Hey folks 👋 We’re about a month into the spaces alpha! From what I can tell, it’s going along pretty nicely. We pushed out one breaking change about two weeks back, but it’s been pretty stable apart ...

I hate how the AI hype bros have pivoted towards faking simulating fruit fly brains. at least, I'm pretty sure it's fake, because the way people post about it suggests it's all bark and no byte.

report accounts harassing trans people to @moderation.northsky.social we'll label them AND the **big accounts** who encourage and permit their followers to harass trans people in their threads this kind of harassment gets trans people killed, and is the kind of "dog-piling" that requires action.

hey why is no one talking about the licensing situation with this A24/SCP thing? are they releasing it under the same cc-by-sa license every SCP project is required to have? are they betting creative commons won't hold up in court? seems like the kind of question a journalist should look into idk

A24 is potentially doing something really fucked up here, but also they have the opportunity to do something extremely fucking cool and make the movie Creative Commons people would still pay to see it in theaters. but you want to benefit from a community project? then contribute to it

It's honestly embarrassing seeing a number of people reply to this by saying "how dare you ban trans culture and its sacred rites." And... look, I dunno, but you couldn't waterboard that out of me. I'd like to think we aren't defined by toxic behavior.

The great thing about Bluesky is that you can create Moderation Lists and block everyone on those lists so you're not left wondering why you've blocked someone.

Apparently no country has renamed itself for the bit, but ICANN docs say people have tried to get new “country” names into ISO 3166 specifically to obtain a ccTLD, and calls the attempts “absolutely futile.” Tuvalu did the saner inverse: keep the name, discover .tv is money.

every single person pushing this angle is intellectually bankrupt. The data centers being built today are for NOTHING other than AI compute, and are much, much larger and more destructive. If none of them got built, services like online banking, social media and streaming would continue to function.

there's a pretty simple connection here 1. humans become good at what they practice doing 2. outsourcing to an AI or even other people, means you have stopped doing the thing 3. if you stop doing the thing, you will stop improving, and, long term, get worse at it (cont.)

they misconfigured a sandbox. The fact you can't understand that speaks more to your technical illiteracy than anything else.

Unlike other incidents, the models in question did not escape their sandbox via misconfiguration but rather through cyber exploits, chaining multiple zero- day exploits to gain internet access. openai.com/index/hugging-...

I don't think we NEED to choose just one option. Both can work for different needs and products. When talking about the ATmosphere, we are not talking about only Bluesky (even though the biggest user base is here, there are other apps growing too). Even talking about Bluesky microblog, I can see +

honestly i wonder where atproto will even be at in like 5 years from now. i dont think it's really taken off; it doesnt feel like it's on any kind of trajectory towards taking off; idk. it'd be kinda neat if it ended up as a common implementation detail but i rarely see where that'd be valuable?

I don't think enough people are saying this. Like or dislike AI in general or any aspect of it; can't we all come together and agree that the fact that we've created *machines that talk* is pretty incredible. It's a moon-landing sort of thing. It's "Look what we can do."

I don't know if I'm just not understanding something or what, but why does the Next.js OAuth tutorial **let the client determine who they are?** Is this not a severe security problem? The client could just lie and say they're someone who has already logged in. #atdev atproto.com/guides/oauth...
