Jeff Janis @jeffjanis.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I somewhat disagree with you about job replacement, as this journalist could easily be replaced by AI, since he was terrible! You handled his tone with intelligence and grace. 👍🏻 100
Jeff Janis @jeffjanis.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Gonna take a wild guess- is either Built to Spill or Modest Mouse at 11? 010
Jeff Janis @jeffjanis.bsky.social · 03/10/2026So you are unable to give even basic details re what you’re talking about? 020
Jeff Janis @jeffjanis.bsky.social · 02/10/20261/3! Fascinating. I did not know this. Granted, I don’t really care about Rome lol. 000

Jeff Janis @jeffjanis.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I can’t imagine being more embarrassing than this dork 030
Jeff Janis @jeffjanis.bsky.social · 30/09/2026This is the only thing I remember about him. Was he even ever employed? 010
Jeff Janis @jeffjanis.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Thank you both for sharing your devastation. It IS a brave act. 000
Jeff Janis @jeffjanis.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Huh, wonder why it was deleted. Here’s a link. Unreal. Well, maybe all too real.

Jeff Janis @jeffjanis.bsky.social · 28/09/2026They should have a Richter scale -like rating for the sway of the post 000
Jeff Janis @jeffjanis.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I understand and agree. But saying the government will ‘ruin’ something is wrong. I mean I presume it would be ok for government to get involved to ensure these kids can play. That would not ruin sports. 110
Jeff Janis @jeffjanis.bsky.social · 27/09/2026First half is good. ‘Ruin sports by putting government in charge’ is straight GOP propaganda and denigrates every federal employee’s work. 1110
Jeff Janis @jeffjanis.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Is it ok for your joint holder to have its own lil umbrella? 1170
Jeff Janis @jeffjanis.bsky.social · 27/09/2026The f’ed up Duke Lacrosse case really set everything back. No one in power seems to understand this case was extremely unique, and the vast vast vast majority of accusations are true. 140
Jeff Janis @jeffjanis.bsky.social · 22/09/2026This is wonderful, she is wonderful. Thank you for your work! 010
Jeff Janis @jeffjanis.bsky.social · 22/09/2026You all NAILED it. What an incredible read, she is the best. 000
Jeff Janis @jeffjanis.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Your name is almost super cool. Also, nice comment! 000
Jeff Janis @jeffjanis.bsky.social · 20/09/2026All fine, will only reply here lol. That is kind of my point - we humans SHOULD figure out a different word for LLMs, because people are confusing machine thinking (relatively straightforward) with real thinking (we really don’t understand our brains yet!). It is a misleading definition. 010
Jeff Janis @jeffjanis.bsky.social · 20/09/2026We are talking about definitions and how they are understood. A lot of people are saying AI not only thinks but is ‘sentient’ I am saying this is ridiculous. 210
Jeff Janis @jeffjanis.bsky.social · 20/09/2026I think in general Dems are less likely to vandalize as Republicans, who mostly don’t care at all (if the message is right) 010
Jeff Janis @jeffjanis.bsky.social · 20/09/2026 But no one is arguing that computers ACTUALLY sleep. All kinds of people think AI really does think like a human! 110
Jeff Janis @jeffjanis.bsky.social · 20/09/2026I once in awhile check the ‘what’s hot’ feed, and man there are a lot of diapers and even more large animal bellies. Bluesky has some uh interesting corners. 000
Jeff Janis @jeffjanis.bsky.social · 20/09/2026But you believe computers can ‘think’? I harp on this bc using ‘think’ re AI (consciousness is even dumber) makes them seem much more powerful than they actually are. AI marketing win. 110
Jeff Janis @jeffjanis.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Why not uses ‘processes’ rather than ‘thinks’ Shouldn’t definitions describe the thing they are defining? 110
Jeff Janis @jeffjanis.bsky.social · 20/09/2026 Thinking creates thoughts in the brain, which we only sort of understand. Come up with a new word for machines. 120
Jeff Janis @jeffjanis.bsky.social · 20/09/2026I wonder if they would describe an AI turned off as ‘sleeping’ actual sleep not computer sleep. Does it dream? Where do the ‘thoughts’ go w/o prompts? Why should anyone describe AI as ‘thinking’ as outside the understood definition of thinking (something a physical brain does)? What is the purpose? 111
