I am extremely confused as to why the UK government and police are saying Grok’s mass-scale CSAM generation is an issue for Ofcom.
This isn’t about X failing to moderate CSAM, which is an Online Safety Act issue. It is about the company and its technology being actively involved in its generation.

I know nobody knows what they’re doing and socially we’re all trying to wing our way through everything, but I do feel like I know what I’m doing a little less then everyone else, and I’m winging it a little more socially.

If you're a game dev who's never been to an opera - consider it! You'll be blown away by what they do with sets and set transitions and conveying big stories with very little on stage. And it's probably way cheaper than you think to go. And you absolutely don't have to speak the language of the work

A Calif. teen trusted ChatGPT for drug advice. He died from an overdose.

There’s a weird narcissistic edge to all the AI coding, like everyone talks about it in “it’s like a junior developer” terms which is just such a gross way of thinking of things. All of you must have a real weird relationship with your colleagues.

Incredibly shocked and saddened to learn of Steve Dee’s passing. His passion for making games and sharing the craft of gamemaking was unmatched. He made a whole bunch of great games (It Is Forbidden is stellar), and in his memory I want to share my favourite:

We met our first milestone, we managed to make $100 so far.
Not only is that money funding new work next year, it's also helping indigenous people in the central desert region.
I'm donating my cut of the bundle to NPY Women's Council, who work to provide cultural, social, and health services.

Look, Bluesky is a Twitter byproduct that exists as a community because Musk bought Twitter and killed it and now has X wear it as a skinsuit. No one is here really because they believe in the fediverse, we're here because of what happened to Twitter. This is twitter for opting out of Musk-Twitter.
