over the past few weeks several AI evaluation/cybersecurity experts have explained how what's happening is a result of human incompetence rather than "AI going rogue". I'm begging the media to show a shred of journalistic integrity and stop parroting what altman or amodei say

🚨 KOSA UPDATE The added "duty of care" standard would force websites to identify minors to avoid legal risk, pushing the internet toward ID checks, facial scans, mass age-gating, excessive data collection and censorship FOR EVERYONE. Next comes a full Senate vote. Contact your senators NOW. (1/2)

So i labeled my posts correctly, got his with an account-wide label that recently kept anyone from seeing even text posts. I got an update email regarding this that basically says every bit of media i post will still be adult labeled regardless of content anway, so uh why have per post labels?

email from bluesky moderation that reads "We’re writing with an update about how the “adult content” label is being enforced on your Bluesky account (@jayaxer.bsky.social).

This label was originally applied because some of your posts met our definition of adult content. The label exists to give people control over whether they see adult content.

Recently, we changed how the label is enforced to reduce accidental exposure for people who’ve opted out of adult content in their moderation settings. Those changes missed the mark, so we’re rolling them back and returning to the original enforcement outcome while we work on a better approach. We’ll share more before we make further changes.

What the original enforcement means for your account: All media you post (images, videos, etc.) is automatically labeled as adult content People who have disabled adult content in their settings won’t see your posts Your content will be filtered from feeds and search results for users who’ve opted out of adult material"

This is shockingly salient insight. Despair comes for us all and sometimes it gains a foothold. Good vibes or even triumphs can't banish it any more. A little hope is enough for now. Even if you only manage a bit of hope or pride in times when you're strong, that's enough, it makes a difference.

The way to do this is to quit imposing your worthless modbot on every image. You have only continued to discourage accurate use of YOUR OWN MODERATION SYSTEM by relying on a god-awful piece of trash. That applies punitive, misleading, or - VERY frequently - blatantly incorrect labels BY DEFAULT.

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads:

The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.

And our governments are very much the same...

A healthy film industry makes sleazy movies. Weird, borderline kink films are like coal mine canaries- they're offensive, often deeply personal, and a foil to the clean blandness of big budget propaganda. A lack of bizarre "not to everyone's taste" films is an indicator of a sickly studio ecosystem.
