GOOD NEWS! For the first time ever, Huntington's disease has been successfully treated. A groundbreaking new miRNA treatment, AMT-130, slowed the progression of the disease by 75%. These results are likely to support the first approval of a genetic treatment for the rare neurodegenerative condition.

We say "pew pew" because "gun" will get us punished by the algorithm and our accounts shadowbanned. It says more for our current intake of social media when we skirt around these topics and adhere to secret guidelines vs speaking up about it and pushing back

We accepted it, now we're suffering

I'll say it since I took a recent class for this

When you ask someone who is in serious need of help, the only way forward is "are you thinking about suicide?"

Any other way (ending your life, ending it all, exiting life, sleeping for a long time) can get muddled because it skirts around it

Social media censorship is literally destroying the way we communicate with each other.

I think I almost became the joker when that one museum in seattle said Kurt Cobain "unalived" himself.

Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

Louvre news reminded me of the one year someone tried to steal the magna carta.

First of all, surprised someone remembered the Magna Carta existed. secondly

This is also possibly just going to affect LLM models but that's speculation bc I'm not an AI tech person. But AI collapsing on itself could also trigger the AI bubble to burst

It would be not great (markets bursting are never great for the little people like us) but if AI gets wrecked

Lmao

We should find it alarming that OpenAI wants explicit chats now. That means people are at their more vulnerable and on top of the anti-porn push by Visa (which this could actually help AGAINST visa) again, you have to ask why

Because the outputs will be more chaotic, more uncreative, harder to reel in. But if it already scraped the internet (consider that is 30-40 years of actual information online) then it's at its peak. Humans cannot make new info for it at the pace it needs

That snake eating the tail thing.

The latest AI theory I've come across gets me excited

The idea that AI will implode on itself because it has already scraped the internet (?) so the only other resource will be its own slop

In a sense, Glaze and nightshade have done this but AI doing it to itself is what you ideally want

“When they rob us of art and emotion, that leads us towards the aesthetics of fascism. In this film, all the sets are real, the decor is human-sized, there are painstakingly created miniatures... It’s there to remind us that art is not only necessary, it is urgent. And AI can go fuck itself!”

Guillermo del Toro on 'Frankenstein': 'AI can go f**k itself!'

"Art is not only necessary, it is urgent. And AI can go f*ck itself!” Guillermo del Toro is a guest of honour at this year’s Lumière Film Festival. He presents his adaptation of Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein", which audiences got to see on the big screen before it streams on Netflix next month.

Twitter & Truth Social are dying. Their users are used to farming outrage for engagement. Don't give them any!

Our federal tax dollars are being used to fund a network of government social media accounts that pump out disinformation 24/7. Even during a government shutdown. It’s definitely not essential work.

unless you work in news, highly recommend everyone block every (US) gov. account on bsky. Mostly bc they're pushing propaganda. eventually they'll fall off bsky since the accounts they already had on here didn't have any traction until now

But there's enough money to give $40 billion to Argentina during a government shutdown, weird.

Lynai (Spoopykiwi) @lynai.bsky.social · 4d

All the accounts so far (still going through them) have posted about the same time about the same issues (gov shut down)

who is the person in the gov being paid to do this? or is this a bot farming effort

Lynai (Spoopykiwi) @lynai.bsky.social · 4d

Going through the government accounts and it's very weird to see them all join at around the same time with about the same messaging. The Dept. of Labor is also very strange bc it's clear 1950s nuclear family propaganda
