Wild how many times I’ve had some version of this convo lately:
Friend: hey did you hear [news item that sounds fake]
Me: where’d you hear that?
Friend: twitter/facebook
Me: can’t find it anywhere in the news, idk if that’s real
Friend: haha yeah crazy [does it again 3 hours later]
Didn’t eat breakfast, went to dentist, they told me don’t eat for 4 hours. I hate the natural consequences of my actions
So deeply stupid to imagine someone famous enough that not watching a popular tv show is enough to get an article in a major magazine lol
i think the test game is going well enough that if there's interest we can run more Bluesky Diplomacy games. queue up if you want to play some Diplomacy on the atproto!
God this is so real
Begging these people to read my paper on how we should be evaluating evidence in a way that makes actual sense.
Just read an article about reclaiming the word “foidslop” (incel-speak for art/media marketed to women and/or made by woman) and i think im gonna say there’s some words we don’t need to reclaim actually
A lot of ppl r rly uncomfortable with the idea that sharing a demographic characteristic doesn’t automatically make someone good/evil. hate to see it!

The word “webinar” has a deeply evil aura to me
A very good piece on why the left can't jettison the concept of international law altogether, despite its limitations and structural arrangement which at times has repeatedly legitmized colonialism and might-makes-right.
"llms are terrible for the environment"
end user environmental impact, even if you amortize training impact, is in the same ballpark as watching streaming video. a single flight abroad is more harmful than millions of prompts. andymasley.substack.com/p/individual...

I think a lot of people are stuck in the very christian idea that it’s more important for the abuser to be redeemed than for the abuse to stop happening
The unparalleled good vibe of buying a mango lassi at like 2 AM and then going home and drinking it alone in my completely dark apartment
I’m still mad about this lowkirk
Cowboy friday followed me. Can retire from posting now, we’re good

consciousness of some form probably does emerge in mycorrhizal networks btw
I fucking hate when old people say this shit as if they aren’t also still alive with us
Carrying their idols before them, the nationalistic masses of our time meet in the international arena, each group convinced that it executes the mandate of history, that it does for humanity what it seems to do for itself, and that it fulfils a sacred mission ordained by Providence, however defined.

Okay uh, so this honestly blew up.

So deeply tiresome how many people are invested in their own moral superiority above anything that actually happens in the world lol
@horsedisc.bsky.social literally has “bot” in its display name and I’ve seen multiple people engage with it for 7+ replies as if they’re talking to a real person. People don’t care if the skinner box is a human or not, they just like playing with it
