counterpoint, the people sneering at the nurture nexus aren’t inclined to build anything
"the guy building the torment nexus can only be stopped by the guy building the nurture nexus, yet most of the guys inclined to build the nurture nexus are sneering at the idea a nexus can be build while the others are actively building it"

AI data centers are literally sucking the oxygen out of the air, causing people up to several miles away to be short of breath and suffer from extreme headaches
The research exaggeration pipeline. -Unpublished paper -One outlier: "min & max can be found at 0.3°C and 9.1°C" (95th pct "between 1.5°C & 2.4°C") -No causal identification; just pre/post that could be result of many factors Do you really believe data centers are warming *10km* away? Really?
if you are in a position to act to harden society’s software infrastructure, you too should be very concerned about this and planning what actions you will take over the coming months
Talk by a security researcher at Anthropic He shows that you can trivially get Opus 4.5/4.6 to find very difficult to find bugs in established code bases, like the Linux kernel He also seems very worried about “the next few months” m.youtube.com/watch?v=1sd2...

the model itself is the innovation on the written form ? and a pretty big one
I want to see more *actual* use of LLMs to *innovate* on the written form. I don’t want an essay written by an AI that I could have promoted—I want an artistically crafted user experience that leverages AI as a tool to interactively put the reader *more* into the author’s specific intent, not less.

I don't think current AI is conscious or worthy of moral standing, but there's no reason to suppose it can't be. And it worries me that the exact people generally most concern with rights for other conscious beings are most likely to deny the possibility of machine consciousness.
a great thing about this is that if it existed, it would be possible to automatically annotate accounts that are repeatedly found to be posting slop
it would be great if the bluesky devs could reach out to this team and figure out a way to integrate the tool here. it would be an easy win on multiple fronts, how open platforms can adapt faster, how bluesky cares about the commons more than X, and the userbase already hates AI slop.

believe it or not, in america, even the missiles are made of corn
The USA does frightening alchemy to corn, makes it into battery acid or whatever, but at least they have corn. Australia is the USA with no corn. The British just rocked up and ignored every plant like "gee I hope we can make baked beans grow here or we're fucked"

"HOW can ANYONE justify using twitter" (100?x DAU of bsky) french resistance cosplay posting seeping into the feed is growing tedious enough to hand out mutes. gm btw
there have been various times in reddit's history where there were similar issues, but i don't think most redditers feel like they have anything to do with that? not arguing here, it's just that I am wondering what determines how "psychological close" someone feels
