i am sorry to say it's the actual AI image the story is about!

poptart is fine :-)

looks like our sneer comrade DisneylandDiplomat (disney6830 on discord), who did the Thinkateria rationalist-parody blog, died in Oct 2022. From Reddit Sneerclub:

Hello, I am writing since I saw this sub is a bit active again. I am wondering if anyone remembers the blog “thinkateria” or the reddit user DisneylandDiplomat who often posted links to promote it here. he was my little brother and he killed himself in October of 2022, after deleting the blog, and I only saw his reddit activity afterwards. I think it was satirical writing making fun of these other bloggers discussed here. He was very private and this sub is really the only insight into his state of mind at that time that I have. There’s no point to this post except I feel a need to share that he is gone and this is the only place I know he had any connections with. It must have been hard for everyone who talked about this so early on.

thinking how Tony Albanese was actually a reasonably cool guy of mainly good views for decades, then he becomes PM and has his spine replace with lime jelly.

IIRC this was the post that made Daniel Harper start his nazi-tracking podcast I Don't Speak German

Peter Kyle is an excellent speaker but has rotated through 1000 portfolios and can be assumed to have zero subject area knowledge, or negative in the case of tech

just the sort of ML we already see deployed in social media T&S for triage

correction - they won a key ruling that means they won most of the case

awful systems heartily endorses this moderation style

Steve Farrugia just mounted his sideways.

the trouble with VESA mounting is if the screws suck lol

what were they?

like I'd expect if those sucked they'll suck. They're basically laptop screens as a standalone.

rahaeli on bluesky says this is fine, it's the same ML that any T&S dept already has to apply to triage the firehose of shit, and doesn't involve LLMs

my god incredible, what a clever and likable fellow

christ this is dumb as shit

read the paper, they're very stupid also
