Amazed that people still think AI doesn't work. "I use it all the time at my job but I'm still the one doing all the work" is an actual claim I saw someone make. what??

www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... interesting that existential risks headlines seem to increase people's concern about immediate harms, and even seem to do so a little more than immediate harms headlines. they didn't test presenting now and later risks at once, but I'd guess that's even more effect size?

There is broad consensus that AI presents risks, but considerable disagreement about the nature of those risks. These differing viewpoints can be u...

"imagine a lady, perhaps one sitting in her house. if she looked around, she might see her furniture - perhaps nice, if she loved antique furniture. She could ponder the painting that might be on her wall, as she sits in her rocking chair. 'Charles', she might say if she had a cat, 'get down!'"

or at least, lies (falsehood with intent to decieve) and fiction (falsehood with intent to clearly mark things aesthetically as art) are both falsehoods

@zenorogue.bsky.social I haven't posted the code yet but here's a run. I'll post a bigger one tomorrow when the imagemagick script finishes on it
a hyperrogue run, bent into a zigzag with a custom imagemagick script. ice -> cave -> desert+cave for a while -> desert -> LOEM -> hunting -> hungle -> desert -> dry forest (which is all on fire lol) -> red rock -> minefield -> briefly, bull run -> prairie -> through the prairie nexus for fun -> prairie -> bull run -> run away from bull run aaa -> prairie -> beach -> died on the beach

a first version. I wanted a wallpaper that reminds me to think about my environment
a wallpaper image with arrows pointing out of the computer screen in various directions. in the center, labeled "you", are arrows pointing at the reader of the image. on the left and right, arrows point in directions that objects might be, labeled "objects to left/right of computer", respectively. on the bottom are arrows that point to the keyboard, with an appropriate label, and on the top is the label "objects above the computer". in the background is the text "objects behind computer" and arrows pointing away from the viewer. the scene is foggy, with faintly colorful spotlights pointing in various directions. the colors don't quite work. it's clearly a first version.

One thing I'll genuinely miss about Star Trek Discovery is how fuckin goofy it gets when it's dabbling in Doctor Who silliness in-between all the F-bombs. #Treksky

muted word lists: I mute words and phrases which are emotion activating, typically without suggesting any practical actions. I think doing that makes things healthier. Reaction rather than response, phrases: pastebin.com/raw/2BcKU7ph

Hi, dear friends at @support.bsky.team! Is it possible to set the standard-focus from "Top" to "Latest" by default in the "Search"-function? This would make it easier after tab-refresh, when a hashtag search is updated through refresh.

Mute by regex or similar more powerful pattern Separate "show muted post" button for replies by the same person to their own posts Mute levels - soft mute for mildly annoying things, medium mute for highly annoying things, full mute for spam Shareable word mute lists Mute by vector similarity?

one thing that might be buried here is that, more and more lately, i'm evaluating the quality of definitions and frameworks based on whether they elicit and sensitize me to some important detail or another. i think that's a more precise, more actionable, way to think about whether they're *useful*
