This is why, on Bluesky, we block instead of engage.

With news of a reported settlement with Anthropic I went back to check the class action form and it now allows authors outside the US to input their address, so it may be worth adding your known pirated titles (from the LibGen pirate database) www.lieffcabraser.com/anthropic-au...

I find it funny when an animated movie for an original IP that wasn't meant to be a big deal ends up making bank, and then every executive is left wondering how it happened. The answer is then always that the movie had a coherent and well-crafted story, looked cool, and had good music. Every time.

Idk if anyone needs to hear this buuuuuuuut just in case it resonates with anybody else out there Imma say it: You pay for commissions with MONEY. Not snacks, not video games, not art supplies you think the artist will like. Unless the artist EXPLICITLY SAYS OTHERWISE, you pay up with MONEY.

We must unite against AI the way Shelley and Lovelace united against Byron.

when the AI bubble finally collapses and everyone who spent a year smugly hyping it suddenly has to come crawling back with their tail between their legs, i just want to say i am not going to be the bigger person about it. i am going to be meaner than you can even believe

I love how I expected Dr. Frizzle to walk into a room with a bunch of old church elders shouting "burn the witch" at her boss and this is only 13% inaccurate

Have you or someone you know been harassed, stalked, or verbally abused by someone who is clearly using ChatGPT or a similar bot to compose their messages? Have you gotten the sense that the LLM is enabling their threatening behavior? Looking to hear from you — email me at mklee@rollingstone.com

We should just get ahead of this for once and ban all AI aimed at children. In the classroom, toys, and social media. Just hard limit.

This was a disgusting display by the soft, uninformed VP Vance trying to school Zelensky, the man who has led his country through the most surprisingly resilient and effective fight for sovereignty against a global superpower. Every negative stereotype about America is confirmed in this exchange.

It's warm outside and the honeybees are out and these small delights are carrying me through today.

our university just sent us a statement reaffirming its commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, community, integrity, learning, and excellence as core values and doubled down on our anti-discrimination, academic freedom, and freedom of political expression policies and ngl, I cried a little

Bonus points if you use this word in your next 'Out Of Office' reply.

Fuck you, you disrespectful, self-serving, loathsome piece of shit. I've never seen anything like that Oval Office meeting. JD Cuck can also eat shit. We're the laughing stock of the world thanks to these grifter white-nationalist fucks.
