Reposted by sōm ⁂ae @aelkus.bsky.social · 28/09/2026unlike social media, which is a mature technology, LLMs are not. we have a better opportunity to steer their direction in a way that might undo the effects of social media. but you have to start small and at points of leverage. 11026
Reposted by sōm ⁂Grace @gracekind.net · 30/11/2025For my part, seeing AI catch up to my abilities in several domains has been painful. I feel a sense of loss. And I’m in a position where I have (a tiny bit of) leverage and control over the process. I can only imagine how painful it would be if I felt like it were completely out of my hands 82599

Right now we're nowhere near ready. No company harmed the web more than Google, not even close, while claiming to help which many believed. What can we learn and how fast? 66213

Reposted by sōm ⁂roy 朗井 @live.from.roys.house · 23/09/2026btw i think the reason i like magical sigils and worlds based around them is because magical sigils are actually real. you open up a satellite LNB and what you find is shapes wrought from metal to manipulate unseen forces. you can't tell me they're not magical sigils 1029366
