For all that the media has spent years freaking out about what social media does to our brains, I don’t understand why there appears to be little effort to grapple with the fact that these chatbots are, for some not insignificant portion of the population, literally psychosis machines
He put his complete trust in a chat bot that turned him into a savage murderer.

I feel a little bad whenever I see an AI "artist" talking about having their AI prompts stolen, because the rocket full of people I'm going to shoot into the sun is already packed WAY over cargo capacity.

Some of you might know this story, but someone requested it as a reply to this thread, so I'll do that.
What you should know about me is that I've always had trouble with airport security, especially in the United States. I have 7 very Arabic names, and I travel a lot around the entire planet.

The Dodo discussed its no AI stance with this video and talked about how to spot AI animal videos.
What's interesting about the AI video (beyond what they bring out) is that everyone's body language, young, old, man, woman, is identical. They're digital puppets.

This is a really good point that I had not run into before: these "creators" have no further insight into their alleged creation than the average audience member and that is why it cannot be called art (besides all the other obvious reasons).

So welcome, Twitter refugees! This is *way* better.

Welcome, Twitter escapees/new Bluesky users. Four quick tips:
1. Starter packs are awesome. I made a game dev one here -> go.bsky.app/RxQCsKS
2. Bluesky's block is much more potent. Do not quote, or dunk. There's no pay-to-win so silence does remove nasty people. Blocks and move on copiously.
