@valhalla_dev can you elaborate? im not a bluesky luddite but i don't see how

Artificial intelligence use in media could be hugely beneficial to progressive and anti-authoritarian movements if they abandon the Butlerian ignorance and learn how to use the tools of the oppressor against them.

@Lawyer_Animal1 Hope he's found and ok 🙏

Friends, I'm so worried. Salam went missing yesterday 😭 I searched for him and put up posters all over the camp, but I couldn't find him. He had a delicious fish meal before he left. I'll keep calling for him and searching for him. Please pray he is well and that he returns soon

@goblinodds achievement unlocked, you're now a regular, congrats

ive been getting the same pastry at my favorite shop every time i go and im p sure this is the 1st time they asked me if i wanted it warmed up and it's so much better this way wtf???

@bmock ah dammit, I'm away today. Let's talk when you're back from Granada

@plataproxima catching a 4:30 train to Madrid today, staying overnight then train to Granada tomorrow.

portugese is 1000x better than spanish to the ear

@GunHeritage @cremieuxrecueil ahaha low IQ detected

@plataproxima @cremieuxrecueil Draw yourself some bitches dawg

2026 will probably be the hottest year on record. Phoenix has already set or met 13 record highs and it's only March!

@GunHeritage @cremieuxrecueil hot is one thing. hotter is a different thing. I can draw you something if you are struggling

@cremieuxrecueil It gets hot in the desert? You’re fucking kidding me….

@bmock Santiago is awesome! I have great memories from when I was a student, not sure how the city feels when you're an adult, but it's probably very nice. Granada is just breathtakingly beautiful. Ping me when you're in Madrid!

@plataproxima 😆 ngl i am looking forward to becoming more conversant in Spanish. many fun convos im just not having. also im in Santiago de Compostela finally. madrid and Granada soon. tres mesas Granada

@bmock it really is

@plataproxima beautiful fkn country

porque no los dos?

@bmock you're gonna get yourself killed my man

spanish is flat, monotone, not enough phonemes Portuguese is electric, singy like italian but without the emotional aggression. it's like a mouth hug for the ear.

@EneaszWrites @dyvog yeah lol I'm thinking if i should delete my tweet given that people are starting to gang up. it won't stop baffling me they hate her so much, she seems a nice person

@dyvog @plataproxima she's very pretty, I'm just a bad photographer. Journalists do this all the time to people they don't like, so I feel bad that my crappy fast pic went viral. Here's another one a few minutes later

Half the local rats are at the Stop The AI Race March

@somewheresy they can always try rebuilding industry

imo — economic response Spain had basically no industry out of tourism and blew that up in a crusade downstream of their insane political zeitgeist. there is little future for Spanish working age men unless they leave

@ElTimidoTorero @RichardHanania lmao are you dumb?

@RichardHanania You can’t leave your home for a weekend without threat of an immigrant breaking in and locking you out under Spanish right to housing laws.

Young men in Spain have gone to the far right. Given that immigration to Spain has caused much fewer problems than elsewhere, this is good indication that it’s not about actual grievances, but young men turn right because they’re just kind of stupid.

@AOCmilking @McHeartattack3 @EneaszWrites yeah, she's a sex worker, so?

@plataproxima @McHeartattack3 @EneaszWrites She’s a whore lmao

@McHeartattack3 @EneaszWrites i'm quite fond of her though, i like her earnestness. this wasn't a dunk or anything, i was just surprised

@plataproxima @EneaszWrites Rare reason to be pro ai I guess.

@max_spero_ @maxsloef @aakashgupta @pangramlabs @acct the only issue ("issue") I see is that this way, visibility is lost for everyone except that user. but if replying in the thread is not possible then i agree it makes sense

@maxsloef @plataproxima @aakashgupta @pangramlabs @acct oh that's a good idea

Unfortunately some big slop accounts like @aakashgupta have blocked me and @pangramlabs. There's no good way for us to respond and tell you that we saw it, it's AI, since we're blocked and can't reply. Any suggestions on what to do in cases like this?

@max_spero_ @aakashgupta @pangramlabs this, but programmatically. just when OP has pangram blocked

@max_spero_ @aakashgupta @pangramlabs ah I see. is it possible to reply to the user tagging @pangramlabs, removing the mention to OP if they blocked the account?

@aakashgupta @pangramlabs slop?

Game designers figured this out decades ago and it cost millions in failed launches. Will Wright built SimCity with a fully accurate traffic simulation. Testers hated it. The cars behaved realistically, which meant nobody could build a functioning city because real traffic is an unsolvable nightmare. He had to make the simulation dumber before the game became fun. The tension is permanent: the more accurately you model a system, the more it punishes the participant. Real medieval economies kept 90% of the population in subsistence farming. A historically accurate fantasy world doesn't produce heroes. It produces serfs. Tolkien solved this by making his economy deliberately vague. No one knows what a gold coin buys in Gondor. That ambiguity is a design choice, not a shortcut. The Reddit post is funny. The lesson underneath it is one of the hardest problems in simulation design: fidelity and fun are opposing forces, and you have to pick which one wins.
