I've never picked up a collection like this before, never mind preordered one. This just came this morning (got here early!). It has a gorgeous, glossy finish. I'm so excited! @tkrex.bsky.social @stelliform.press
They brought on the guy who cowrote a book about AI transforming into Skynet so that their token liberal can have someone to share his completely uninformed AI takes with. I like Novara, their work is really informative, but their AI reporting is pure trash
This is what Bluesky shows me when I try to view my profile. I love Bluesky, this is my favourite app
Yesterday I finished reading Karen Hao's "Empire of AI". It's fantastic investigative journalism into the AI industry that demystifies LLM data collection + training + annotation + data as the latest frontier of colonialism. I HIGHLY recommend it; it's useful for understanding the topic at any level
They can still be read but they're hidden from immediate view. You must have pissed off too many Dems lol
I got blocked for this interaction????? I guess that makes me a Republican lol
Yeah, sure, whatever, Glenn Greenwald is TOTALLY the dude I would go to to have US empire explained to me
I hit the YouTube algorithm jackpot. They're serving me stuff like this now
So the Trump administration is taking its genocidal rhetoric against immigrants to the next level by using Halo memes as a vehicle for exterminationist propaganda, and the Nazi piece of human shit who co-composed the Halo theme is applauding it
I'll admit that I picked this up on a whim just for its title alone. Book is "Did the Science Wars Take Place?" by William Gillis. This is a topic I've heard about but have never engaged with (outside that one Dr. Fatima video, but that's just a YT essay) so l'm pretty interested in learning more
In August 2024, user sHNeon suggested to the author of a rewrite that they should add tags to their article. After being informed of the relevant guidelines (Staff is responsible for tagging, not authors), the user edited their post with an apology. That was their only comment. A simple slip-up! 9/
This one baffles me. User poouu, also singled out for low engagement, had their sole comment attached. In April 2025, Poou wrote (in impeccable English) that they are Chinese, and that they joined with the hopes of giving feedback. Maybe they haven't yet—but with a 3-month ban, they sure won't. 8/
- User Aegnus was initially banned for engaging with the Wiki in bad faith. It was decided after a 2nd look that the user had been a constructive commenter and prolific translator, and there were grounds to reverse their ban. As in, only high engagement is an indicator of good faith interaction. /7
Since the bans went into effect, a few of them had updates: - User Kanie Ja successfully appealed their 3-month ban. It has since been lifted. - User TomJens, who translated SCP-268-J into Chinese from English, was identified as having been erroneously banned. The ban was reversed. 6/
Moving on to the next justification, three CN users are singled out for: A. Having low activity (images 1 and 3). B. Having a gap in otherwise normal activity (image 2). User TRhine (image 1) is even identified as a quiet reader, with zero comments. Is low engagement an indicator of bad faith? /5
User Rovong also comments in simple English. What distinguishes Rovong from the others is that in April 2025, he translated the article "The Emperor Of Many Voices" from English into Chinese. Is translating an article not enough of an indication of good faith? 05command.wikidot.com/forum/t-1716...
Take user xkdd, who voted 325 times during their 1st day on the Wiki. Possible vote spam? Not necessarily; there may be valid reasons. It's possible that the user read the articles before they joined, and voted after. Or maybe they read CN translations of articles and mirrored their votes on EN. /3
