This is just such a funny quirk on this site. Tons of people are using AI. The genie is out of the bottle and it's not going anywhere
lots of people, especially on here, are fastened onto the idea that it's just AI bro marketing or whatever to consider it a fixture of the information landscape. it's easy to think that when everyone in your circles is an ethical AI refuser. but I'm afraid it really has been mass adopted.

I use @electionstudies.bsky.social data from 1972 to model how characters in The Simpsons would have voted in presidential elections
It turns out to be very revealing about how the demographic coalitions of the Democratic and Republican parties have completely rearranged themselves...

This week I crossed a big milestone. I turned 1 billion seconds old.
To help put into context the difference between a million and a billion, I turned one million seconds old at the tender age of 12 days old in May 1994. I am now nearly 32!

@discogsofficial.bsky.social *please* can you provide the option to revert back to the 'classic' marketplace user interface. The new version is very difficult and cumbersome to use, and replaces useful information for with large artwork thumbnails. Totally unusable in its updated format. Thanks

London Centric is such an impressive outfit, real investigative journalism about issues that impact and matter to its audience. Other much larger organisations could learn a thing or two, and it is more than worth subscribing to. This is a brilliant story, and action vs these crooks is long overdue.

The state of mobile data/wifi connectivity on the UK's trains is woeful and pathetically inadequate. Just completely wasted, unproductive hours out of everyone's day. The people furrowing their brows and pretending to tap away on Outlook do make me laugh though

Please can @transportforlondon.bsky.social start a marketing campaign aimed at the tube's riders to remind everyone of basic tube etiquette. Backpacks off on busy carriages, using earphones, letting people off first etc. Commutes are being made miserable by offenders!

Five years later: why did he play down everything that is happening in the world?

A lot of the political content is bad but really what broke Twitter/X for me was the extent to which it began pushing endless videos of violence at me... just people getting punched, assaulted, run over, fighting... I like to think I'm fairly mentally resilient but constant exposure altered my mood.
