LiteralGrill - Assigned Porn At Birth By Bluesky's Shitty AI @literalgrill.com · Oct 17

Since we got a bunch of new folks checking out BlueSky, here's a little bit #AboutMe! I'm a cool person to follow if you like #anime, #VHS, #BoardGames, and care about #Disablility justice.

Looking forward to meeting even more cool people on here!

About Borealis AKA LiteralGrill (She/Her)

Just call me Allie! I'm an award winning author and poet mostly writing essays about anime these days. I'm also big on board games, VHS tapes, LaserDiscs, and other weird old media formats.

You might remember me for my esports writing for Smash Bros. or Vainglory or that time I spent as as president of the Furry Writers' Guild.

I'm a trans cripple and a and a fierce fighter for all marginalized people. Covid isn't over and I mask up to keep myself and others safe.

When I'm not watching anime you've never heard of, I'm likely visibly mending my clothes so they can last forever and look punk as fuck! !

Yes, I'm a certified Hentai Master, ask me about it!

And yes, I did watch Groundhog Day that many times!

tlhIngan maH taHjaj - Conduct yourself with honor!

No social media space since the invention of the smart phone is a haven. They're labs for commerce. Go hang out in your friend's shitty apartment.

ICE must be destroyed 🏳️‍⚧️🏴 @miawong.bsky.social · 22h

Literally they've shot two people in Chicago alone, we're all unbelievably fortunate the woman they shot last fucking weekend survived

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Vicky ACAB @vickyacab.bsky.social · 22h

I know there's a lot to keep up with but someone has ALREADY been killed by ICE in Chicago, its not a theoretical question, and folks are dying in ICE detention and being disappeared constantly, when you say "someone's gonna get killed" youre actually washing the blood from their hands 😘✌️

At some point you gotta stop just assigning blame and DO.

S/o to @msolurin.bsky.social who I often hear say, "Okay, but what are WE gonna do?"

You're not powerless. You're not helpless. And you can start wearing a mask TODAY. You can just start doing it.

From River: See Joy’s post below. She will not be returning to Bluesky as a result of their draconian policies towards Palestinian accounts. In accordance with her decision, I will no longer be crossposting her work here.

I've seen two people offering to fully pay all of the bill for Fediverse instances ran by, and for, groups that are not well represented on the Fediverse.

If any BIPOC followers I've got might be interest, let me help connect you. We got volunteers to help with getting things running too.

Rudy wants revolution. @rude1.blacksky.team · 1d

I hear and see your concerns. Over the weekend, a couple users hosted on Blacksky's PDS were banned from the Bluesky app and thus the Bluesky API servers. This was a weakness of our system I've been aware of and hoped we had more time to address before any kind of public incident. 1/11

There's no way I can prove something similar will happen. Just like, legit you should consider there's a solid chance it could. Which 100% blows. But it's better to keep it in mind than be surprised if something goes down.

Alright though, in all seriousness, disabled folks should be very careful what they upload here if they're in the US.

Facebook has freely helped the government get people kicked off of disability benefits due to selfies posted of them "looking too healthy" and if Hive is funded by the feds? Well...

Look, I get this, but with how much AI companies have lied about such things, I too would like to see some sort of concrete proof.

And maybe also, have a statement on why more work isn't being done for disabled people like me aren't considered pornographic.

everyone on bluesky is public. everything is being scraped by the slop farm companies regardless of bluesky's involvement, and even if bluesky wasn't so public, it'd still be illegally scrapped anyway. not everyone internalizes that

but when you KNOW how people (artists the most) feel about AI? wyd

bluesky is not the product, bluesky users are not the product, it’s the code that is the product. the ability to set up your own independent bluesky. which does not exist. so there is no product

Bluesky must provide clear and direct evidence that Hive is NOT used for AI generation. Firm proof. Otherwise this is literally just xAI all over again

WHAT ARE YOU DOING MAN

bluesky official posts from november 2024:

A number of artists and creators have made their home on Bluesky, and we hear their concerns with other platforms training on their data. We do not use any of your content to train generative AI, and have no intention of doing so.

Bluesky uses AI internally to assist in content moderation, which helps us triage posts and shield human moderators from harmful content. We also use AI in the Discover algorithmic feed to serve you posts that we think you’d like.

None of these are Gen AI systems trained on user content.

I’ve been saying this for a minute now, this site is Blue Twitter

It’s Twitter if it was libbed up and ran by a very small team. Emphasis on libbed up, not leftie

Frances Larina @franceslarina.bsky.social · 1d

At some point people will have to accept that we really wanted Bluesky to be a haven from Twitter, but it is not. It was projection, possible only b/c mods were quiet.

Ana Valens | 🔞 | Announcements Only @acvalens.net · 1d

This is why Bluesky needs a dedicated PR team. Every problem Bluesky has dealt with since December would be solved by hiring even just one PR person

A great way to turn the temp down here as @jay.bsky.team @pfrazee.com and @aaron.bsky.team want would be to stop communicating site policies and practices with individual users or on their timelines and hire a comms person who is a professional communicator to do all the front facing interaction.

Anyways, if a member of the press might like to ask for some transparency on what Hive is doing to prevent disabled people from being marked as pornographic for an article...

You can contact them here: [email protected]

I'd do it, but AI took my news writing job from me. Ironic, ain't it?

LiteralGrill - Assigned Porn At Birth By Bluesky's Shitty AI @literalgrill.com · 1d

See, they hope we'll have to sue Hive instead of them when all this plays out. That's why they're throwing their hands up like they got nothing to do with it. 👍

Hive ai is "doing their best" and look, I would honestly try and actually believe that, I really REALLY would, no sarcasm, if I didn't see this being such a common thing that staff here acted like it wasn't even worth considering.

Our Ethics Policy From thehive.ai
We live in an exciting era of artificial intelligence. As technology continues to evolve rapidly and as we explore new territory, ethics becomes extremely important. AI has the potential to drastically improve all of our lives, however, it also has the potential to do harm. At Hive, we recognize that it is our responsibility to be transparent about our processes and ensure that AI is used for good. We've decided to outline our core set of principles to set the foundation for our company as we continue to learn and grow:
We will:
1
Use AI for social good. We will never exploit vulnerable populations or work with companies whose values do not align with ours. AI should never be used to do harm.
2
Acknowledge the importance of diversity and avoid reinforcing bias. We will always do our best to remove prejudice from our data sets including, but not limited to, characteristics such as race, ethnicity, gender, SES, sexual orientation, ability, and political or religious belief.
3
Be transparent. We will be open about what our technology does and how we come up with our solutions. Our customers should know what we’re doing for them.
4
Provide educational tools for the public. As AI becomes more prevalent in our world, everyone should have access to education about the technology and be able to adapt to the transformations that AI will create.

We understand that ethics evolves over time and we will make amendments to our principles accordingly. We will solve visual intelligence problems for enterprises without compromising on our values or standards. As we continue to improve AI technologies, we will share what we learn along the way and encourage others to join in on the conversation.

Your homework is to learn about the two Bills in DC thehive.ai is actively supporting on their website and to decide how you feel about them.

You need to know what you're supporting by saying Bluesky should use these folks to moderate. I wont tell you how to feel about them.

LiteralGrill - Assigned Porn At Birth By Bluesky's Shitty AI @literalgrill.com · 1d

Anyways, did you know that the AI moderation force behind Bluesky is funded by the fucking "Department of War" in the US?

www.technologyreview.com/2024/12/05/1...

The US Department of Defense is investing in deepfake detection

It has signed a contract with startup Hive AI worth $2.4 million over two years.

As porn is being pushed to be illegal everywhere in the US, wouldn't it be convenient to a government of eugenics lovers if they could enforce a virtual version of the Ugly Laws?

I'm sure Federally funded thehive.ai would NEVER have this built in feature, I mean, bug though! Right?
