I love how @sonicinternet.bsky.social claims that my house is covered, especially with AT&T fiber already present, and some neighbors already subscribed with them, and that they are "Planning" my request for connection since March.
Doesn't really bode well for their actual service...

Ugh. Let's hope this is just a mistake from @bsky.app's moderation team, and not a genuine ban.
Pretty wild that the second most popular labeler can just go poof in an instant tho. Not sure this bode well for this platform.

Hey all 👋 we saw that @aimod.social has been suspended. We don’t know why at this point, but we’ve appealed the suspension and requested more information.
I’ll update when I know more. Thank you for your patience! 🩵

"He's a scumbag."

No, no. I'm not saying that about Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk said that about George Floyd.
Just in case anyone's interested in what he thought was fair to say about someone who was killed on camera.

Donc la France "exprime sa vive émotion" pour la mort d'un sac à merde nazi qui appelait à lapider les homosexuels et faisait l'apologie de l'esclavage, qui réclamait que les les hommes soient propriétaires des femmes et que les exécutions capitales soient diffusées en direct dans les écoles.

The best anti-AI post I've seen in a while is bsky.app/profile/ques...
It perfectly describes what AI agents will never be able to replace: silliness and quirks. Our urge to just go derp sometimes. That's what makes us unique. That's what makes us irreplicable and irreplaceable.

Scary time time to be an artist. Coping with cute noodles and humor.

I was next to (one of) the AI slop booths at DragonCon and all I got was this lousy t-shirt.
So, as you may or may not know, there was a booth selling AI slop images printed on acrylic panels at DragonCon. They were in booth a-10. I was in a-11. Here’s what happened from my perspective.

Did you know that AI “art” is labor theft?
Hi. I’m a professional traditional artist of over 15 years & I was able to make a decent living until 3 years ago.
In May 2023, over 50 of my paintings had been scraped without my consent to fuel AI image generators like Midjourney.

we're in a google system at work & recently it's started forcing "ai summaries" of conversations we are in the middle of in a chat. i need to stress how 99% of the time the summaries are wrong, like just wrong. Wrong assumptions, wrong understanding of what we're talking about, wrong on every level
