Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

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.

Let's ask how the tourism industry likes those odds

Spooky! Treats! @sicktrees.bsky.social · 1d

I love that it's still going strong.
The best part is that I was able to discover non-US alternatives and they're all objectively better in quality, and some items are cheaper too!

Do I have it right that people who are trying to create digital slaves are telling other people not to use "eugenics language" toward computer programs

how about you care about actual fucking people on this planet before you start wondering if your toaster has a soul.

Once everyone materially demonstrates they care for all people on this planet and we deal WITH ALL THAT and all the animals too

then we can talk about your nonsense.

Last week, a cybertruck parked next to me while I was outside with pals and a tiny bald guy with oakleys and a bloatee got out, grabbed a tiny package from the cargo bed and went inside.

Man those panels on that truck are fucked up
