NYC seems to be leading the charge in both publishing audits of AI tools used by the city and mandating that agencies operating in the city do the same. Obviously, holistic regulation is complex, but hopefully this type of transparency becomes mainstream.

I wish there was a way to not see the full handles of people in posts because it’s visually so ugly. Just be like Facebook and hide the handles until tapped, show the full name instead maybe?

Getting absolutely smashed bar hopping on a Friday night still in your work clothes and with your work backpack and then burning the roof of your mouth on with hot pizza at night is so underrated (jk I’m too old for this)

I am the Type A obsessive planner in our relationship and I complained to my boyfriend that I’m tired of planning so he’s taking me to NYC for a whole weekend on a surprise itinerary and somehow the uncertainty is even more nerve wracking?

I’m convinced whoever designed Workday UX must have also designed the Denver airport. I’ve literally never experienced a more confusing layout. It’s like a Frankenstein where everything exists but not where you expect it to be, and there’s very little direction 😭

A friend was shopping for rings and picked out one that had a curly ridge in between filled with diamonds and I told him that it looks like a scallop and neither him nor the store person believed me

So I went dancing with my friend at a club in Milwaukee and a very nice woman said “you’re the most gorgeous person I have ever seen, your outfit is everything” and then bought me a drink and hugged me and left? The absolute lack of creepy sexual attention with the free drink has me smitten 🥰

I must be the only person I know in my circle that does not listen to podcasts, and I’ll likely keep it that way because I’m too much of a visual learner to ever get anything useful from a podcast

The more I read LLM papers (and not hype articles) the more I am starting to believe that AI related existential crises are 1. A hoax to keep development closed source so companies can profit off of models 2. A cash grab for people who are good at marketing but bad at CS 🤷🏽‍♂️

Thank you. This is quite disgusting. Nobody is saying you have to agree with someone’s politics etc but wholesale denying access is an anti academic phenomenon that hurts everyone. Accountability is a universally good thing.

@support.bsky.team can the share links please be staging.bsky.app instead of bsky.app? Manually typing that in everytime feels unnecessary -- this could be changed back when the app is out of beta?

Just walked past my old apt and saw that the window AC I installed crooked is still there, though the apt has changed tenants 3 times since. I think everyone who lived there is too afraid to take it out because as soon as you lift the window pane it will fall and kill someone ✌️
