FINALLY, bluesky has added sensible moderation defaults
An altered image of the settings panel for bluesky moderation. A settings panel where each option has options for Off, Warn, and Hide. Threats Promotes violence or harm towards others, including threats, incitement, or advocacy of harm. Rude Rude or impolite, including crude language and disrespectful comments, without constructive purpose. Scandalous Gossips, rabblerousers, ne'er-do-wells. Uncouth Content which may be gauche or commit a faux-pas that simply isn't done in polite company The Rabble Posts which may forget their station; unwanted opinions from common everyday folk without title or fortune.

this is just a really funny thing to say on Wikipedia. I'm also not sure how confident I am that it's true. It feels like it asserts an inherently unprovable negative
Harry Milner Whittington[1] (March 3, 1927 – February 4, 2023) was an American lawyer, real estate investor, and political figure. He received international media attention following an incident on February 11, 2006, when he was accidentally shot in the face, neck, and torso by then-United States vice president Dick Cheney while hunting quail with two women on a ranch in Kenedy County, Texas, near Corpus Christi.[2] Highlighted: It was the first time someone had been shot by a sitting United States vice-president since Alexander Hamilton was shot in a duel by Aaron Burr in 1804.

I appreciate the gentle correction from my friends at google. I won’t make the same mistake again
I googled “granulated sugar” and google ai corrected me telling me that “granted sugar” was not a thing and I must have meant “granulated sugar”

I'm sorry if this question is obnoxious but I mean it sincerely, not as a pedantic gotcha.

Is this correct? Do LLMs do images and videos? I thought the models that did those things (Midjourney, DALL-E, Sora, etc) were a different kinds of models, not LLMs
In 2022, a (kind-of) company called OpenAI surprised the world with a website called ChatGPT that could generate text that sort-of sounded like a person using a technology called Large Language Models (LLMs), which can also be used to generate images, video and computer code.

I knew this poll over on mastodon would be divisive but I was not expecting such an even split. Clearly some people are excited about the possibilities offered by the new way, but others definitely see the benefits of a tried and true approach

Imagine my delight when I saw this, thinking we were finally gonna get into metaethics and I was gonna drop my hot takes about how philosophically vapid utilitarianism is, and then I clicked through and it was just some dumb shit about mark zuckerberg’s stupid thing

it's uncommon for me for a post to get more than like 10-20 interactions there (which is nice tbh) but this post went the mastodon equivalent of "viral" and I got no fewer than a dozen responses which were variations on "could be worse! could be moist regards!" haha cool observation! shut up

My Retroid Pocket Classic arrived on the same day as my Switch 2 which really highlighted that I did not need a RPC, it was a silly thing to buy

however, since it's an android device you can do all kinds of things with it. watching 90s anime on it is a VIBE. everybody on the train will be jealous

A game I came up with: Go to slate.com, look for headlines that are two sentences long, take the second sentences only, and try to build a poem from them
Well, She Came Back With a Vengeance. She’s Catching On to the Truth. I Know What She Should’ve Done Next. I’m Not Sure She’s Going to Want to Hear It. So I’ve Figured Out the Perfect Way to Retaliate. There’s a Radical Change. But People Aren’t Going to Like It. Two Words: “Pure White.” Get Ready. Well… It’s Time We Talked About It. I Spent Months Investigating How It All Went Wrong. I’m Grateful For What That Taught Me. But One Fatal Flaw Had Brought Us To Disaster. Oh No. Everyone Thinks it’s a “Terrible” Idea. I’m Appalled. I’ll Stand By It Forever. Yikes. It Just Died. One Man Is Responsible. Now I Don't Even Recognize Him. Now He's Questioning Everything. Now He's Atop the Netflix Charts. It's All Because of One Very Dedicated Movie Nerd. It's Creating Chaos In Our House. Oh God, Anything But This.

Back when I was at my previous job, I had a tumblr post where I kept track of all the weird mangled figures of speech that my coworker used. She was a funny old italian american grandmother. I loved her like family and I worked with her for about ten years. I just found out she died on Sunday :(
A tumblr post with that goofy looking nested indent format that you get when someone keeps reblogging and adding stuff “They’re just flying like rats off the boat.” “Something’s not quite right in Denmark.” “I think I’ve exhausted all revenues.” “This is like stickin’ one of those needles in a haystack!” “She’s the kind of person who’d give you the shit off her back.” Okay, different co-worker this time. I was in the office late and he asked if I was “burning the midnight owl.” Okay back to the usual co-worker for a wistful: “Oh I love the French Prince of Bel Air.” “Peyton Manning? That guy’s as clean as toast.” “That’s just one more oil in the ointment.” “She’s stuck between a hard rock and a place to put that rock.” New variant of that last one: “She’s stuck between a hard rock and a place to poop.” “It’s another chick in the armor.” “she did it real quick, like biff bam whang, thank you ma'am“ “I was so angry at her, I was all over her like a, like a wet noodle… with.. with… with french toast on it.” (usually we just let these things slide and I stifle a laugh but this time everyone in the office was like “WHAT EVEN?”) “Five minutes? You want me to wait FIVE MINUTES? I could have a baby in five minutes!” “my cuppeth’s run over, over here!” “she knows about it, but I don’t know about it. the kettle doesn’t know who’s… generating the heat.” I just learned that this former coworker of mine passed away on Sunday. RIP to Andrea “Bam” Adamo

Wow!!!! Fourth wall shenanigans??? in #DoctorWho??? who could have seen this coming????

www.doctorwho.tv/news-and-fea...
A section of the linked article: The cast of Doctor Who Season 2 continues to grow as Emmy Award winner Alan Cumming is set to guest star in its second episode. Previously appearing in the Whoniverse as King James I in Series 11 adventure The Witchfinders, Cumming lends his voice in Season 2 to Mr Ring-a-Ding, a happy, funny, singalong cartoon, who lives in Sunny Town with his friend Sunshine Sally. However, in 1952, after years of repeats in cinemas across the land, Mr Ring-a-Ding suddenly looks beyond the screen and sees the real world outside - and the consequences are terrifying. Also, a screenshot of Cumming's character, a blue cartoon guy wearing a tux, parting a not-cartoony red curtain
