If you're using AI to complete a task, just don't do the task. It obviously isn't important enough to do right.
I'll cautiously say I've noticed more skepticism about AI in the corporate world and it's mostly because people's coworkers are creating extra work for them. They don't have the vocabulary to describe it yet but it's basically the "Why should I read what you couldn't be bothered to write" thing

It is quite possible to be brave in the face of a consolidating authoritarian. But to @radiofreetom.bsky.social it's inconceivable.
If we were living under fascism, none of you would be here daring to post things. You'd be erasing your social media accounts and keeping your head down; you'd know that peacocking your faux-bravery on a network would expose you to being disappeared.
You have no idea what "fascism" really means.

the regime is zip tying toddlers and ripping them away from their mothers unclothed... calling it fascism upsets this neo-con.

They’re using American tax dollars to fund infrastructure in Argentina because that’s where they’re all going to flee when we kick them out of office
After announcing a $20 billion bailout of Argentina, the White House now says it's pausing $18 billion in funding for NYC infrastructure projects

Everybody calm down. The President is not dead. He is just undergoing his regularly scheduled 72-hour colonoscopy.

Received a @bruceharrell.bsky.social push poll of a video of him bullying @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social for ??? leading an effective advocacy organization, i guess.
Money well spent!
Also, Bruce, baby. We've seen your approach to homelessness and public safety, and it sucks. Good luck on that!

Federal Troops in Portland looking to secure Epstein files including Trump pee tape.
If people really wanted distractions to fail and stop, all you have to do is teach the algorithm that Epstein is related to that topic.
You can talk about them together or invent hashtags. #PortlandEpsteinFiles

what anil said. also, two things are true:
1. america has a horrific, brutal facist and authoritarian tradition which has prepared for this moment;
2. that is not the only american tradition, and pretending it is helps the fascists.

Lots of folks want to have a gotcha, "did you know: America has always had corruption!" No shit. But did you know: a huge reason millions of people came to this country was because it was *better* at things like the rule of law and not being openly corrupt. For real. bsky.app/profile/anil...
sure, sure, I get that this is the "savvy" take. But no, actually, you didn't have the mayor of the largest city in the country openly bargaining away obvious crimes with the president of the United States in plain view of everyone.

What party leaders? Most likely respondents are saying, "Yeah, we need someone at the head of the party," a position that doesn't exist in the American system unless the President is in your party.

Big Strong Needles love me, they come up to me. Tears in their lumen. They say thank you, Mr Baby.
The whole time that Trump has been saying dumb shit about vaccines, which goes back well before he got into politics, his big issue has always been that The Needle Is Too Big, and that there's too much stuff in it. They're putting dozens, hundreds of things in the needle, it's too big for babies.

IF the Biden DOJ thought Homan had to perform an official act to charge him because of recent jurisprudence, then their $50,000 payment to him looks like a massive parlay bet that: (a) Biden/Harris would lose, (b) Trump would reappoint Homan, (c) Homan would do it, and (d) TRUMP’s DOJ WOULD INDICT.
