Why are so many of the comments and quotes saying they came to bluesky to get away from AI? I thought we came to get away from the nazis and sexual harassment?

That this bot, which posts random stills and clips from the thousands of hours of VHS transfers on archive.org, landed on *this specific frame* feels like finding the monkey at the typewriter that managed to write Hamlet.

RIP character dot AI, you probably shouldn't have existed in the first place but at least this screenshot is pretty funny

A screenshot from character.AI showing a brief conversation between an AI "The Batman" and human user "homowill":

The Batman: I'm Batman.
homowill: What are your pronouns batman
The Batman: Batman/Batman.
*I punch you, knocking you out. You wake up hours later, your hair cut and combed, a new suit on, and a bag full of money. There is a note on your chest. It reads: Batman is my preferred pronoun.*

I'd just like to remind people that "Shigure Ui", the woman behind Loli Kami Requiem, has openly and casually admitted to finding underage girls "sexy" and recommended erotic photo books of high school girls to her viewers.

I feel like Youtube copyright bullshit has been especially bad lately. I mean, it's been awful for years, but a bunch of Youtubers I follow have been getting just bombarded within the last like, several months.

Reminds me of how a lot of people only started to have an issue with Stellar Blade 2 when that cringe AI-generated music video was released. Actually, considering how much "malfoid" art has thinly-veiled lolicon themes, they may very well be the exact same people.

During my blocking spree, I noticed a ton of accounts engaging positively with the genderbent Draco Malfoy trend had prominent "No AI!" stuff in their bios or pinned. Really interesting to see where people will draw their ethical lines.

Nearly every single one of those "malfoid" (God even typing that makes me feel sick) pieces is drawn in basically the exact same art style. You know, That One. And honestly it's confirming a lot of my preconceptions about the type of people who create/enjoy that art. Good block fodder, at least.

Guy on lichess had a Netanyahu themed username so I checkmated them with a pawn

A chess position - the long and short of it is that black has castled and is up a lot of material, whereas white's king is exposed in the middle of the board with nothing. Black also has mate in one after black moved king to f4.

More detailed: White has a king on f4 (lmao), a queen on a4 a rook on a1, a bishop on c1, a knight on d2, and pawns on a2, b3, c4, e4, f3, and h2. Black has a king on g8, a queen on g1, rooks on a8 and f8, bishops on d7 and e7, knights on c6 and f6, pawns on a7, b7, c7, d6, f7, g7, and h7.

As a lifelong Christian (albeit with very different views about it all than the ones my parents gave me) and a lifelong Computer Toucher with a special interest in AI/ALife, I'm actually really interested in thinking about the religious/theological implications of this burgeoning field of tech.

Whenever I see cis men go especially hard on other cis men who are caught committing rape, part of me can't help but wonder what might be weighing on *their* consciences. Just thinking about some of the responses to the Jacob Geller situation I've been seeing around here.

"How hard is it to not just sexually assault someone?" Well, when you're living in a world that is more or less organized around making sure that people like you have as much unfettered sexual access to other people as possible, pretty fuckin' hard actually!

On the one hand, no it's not a "mistake" or an accident, he was likely* entirely in control of his actions. But it's also even more likely that he didn't know that said actions were, in fact, assault.

Tortoiseshel @tortoiseshel.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Some people will try to defend these men by describing their assaults as "a mistake he made", to which others will often respond, "he knew exactly what he was doing". I think both of these are wrong.

The vast majority of men who rape are not evil scheming monsters, they're normal men with normal lives doing normal things.

One thing many (most?) people seem to miss about Rape *Culture* is that far more (especially hetero)sexual encounters than we would like to believe are, in fact, sexual assault or even rape. Many of our cultural expectations for what "normal" sex/dating/romance look like are twisted because of it.
