If this is what they are doing with the AI, what do you think they are doing with the much simpler and easier to control algorithm that chooses which posts you see and which of your posts are seen by others?

Wrote what I learned in my 1st day at @oredev.org

I attended sessions on:
- Synthetic Monitoring
- What testers are afraid to say
- Collective Risk Management

And More.

A magnificent piece of work. Comprehesive, revelatory & shocking. Journalism this good is always rare & precious but never moreso than at times like this. Latter day Lord Haw Haws being plumped, preened & delivered to your doorstep in plain sight by a Nazi-saluting goon

I feel the same way about flaky tests.

@jrosaproenca.bsky.social giving a great talk at @oredev.org

The McDonaldization of Friendship. Excellent metaphor being brought up by Lianne Potter @oredev.org about the dangers of AI "friends". It's fast, convenient, readily available and if you do it too often it will be bad for your health!

Loving the visuals at @oredev.org . Looking so forward to this!

I don’t see how anyone can hide behind the ”it’s not making her more money” or ”she’s just fighting for women” anymore.

No. She is hurting people. She’s using that money to hurt people. Stop lying to yourself.

I don’t care how much I loved those books. She is just pure hatred at this point.
A portion of every dollar spent on Harry Potter merchandise goes to anti-transgender campaigns.

Last night the straps on a 26 year old guitar bag I have for my Tele broke. Luckily I caught the guitar and no harm done.

I was looking for a new one online and I have no words for the review I just read...

I did it! It's October and I finished the list!
51 movies in my decades' old watchlist. Just watched one of them. I guess that's going to be my 2025 resolution. To bring it down to ZERO!

I just saw someone use the abbreviation “AI;DR” and I’ll be laughing for a while.

I have a feeling that this event is going to be awesome! I will be speaking about Synthetic Monitoring at @oredev.org ! See you there?

I'm baffled how Google Meet still doesn't show the event name from Google Calendar inside the meeting. Because who wouldn't want to play the thrilling game of 'Guess if I'm in the right meeting' while hopping between tabs?! 🙃

Saw this talk yesterday at Targeting Quality 25 and it gave me a lot to think about regarding guardrails for AI systems, by @jigyasa-grover.bsky.social and @rishabh-misra.bsky.social
Definitely recommend for anyone interested!

This is a massive, history making abuse of your power. It will define your legacy and one day you will come to regret punishing free speech and trying to destroy democracy.

There is so much GamerGate energy in American politics and culture today. I’d never have guessed that was going to be the blueprint for what living in America would be like in 2025.

This: "It is bleak to even be calling Kirk’s death “political violence” at this juncture, before authorities have even found the shooter."

Might be the best point I've heard so far. Great job.

Been diving into AI-driven disinfo lately. Feels like the world splits in two: some fear the biggest threat is making people believe events that never happened; others worry more about emotional spins - like portraying leaders as superheroes. Still not sure what my own opinion is though...
