That's a good one! Maybe the external-facing version of this is Gen-Juicing.

Oh that's great. I actually find that hard to scroll past, especially on my phone, since it tends to take up a lot of space, and THEN it's similar questions that upon dropdown click ALSO have AI-generated responses, and THEN it's finally links.

If you have been framing your work as involving/in relation to "AI", what do you mean by "AI"? How would you describe your work without using that phrase?

This for me is the fundamental reason why I came to Bsky — posting on X helps retain people on X.
I’ve learned for myself and other colleagues in AI tho that part of the tradeoff w Bsky is abuse: how much abuse is ok for staying on the platform? Are death threats ok? (There isn’t one right answer.)

Yah, sorry. My sense from the comments I saw last night/this morning is that there’s nuance not well-suited for social media convo, this included.
I’m being called a c*** and stuff for things I haven’t said or done, so gotta kinda mute this stuff now—thanks for your thoughtful comments!

100%, no disagreement. I think there are a few issues getting conflated here. Block lists are useful and people should absolutely be able to *not* see people they don't want to see on social media. I disagree a bit with Will on his point -- but he's not speaking for me.
