  • Re the blocking of fake useragents, what people could try is see if there are things older useagents do (or do wrong) which these do not. I heard of some companies doing that. (Long ago I also heard of somebody using that to catch mmo bots in a specific game. There was a packet that if the server send it to a legit client, the client crashed, a bot did not). I'd assume the specifics are treated as secret just because you don't want the scrapers to find out.

  • lol that tweet. But yeah why don't the people who write dystopian fiction about the torment nexus and the people who want to build torment nexusses together? Don't they want to understand why we cannot make life slightly better for the poor tortured kid?

  • Yeah, the image was quite tame and I don't think we should ban all female robots, I do agree with the point that there are too many conventionally attractive bald female coded robots being used as imagery next to robots, but I also don't think we should overreact and remove them all. Not like pivot has not used a lot of other robot images, including Rosey. And part of the problem pivot is talking about is that the pro robot/ai people see robots/ai as doing the roles beneath them (ai as maid/nurse/secretary), so an image like that while being critical also fits. And it also is just part of the American cartoon artstyle the Russian artist is going for. It was just a small badly timed thread on bsky anyway (as it was at the same time as the other guy here), lets not make a big thing out of it.

  • I saw people complain his characters had no debt and character or something because they all were so agreeable, and I was a bit confused. (I have not read any of his earlier work, some of it I wanted to read but never got around to, mentally pushed it further upward now) but it was odd to see that comment after reading this short story. I mean yes they were agreeable (after all they had to work together) but it revealed a lot of character. This bit alone: '“So what do you call mine?” Ken asked bravely. “Peak Conformist,” Helen replied. Ken laughed, unoffended.'

  • I'm on a diet of rocks, glue on my pizza, lead paint, and covid infections, according to Grok this is called the Mr Burns method which should prevent diseases, as they all work together to block all bad impulses. Can't wait to try this new garlic oil I made, using LLM instructions. It even had these cool bubbles while fermenting, nature is great.

  • For the purpose of this post, “getting famous” means “building a large, general (primarily online) audience of people who agree with/support you”.

    Finally a usage for those AI bots. Silo LW, bot audience it, and problem solved
