an interesting note re: scaling image moderation. in the past 24 hours:

at least 500 thousand images in posts (not considering # of images, just if an image was in the post)
86 thousand avatars
500 thousand url thumbnails
58 thousand videos.

that's a lot to moderate!

A tweet from @vx-underground from 2 hours ago

"Chat, we are cooked

Discord is being extorted by the people who compromised their Zendesk instance

They've got 1.5TB of age verification related photos. 2,185,151 photos

tl;dr 2.1m Discord users drivers license and/or passport might be leaked. Unknown number of e-mails"

I, for one, am happy that at least the AI is looking at my photos.

if you post your content on _any_ serious social media site on the entire internet in 2025, there is going to be ai moderation used to moderate that content. if you don't want this, go and participate in mybb forum with 500 users.

We’re looking at them for @eurosky.social and I think some of these tools would make excellent additions to the bsky lexicon.

Let’s enjoy the last year of internet videos that we have.

Sora is not the real problem here. The real problem is that in 12, at most 24 months, there will be a Sora clone from Tencent or Alibaba that is just as good and can be run by anybody with a 5099, at which point everyone in society needs to rapidly agree to treat all digital video as fake, period.

First, we find a big boat.

Second? We get it stuck in a canal.
