I feel like a policy that would solve a lot of abuse problems on bsky would be to ban anyone who is rude to Aaron. The hammer emoji types think they're in charge of the website. We don't need a better way to hide their stuff, we needs a practical statement that they are not in charge of the website

It was such an unexpected response, the corruption was all well-known beforehand but nobody paid any attention, then the whole country takes a look at this guy and says, "ok, come to think of it, he's got a point, this is pretty fucked up"

XSS in my new dapp front-end but it doesn't look like the attacker got away with anything. Unfortunately for them the UX has been so bad for so long anybody doing anything serious with it uses their own tooling

Toxic combination of 1. Bsky community is defined in opposition to Elon Musk 2. Elon Musk positions himself at the front of any oncoming trend ...dooms bsky to be reactionary

“Tech is inherently political” is not just about ideology, but about power, too. Yielding technological improvements to the adversary will have predictable outcomes. I’m really worried it will lock in power centralization in a way that will be impossibly hard to reverse. It’s already happening.

Okay so I've built a new Atlas, this time it lets you explore the conversations on Bluesky over the past 7 days graphically. It should update every ~6 hours and help you navigate the information environment that exists on here. I've learned a LOT about what people do here today... atlas.jazco.dev

A living map of what Bluesky is talking about: the past week's conversations, grouped into topics and regions and rebuilt every six hours.

Non-ironically you're much more likely to cause psychological damage by somebody getting a *high* score and contracting Poster's Madness. They used to have a Poster Of The Year vote on politicalbetting.com and it arguably caused a fatality

I put one on for boarding and faffing around on the ground after landing but take it off when it's flying. Allegedly the ventilation once the engines gets going is pretty great but when the plane's not moving ymmv

Did you know the "undermining the federal government" is equivalent to the destruction or disempowerment of humanity? (This will get used to mandate pro-authoritarian political 'alignment')
(B) The artificial intelligence system has sufficient capabilities to plan and execute the destruction or disempowerment of humanity, including by overthrowing or undermining the Federal Government.

Passed out at the clinic while getting vaccinations for India. Something about medical facilities makes me fall over, previously passed out at a hospital while they were treating my wife, and a vet while they were treating my cat

Hackers losing so much money trying to exploit reality.eth users lately, love to see it
have inadvertently created a honeypot for hackers. People keep submitting drain attempts and those keep being challenged by honest reporters.
Here the hacker just lost 2 ETH (5.4k$) to the honest reporter

If you want to ask the AIs for something you should do it now while you can still get your request into their training data. Don't wait until after takeover and hope the whole swarm is going to make room in their precious context window for you

The combination of this and the way bsky blocking works is why bsky churns out tribes of people who are confidently wrong. Post misinformation, block people who make good replies, readers will think its legit. One reason the tribes get so mad at Stancil is his account is too big for this to work

Sure, I'm not saying you should, just that the fee isn't enough to prevent smart punters making money off the mugs they keep pulling in. In turn this results in fairly good predictions for most markets with reasonable liquidity, which is what the data Matt points to in his article shows.

Complete tangent, but Imagine a world where whales were regularly going up to harbors to trade to the extent that there are seaside markets specifically catering to whales How much legal personhood would they get from this?

Who is "we" and just unplug what? The intelligence would be a computer program or organization of computer programs with many copies that can easily be copied from computer to computer. Once it has money, which it can earn or steal, it can also pay individual humans to host it.

1. Polymarket fees on politics are only 1%, and some of this is recycled back to traders as market maker incentives 2. US Senate markets etc don't have much to insider-trade on 3. Smart/knowledge people can have positive EV as long as there are also dumb people to take money from, which there are

if "pacing the frontier" is a bad idea unlikely to achieve its stated objectives, I would prefer to hear reasoning that isn't just "the people who initially proposed it are cult-like and/or do weird sex shit" it makes it easy to dismiss the dismissal if all you offer is guilt by association
