Bluesky removed overnight a Palestinian pediatrician, Sheppard/ teacher and a mother of young children- all of whom have validated their identities in many ways and have many real followers… what’s the end game of this?

The "use case" for LLMs is: Spam. Everywhere.

The LLM is for spam
OpenAI’s AI-powered text generators fueled a lot of the hype around AI — but the real-world use case for large language models is overwhelmingly to generate content for spamming. [Vox]
The use case for AI is spam web pages filled with ads. Google considers LLM-based ad landing pages to be spam, but seems unable or unwilling to detect and penalize it. [MIT Technology Review; The Verge]
The use case for AI is spam books on Amazon Kindle. Most are “free” Kindle Unlimited titles earning money through subscriber pageviews rather than outright purchases. [Daily Dot]
The use case for AI is spam news sites for ad revenue. [NewsGuard]
The use case for AI is spam phone calls for automated scamming — using AI to clone people’s voices. [CBS]
The use case for AI is spam Amazon reviews and spam tweets. [Vice]
The use case for AI is spam videos that advertise malware. [DigitalTrends]

The way our shared calendar is set up whenever Tom makes an event it notifies me that there is a new event so I tried to joke back and made an event called big chillin that starts in 690 AD and ends in the year 4000 but it didn't show up and now if I search for anything including "big" the app crash

As an outsider to the American election, I notice lately that everyone's stopped taking about how good Harris is, and resumed talking about how cringey Trump is. This is not good.

Did you know that David Lynch was offered to direct Return of the Jedi, but he turned it down?
Could you imagine what Star Wars would be like now, if Lynch touched it in the 80's?

Okay wow, homemade fresh almond milk tastes way better than anything out of a container.
I feel like I need to set up a homesteading day every week, though, to make almond milk, peanut butter, and kimchi. These all taste so much better homemade.

To make almond milk you first soak the almonds overnight and then blend them with water. Do you blend them with the soaking water? Or do you dump that water? Does it matter?

How do I get Chinese-restaurant level rice? I have good jasmine rice, I have a good rice cooker, but I can't get that chewy texture I want. Do I have to cook my rice three hours earlier or something?

Nintendo Switch 2 is gonna be one of two things:
Exactly the same as the original switch but with 4k Output or something but existing games will still look the same. Everyone will buy it.
Or, some kinda revolutionary eXistenz fleshy game console you interact with by petting and talking to it.

In Yoshi's Island, if the "Kamek saying 'OH, MY!!!'" object is inserted anywhere in a level that is not a boss battle, Baby Mario will explode. This will count as completing the level.
