of pretending to be the kind of amoral profiteer that would appeal to Trump, but it had the exact intended impact: The 2020 census was a little too woke for a Republican with the memory of a goldfish.

With all the horrors happening everywhere to trans people, it's incredibly easy to see why so many trans people are either as you describe or deeply ironic and irreverent. I think some people mistake those traits as what leads to transition instead of what happens to a group under constant threat.

He already cut your federal funding. You can stop being cowards and actually say what is happening now. Go ahead, give it a try. You might find you enjoy being respected for a change.

Realistically, it should mean the power delivered to the data center. I have been under the impression it is the power draw of each GPU (probably inclusive of memory and everything else on the board), so something like 500W for a GB100 die or 300W for an Epyc CPU.

I genuinely hope that you soon understand why everyone finds it so insulting to compare hating ChatGPT with bigotry in a time where real bigotry is harming and killing real people in soul-shattering numbers.

Just because ML models are too complex for us to fully understand how they work means nothing for claiming they have any thoughts or understanding.

More so, we still don't have AI. We have just used that term for LLMs even though they absolutely do not have intelligence.

You can just subscribe to a labeler and pretend like bigots aren't still able to reach the vast majority of users! The true power of the AT protocol is that it allows Bluesky to believe that their moderation can be capricious since users can just find moderators they prefer.

Jordan @jordanclock.bsky.social · 5d

You absolutely can and should shame and disapprove of Bluesky for failing to remove known bigots from their social network. They signed up for this the moment they decided to operate their own server and app on the AT protocol. No one forced that on them.

Jordan @jordanclock.bsky.social · 5d

As long as you are the dominant server and app on the network, it is your responsibility. Your inability to administer and moderate Bluesky only serves to prevent others from developing the AT protocol network towards the decentralization you claim to be your goal. Stop posting.

Jordan @jordanclock.bsky.social · 5d

I don't care what they promised. I care about the reality, which is that Bluesky is *the* dominant server on the AT protocol network and *the* dominant app to access that server. Like I originally said, they're beyond being able to use federation as a defence. That ship has sailed.

Jordan @jordanclock.bsky.social · 5d

They can stop it, though. They ban people all the time, but they selectively allow people like Singal to stay on.

We can't make an app that stops others from posting to Bluesky. We can only filter them out downstream in an app or a federated server.

Jordan @jordanclock.bsky.social · 5d

I'm saying that you're describing features built into the Bluesky app already. They don't stop bigotry at the source and rely on users to know how to filter it out.

Jordan @jordanclock.bsky.social · 5d

No, they absolutely have not given us the tools. Other servers could choose to apply their own moderation, but that's basically like using block/mute lists. Bigots will still be visible to the vast majority of users. Bluesky's moderation failures poison the entire system.

Jordan @jordanclock.bsky.social · 6d

Bluesky also needs to come to terms with the fact that Bluesky and the AT protocol are one and the same. They can't hide behind just being engineers or that Bluesky is just one application for the protocol. Any potential "decentralization" is a nice-to-have at this point, not a defence.

Jordan @jordanclock.bsky.social · 6d

I hope one day you enjoy being perceived because you deserve the praise for making such good decisions about your appearance!

Jordan @jordanclock.bsky.social · 6d

They're all engineers trying to do PR and proving exactly why every other company doesn't let their engineers do that.

Girl that dress looks amazing on you!

Jordan @jordanclock.bsky.social · 8d

Dude. It's so October.

Jordan @jordanclock.bsky.social · 9d

Nah, it's just regurgitating the tweet back at them. The Engadget part is extra funny because their article is just saying Marisa posted this on Bluesky without any other corroboration or anything.

Jordan @jordanclock.bsky.social · 10d

You could get so many people to listen just by saying it's the time period for Expedition 33's whole aesthetic.

Jordan @jordanclock.bsky.social · 11d

Do you think there's someone on his team that removes or covers all mirrors wherever he goes so he doesn't get stuck talking to "the second smartest and good-looking guy I've ever met"?

Jordan @jordanclock.bsky.social · 11d

Worse, he only actually values the equivalent of marketing and tallying performance, not the results. Politics are Mad Libs with a correct, immutable script and we can only insert nouns or verbs into the approved slots. Laughs and lives are irrelevant, only the form matters.
