Can you help?… I’m trying to find my people

I know there’s more space fans here… just not sure how to reach you

Feels weird to ask, but would you give me a signal boost by hitting share?

If you’re new… Hi I’m Cat, I make pretty picture of space 🥹 let’s connect if you like weird space art

I usually find it is a good idea to check their names both on wikipedia (for the 'official' story) and on rationalwiki for the more sensational leftwing story.

Yeah it is one of those bad think tanks, there are a lot of them around, and you eventually get to recognize the names (even if I get them a bit confused at times).

She is the COO en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chief_o... of bsky. This is worrying because after the 'we are turning waffles into an anti-trans thing' by the CEO the CEO started to follow a transphobe. Shows a pattern.

Wonder when we find out one of them follows the discovery institute.

Yeah, he thought that bringing up Marvel Movies Thanos was a good argument against the left. Because something something Thanos was a utilitarian (??).

(also shows he has not read the comics, where he is a nihilist and in love with the physical manifestation of death).

Can't quickly find something, did see lot of people complain about moderation first having a first pass done by some hive ai thing (which is normal for moderation, filtering out the horrors using a tool is important for moderators mental health, and iirc it uses ML normally), which got some people

I read they were trying to change something (I forgot what, there was some controversy about it, I'll see if I can get a link), so it is prob due to that. Somebody using vibe coding changing search for a few million users.

It even had several different ways you could die. (A quick google showed, fever due to undercooling due to rain, and failed harvest + harsh winter).

How many trillions of dollars have been invested into this technology so far?

Google search for "austria hungary in space"

Google excitedly tells you about the 1889 orbital flight, and that by 1908 there was a Mars research output with 30 people.

Kingdom come deliverance did something like this in the 'hardcore mode' I think. It said you died as a child before starting the game a high percentage of the times.

And I just want to reiterate this ( from a thread deep in replies). I started doing this work before any of these tools existed. The number of my contemporaries in the field who have died by suicide is NOT A SMALL NUMBER. The work is incredibly traumatizing.

As someone who was doing that human review of images before even PhotoDNA existed, I can testify that the amount of human suffering automated image classification prevents is MASSIVE. Like, I am the best case scenario of the human cost of that work and I still have lifelong consequences from it.

This is just the plastic straw hysteria all over again, and it's ableism at its finest: Blame disabled people instead of the corporations that are actually wrecking our environment, that way to poor widdle CEOs won't have to deal with people telling them to fucking STOP KILLING THE PLANET.

Well, you see, it is off by 9. Normally you would need 9 programmers making an off by one mistake for that. So this replaces 9 (8?) people.
