holy crap y'all, here's the killer combo:
1. a directory of all starter packs - blueskydirectory.com/starter-pack...
2. a tool to turn packs into lists - nws-bot.us/bskyStarterP...
3. a layout where lists can be columns deck.blue (bsky.app/profile/spen...)

New: I can confirm hasty US-Russia proposal being pushed to Ukrainians via Dmitriev-Witkoff to Umerov. It would amount to Ukraine’s capitulation, with people familiar saying it’s Kremlin’s maximalist demands.
-Ukraine army cut 1/2
-Give up certain weapons
-Give up Donbas

We are about to go through a cambrian explosion of new software
this www.techmeme.com/250705/p18#a... very closely tracks with my experience with AI CLIs the past week. i come to the same conclusions.
I think the reason it excels so much with swiftui is that the framework is EXTREMELY opinionated. So LLMs' SwiftUI training data is more-correct

In normal times, it would be a major scandal for the President to direct his AG to criminally investigate his political opponents to deflect from his own involvement in a major scandal — and for the AG to immediately announce she is doing it. The Epstein scandal and cover up just got even bigger.

Interesting thought experiment: would Hitler have succeeded in completely dismantling Germany as a liberal democracy if, in 1933, all Germans suddenly realized he was a serial pedophile? 🤔

Something that often gets lost in this tragic situation is that it's not JUST ChatGPT that's responsible here. It's the rhetoric of every tech giant telling the world that AI is an all-powerful entity capable of the most complex thought and analysis. That plays into how seriously people take it. 1/2
Six people died from tampered Tylenol and the company pulled 30 million bottles off the market. ChatGPT is accused of urging seven people towards suicide, and OpenAI just assures us they’re still working out the kinks. Billions in investment, zero accountability.

Deplatforming Nick Fuentes was what kept him from being mainstreamed, it worked. Elon's replatforming of all of these people and allowing actual Nazis around is why the US government is now publishing white supremacist propaganda regularly.

Mind-blowing stuff from Robby Soave.
"Podcasters should not avoid Fuentes." Of course they should. Deplatforming Nazis is good. Not amplifying them is not censorship.
Also laughable to claim Fuentes has been deplatformed. His growing reach is directly tied to MAGA destigmatizing naked racism.
