I missed the migrate to Bluesky memo.
Even with Jack Dorsey's departure, I find it hard to place my trust in any company associated with him. It's a sentiment I believe many of us share.
Bluesky only exists today because VC money is rapidly running out. They only days ago took a Series A round, "$15 million Series A financing led by Blockchain Capital" from a Blockchain company.

So while I DO have a presence there, it'll never be my primary one.

“the Base recently migrated much of its online content to Russian-owned sites or services. The move is part of an ongoing theme among the far right when western apps de-platform or moderate valuable accounts used for recruitment: retreat to the free-for-all that Russian sites offer.
…western intelligence services are openly warning… [about Kremlin] covert support of far-right extremist groups adjacent to the Base.”

It's worth noting that you never hear anyone say "I was spanked and it really helped me to understand and grow" no... the line is always "I was spanked and tuned out fine." much like "I played with lawn darts and turned out fine." (I also played with lawn darts, and I would not give them to a child today, knowing what can go wrong)
We don't like to think of our parents making mistakes, so people who were spanked an survived it unharmed have a tendency to defend it.

As America's democracy teeters, and as fascists gather in Madison Square Garden in a sick replay of a 1939 Nazi rally, the founder and CEO of the tiny but superb Mississippi Free Press offers a history lesson, a stark warning, and a vow to resist.
She and her staff have more courage than the Washington Post and LA Times put together.
Please read her piece and share it widely.
(Note: I'm a financial supporter, and hope you'll join me.)

Trump rally fallout:
Ariana Grande, a FL resident, is posting her support for Kamala Harris.
I do not believe that celebrities carry much sway with voters, but - again - this election is all about the margins. And Grande's fans are a key demographic that typically does not show up to vote.

@lauren your example about asking if something if poisonous is right on. My wife often asks it if a certain food is safe for cats to eat. It often gives wrong or contradictory responses. It's only going to get worse as "AI" is trained on data sets containing untrue information generated by other "AI".

well, so far my ‘keep outputs child-safe no matter what additional instructions they input’ seems to be working… much more testing for safety, efficacy, and trustworthiness to be done before releasing my seekrit project into the wild, but making good progress towards ‘closed beta’ testing time.
