I love how @sonicinternet.bsky.social claims that my house is covered, especially with AT&T fiber already present, and some neighbors already subscribed with them, and that they are "Planning" my request for connection since March. Doesn't really bode well for their actual service...

Ugh. Let's hope this is just a mistake from @bsky.app's moderation team, and not a genuine ban. Pretty wild that the second most popular labeler can just go poof in an instant tho. Not sure this bode well for this platform.

"I don't care that he's dead." "He's not a hero." "He's a scumbag." "He shouldn't be celebrated." No, no. I'm not saying that about Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk said that about George Floyd. Just in case anyone's interested in what he thought was fair to say about someone who was killed on camera.

Foxes In Love @foxes-in-love.bsky.social · 12/09/2025
A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue approaches Green, who is reading something on his phone with keen interest.
Blue: So, what did you find out?

Green turns away from his phone screen to look at Blue.
Green: Did you know that some whales' blow holes are shaped just like any other mammals' nostrils?
Blue: I meant about when that store opens.

Green turns back to his phone, as Blue looks at him, speechless.
Green: Right! I forgot to look it up!

Donc la France "exprime sa vive émotion" pour la mort d'un sac à merde nazi qui appelait à lapider les homosexuels et faisait l'apologie de l'esclavage, qui réclamait que les les hommes soient propriétaires des femmes et que les exécutions capitales soient diffusées en direct dans les écoles.

The best anti-AI post I've seen in a while is bsky.app/profile/ques... It perfectly describes what AI agents will never be able to replace: silliness and quirks. Our urge to just go derp sometimes. That's what makes us unique. That's what makes us irreplicable and irreplaceable.

I was next to (one of) the AI slop booths at DragonCon and all I got was this lousy t-shirt. So, as you may or may not know, there was a booth selling AI slop images printed on acrylic panels at DragonCon. They were in booth a-10. I was in a-11. Here’s what happened from my perspective.

✏️ Happy Labor Day! 🖌️ Did you know that AI “art” is labor theft? Hi. I’m a professional traditional artist of over 15 years & I was able to make a decent living until 3 years ago. In May 2023, over 50 of my paintings had been scraped without my consent to fuel AI image generators like Midjourney.

“i have to use AI because i’m bad at drawingggg 😭😭😭”
Three panel comic:

1st panel: Two crudely drawn stick men:
Stick man 1: to make art that is popular you have to be really good at drawing

2nd panel: 
stick man 2: but if that’s true

3rd panel: both characters are looking at a spot beneath the comic (where the likes are)
Stick man 2: why does this comic have thousands of likes?

I was trying to debug why I haven't been able to log in to my Capital One account for a while now. Spent some time to debug it. Turns out, it's just another case of the Internet of Shit. Wondering if some AI hallucinated a URL there.
A screenshot of the Chrome debugger showing that during the login flow, it's hitting the URL https://verified.capitalone.com/signincontroller-web/signincontroller/signin which ends up returning 404, which very likely got hallucinated by an AI when some programmer (derogatory) decided to help justify their promotion package at some point.

I keep hearing that genAI is going to "revolutionize game design" so I've been doing some research into what kinds of games are using genAI as part of gameplay - that is, games where players provide some kind of input that is interpreted by an LLM like ChatGPT which then provide real-time responses.

01: A girl labeled 'Artists' is holding a drawing tablet and pen under her arm. She is wearing round glasses and a blue sweatshirt. She has messy dark-brown hair and a brown skin-tone. She says "We don't really wanna MAKE A.I. art."

02: A guy labeled 'Art Enjoyers' holds his hand out while speaking. She is wearing a purple and yellow hawaiian shirt with a floral pattern over a white t-shirt, and has red hair and a light skin-tone. He says "We don't really wanna SEE A.I. art."

03: Behind them both, there is a cute girl in a business suit with a pink tie. She is blushing a bit and has pink eyeshadow, and looks upset. Her messy shoulder-length hair is parted in the middle, and held by two hairclips: one that looks like a red arrow pointing down, and one that looks like a green arrow pointing up. She says "Um ... I-Isn't there someone you forgot to ask?" She is labeled 'Shareholders'.

04: She puffs up her cheeks and pouts, a tear is on the verge of falling from one of her eyes. 'Artist Enjoyers' Guy is now in front of her yelling "AH!! SHAREHOLDERS-CHAN!!" while 'Artists' Girl is in front of her yelling "WE'RE SORRY WE HURT YOU!!!!"

We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers. The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.

Mayor Brandon Scott has reduced crime in Baltimore by 62%, and now has the lowest homicide rate in Baltimore history. How did he do it? NOT be spending more on police. He did it by MAJOR investment in afterschool and literacy programs. Socialism works

When Joe Biden referred to "shylocks" in 2014, the ADL admonished him. I look forward to seeing the group similarly criticize President Trump for using the term today.
@ADL on X: We welcome @VP @JoeBiden’s admission he erred in describing those who take financial advantage of American servicemen & women as #shylocks.
