Let me be very clear:
If I see ANY use of generative AI on my Bluesky feed, I will be bullying the GenAI user until one of us blocks the other.
I will NOT welcome GenAI use on this website. GenAI belongs on Twitter, where it can play with Elon's pet Mechahitler.

The idea that changing a definition to include criticism of Israel as being anti-Semitic and cracking down even further on anti-genocide protests would have in any way made anyone safer is madness. That the Coalition have so comprehensively jumped to blame here is insanity. Who is this speaking to?

We’ve talked about the Australian social media ban that went into effect last week, how dumb it is, and why it’s already a mess. But late last week, some additional news broke that makes the whole thing even more grotesque: turns out the campaign pushing hardest for the ban was run by an ad agency that makes gambling ads.

You can tell how cool and good AI is because every time someone announces they're using it they have to immediately rush to disclaim that actually they're only using it a LITTLE bit, just the tiniest bit, not even THAT much really. The future of art is here, and it's measured in acceptable ppm
"I didn’t say we use it to develop concept art" just to make reference, get ideas from and outline composition lmao
just 90% of what concept is🤣

I genuinely thought the LLM / AI thing would blow over as soon as anyone pointed out it was based on piracy and had no viable business plan. That we’re still talking about it, betting on it, is gobsmacking. It should be the Tamagotchi craze of our decade. It should be Pogs by now.

It seems there are exactly two kinds of stories about generative AI:
1) wildly exuberant stories about what this stuff will do sometime really soon (trust us!), and
2) stories like this about how some actual use of gen AI fails fantastically
oh, wait, I forgot:
3) gen AI is pretty good at fraud

“Internal tests found that the AI was generating podcasts riddled with errors and bias, with anywhere between 68 and 84 percent of the scripts deemed unpublishable by evaluators across three rounds of testing.”

Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->
By a vote of 76-23, S 1071 passes the motion to proceed to the motion to concur. Won't know who voted for this until the roll call is uploaded, but safe to say it passed with the support of at least 24 members of the Democratic caucus. (Rand Paul probably voted nay and Steve Daines has been absent).

- a lack of political repression of academics & students
- public support for Palestine
- anti genocide protestors saying "from the river to the sea"
