Been largely absent from social media (and better off for it) lately but there remains a desire to post in moderation. Twitter sucks now, so I'm giving Bluesky a go. I know you're all desperate to read my "skeets".

@AliceAvizandum Yes and I wanna meet a bunch of septuagenarian Legionnaires living quietly under NCR rule, same as what happened to the Enclave. Like how do those dudes feel about how it all went down.
@kchironis okay so on your turn you take one action, and there are three kinds of action: strategic, tactical and component. to do a strategic action I'm going to have to explain the strategy phase. so, the game happens across three phases, or four phases if a player has conquered Mecatol..
The gorilla would have the time of its life drinking an entire isle of fruit concentrate or whatever at the grocery store. I'm locking myself in a Taco Bell on the other side of the mall; we'll both have a good time.
I guess to elaborate on the net benefit thing I think that it's an impressive technology which IN FRINGE CASES will be used ethically for interesting purposes but you're an idiot or a grifter if you think that's the reason it was made or what it's going to be used for primarily.
I can't succinctly tweet my thoughts about AI generated art (I don't see it as a net benefit, for a start), but as a free thought: I've always loved the paintings of Zdzisลaw Beksiลski, who proves that we don't need machines to imagine messed-up looking guys with bad hands.
The good news is that in the real world where I spend most of my time people aren't going around simping for Elon Musk (apart from that one co-worker) so, it's a problem that can be solved by logging off. But oh! My shitposts!
It's bizarre to check the mentions of this post and see the majority of replies (at least, the ones shown at the top) berating Elton John because apparently by voicing disapproval of Twitter/Musk he's following some vague conspiratorial elite agenda. People are not okay.
All my life Iโve tried to use music to bring people together. Yet it saddens me to see how misinformation is now being used to divide our world.

Iโve decided to no longer use Twitter, given their recent change in policy which will allow misinformation to flourish unchecked.
