Did you know that 99% of email today is spam? Your inbox isn’t 99% spam because AI is used to filter it.

The same 99% will happen here too, but if AI researchers continue to get perma-banned for making available the datasets needed to filter it, it’s going to make this platform unusable.

The author of this dataset repo (@AlpinDale) has been banned by the @moderation.bsky.app for nonsense reason. For a tech team that aims to rival X but doesn't bother to learn about the basics of training and be reflective about their own data policy, this is totally unacceptable. @howard.fm

Looking forward to Robin Hanson's multi-millennial reign after he achieves symbiosis with the sand trout. The golden path must be followed. Scattering ensures grabbiness.

I don't post a lot over here yet, but I'm certainly enjoying watching the weirdness unfold.

My best tweets are too niche. Clearly I need to cultivate weirder followers over here.

Most people are employed in the entertainment industry now whether they know it or not. Adjust your mindset appropriately.

Current web has very week causal representation power. It's going to get better.

Seeing who all is here already, I think this place has a shot. :) I really hope it works out.
