Man, The words of Zelda Williams the daughter of
Robin Williams...

Can you imagine getting sent AI slop of your dead father randomly though the day?

There is a lack of humanity that I can't quite put words to in this.

I don’t think ppl understand the whole “who cares if nobody likes it! make content for yourself” is extremely dismissive
Bc we ARE making the content for ourselves but it feels /bad/ when people don’t engage or show interest. You can care about both at the same time

Everyone in EU, UK or any US state with ID laws on the books [or even ones without them] should contact their representatives and mention this data breach specifically and [link the article if emailed]

Show them the actual, tangible results of all this digshit online ID legislation

Discord customer service data breach leaks user info and scanned photo IDs

An “unauthorized party” may have accessed the names of users, the last four digits of credit card numbers, and more.

Not to be the nerd-emoji kinda guy, but ads were especially intrusive in the 2000s, both visually as well as privacy wise, especially pre-GDPR. But I do get what you mean.

also like this may be true, but then why are you running a public social media service, you need much more than just "systems architects" for that, you cant just engineer away social problems. i feel like you should've learned that by now

Jay 🦋 @jay.bsky.team · 6d

We’re system architects at core. We built a decentralized network so you could run your own moderation, but beyond that our upcoming healthy discourse project is taking some swings at the interaction model that drives these dynamics on Bluesky. Excited to start seeing it in action.

I'm convinced that 90% of all photography/cinematography YouTubers are trust-fund kids with rich parents, but I can't prove it.

Kinda feel sad that I never got to properly use cohost before it shut down. I did have an account there, but only made like 1 post. :(
