Smoke EX

Event in the Discord 3/4 Movie Night. Dm for invite, 8pm CST. Content schedule coming soon. Streaming on some days, guides on some days. I'll be on spaces again later this week. 🫶🏼

Getting assessed all day today, hopefully I'll be a little bit more active once I can get some help setting up my accessibility stuff on my phone or I can use a mouse with my laptop. Once I'm able to do that I'll try to do like a space or talk to some of you guys a little bit more. It's just hard at the moment

For intensive rehab it's projected to be anywhere from 4 to 16 weeks to just get my mobility and stuff back, for overall recovery to walk properly again is probably going to be about 6 months to a year. I'm getting a lot of feeling back but everything is still not really working right .

@SmokeEx Good to hear from you Smoke, glad you’re on your way to recovery. How long is the rehab projected?

Quick status update guys, just got to the rehab center of working on getting back to where I can move around a little bit more and feeling pretty good. Still in a lot of pain, but appreciate all the support I've gotten. Gotten I'll try to post everyday just to keep you guys updated. I might even do a space.

@dromanocpm Thank you so much guys, sorry I wasn't able to respond sooner. First time I've been able to actually use my phone, I got a stylus strapped to my hand and I'm just happy to be here. Lots of love

A dear friend of the AI Jam Community @SmokeEx recently suffered a massive injury which will require a long road to recovery. Please join me in wishing our brother well wishes and a speedy healing process. 🙏

I definitely would like to do that, the rehab place that I'm at is at the moment. I'm the only one here. My mother is not with me at the moment. I told her to kind of get some rest and then see me once I'm situated. But I will try to keep in touch. It's hard for me to do messages because I'm using the voice to text, but I have a little bit more mobility in my hands right now so I'm using a stylus to access X

@SmokeEx Tell your mom that she needs to check in with us if you can't. I want updates. NOW. Praying for your speedy recovery. I hope you are thinking of some amazing lyrics while you are on bed rest.

In the hospital currently in the ICU movie night not happening.

@d2fl I get you gtok just can't determine the difference though

I am trying to nail down whether there is code that supports your test that all videos without the AI Label get a coarse deboost via the VisibilityLib (same thing that deboosts NSFW, etc). I don't know the answer yet, but I do know this: All videos without the Content label get early deboosting—or none do. There is no intake code that can read the pixels or otherwise look at the content to determine if it is conflict-related or not. So if you post an AI conflict video with only the preface "You gotta see this!" and then the video, nothing in the recommendation code from 2023, 2024, or 2025 is able to determine it is conflict-related fast enough to affect the velocity vectors generated by early engagement. Does this make sense to you?

Addendum as of March 4th, 3 p.m. I am now able to add the tag with the latest update of Android. Which shows at any point they could fix the Android app but they choose not to. Unless it's a business imperative update, proving that it's a second-class ecosystem.

@JRPMUSIC I agree but all policy without testing tends to be vague

@SmokeEx The rules on this seem to vague for my liking too.

@theonecid Too a better ecosystem and experience

@SmokeEx Yep just updated to 11.70 too

@JRPMUSIC It probably is, but I can't confirm one way or the other that is like other criteria

@SmokeEx I feel having that label is throttling reach anyway.

@Exogynous @xdNiBoR There has been a recent update

@SmokeEx @xdNiBoR Mine is 11.69.0

Can confirm after some "quasi-scientific" testing the AI Label must be used on content grok can detect as synthetic. They will throttle you post if you don't. (Someone just copy pasted how NSFW content works looks like) Core Android still does not support the new labels.

@ferr12402 That would explain how inefficient this app is, but no, no one in the military runs this.

@SmokeEx Someone told me that a black ops division of the US military runs this app. Is that true or false or somewhat true? Also I understand if you choose not to respond
