the feds already have a direct feed of everything via the firehose

their arrival here is for intimidation or propaganda purposes (ie visa threat made by State Dept account)

blocking them all immediately eliminates their ability to make everyone see their weird little videos and flaccid quote dunks

anyway with the feds here i would advise you to not post any plans about anything you wouldn't like the feds to associate you with

that includes building azorious control

A year ago these things could just shuffle along slowly and would fall down if you looked at them wrong

this is a big part of why even though I've been in online spaces for most of my life, I've almost always been an outsider there

recently I've been working on avoiding the antisocial nature of online spaces and making real connections and it rules

but you do have to swim against the current

yeah and the swedish ones in particular supposedly have very low associated cancer risk because the tobacco is steamed instead of smoked

so its probably one of the least harmful ways to get nicotine

I switched to swedish snus for a couple of years, then switched to vaping for a while after that

now I only vape occasionally, last time I touched it was in june

hey, if you just joined and the website is not Funny, it’s bc a lot of shitposters have a “rude” label which hides their posts by default on signup. you can (and should!) disable this

Matt the Buff Dad (Defiant!) @undefeatedmatt.wifeguy.online · 1d

If you want to see my posts you to go to @moderation.bsky.app and set your “rude” filter to “off”. They labeled a bunch of us “rude” for making fun of Charlie Throat

I don't think I've seen it written in all caps very often either

I guess its not useful for actually protesting anything, but might be useful for finding comrades as they crack down more and more on freedom of expression

seems like the sort of thing that could make a resurgence soon

I had to look up what that is and I don't get the point

hanky code makes sense at least because maybe you don't want the average passerby to know that you're into fisting and piss play,

but why use a code to signal that you care about the environment or are against police brutality?

I want to be clear here that I do not believe an LLM should be the primary orchestrator or interface for such a system

that is a recipe for disaster, as we have seen

the reliability of LLMs has plateaued and if they are to be useful they must be strictly controlled

☽ stephanie ☿ @believeinlain.bsky.social · 1d

I think most people have it mixed up

LLMs are not evil, but they are not AI either

rather than using an LLM as an agent to drive other software, it should be a component in a composite AI system

similar to how our brains work with different structures that perform different roles

I think I will put together a small experiment to explore this

using an LLM in a very controlled manner might actually be interesting
