A BEVERAGE OF SORTS?

This is starting to sound more like a personal vendetta against Musk over singular issues than anything.

Sorry, I thought that part would have been obvious when I called him "the Musk Rat" in my first comment. And I'm not even saying that Musk is the only thing wrong with Twitter, or even the worst thing that's wrong with it, but I do think that his influence has made and is making Twitter a worse place than it would have been without him, and therefore Bluesky is technically better than X for not having that influence.

From what I and others have seen, Bluesky is showing the same signs that it's about to go into the same purity spirals that made Twitter inhospitable. The Hollywood actors with TDS who fled there only to find out that they weren't ideologically pure enough for their peers found that out the hard way. Again, culture problem, not a platform/ownership problem. Even if they find some way to address, all it would do is alleviate the problem while the main contagion moves on elsewhere. And that's probably the best case scenario.
Time will tell how it turns out. Not like i have much stake in the issue, seeing as I've pretty much disconnected from most social media and whatever engagement i have with the few I use is almost entirely limited to shooting quips and jokes (i think this is the closest thing I've had to a conversational exchange on DB).

EDIT: Turns out that the ToS for Bluesky also states right upfront that they permit themselves to use user content in any media for stuff like promotional material (Sect 2.B.ii), as well as remove or modify it for any reason (iv). Which pretty much leaves the door open for the implementation of AI as well. If not soon, it'll probably be later down the line.

Ignoring politics, Bluesky-chan's design is very cute.

Musk himself seeming to take glee in the idea of making artists and other creatives "obsolete" (not that I think art bots will ever fully replace human artists, but that seems to be the outcome that Musk is hoping will happen).

gotta love people just assuming what people they never meet or interact with think and hope will happen.
He wants to train his pet AI and you can opt out of GROK using your material.

Honestly that's the problem, it should be opt in, not opt out. If you're not aware they're taking your data then the default is them saying you're okay with them taking your data when most people would answer they're not okay with it.

"I wish people would stop crediting artists on Twitter when any fool can find out who the artist was in seconds. It's destroying the medium. The constant credit crowd are damaging the ethetics [sic] of the internet. Don't like them at all. And if they don't like me, too bad."

That quote was taken from actual tweets Musk made way back in 2022. The guy's been on a crusade about how artists are apparently tyrants for wanting people to credit them when they use their work since long before the current Grok debacle, and generative AI is how he's going to free us from the oppression of having to give a shit where the anime art we pass around comes from. You know, because that's what's really ruining the internet, obviously.

Ya can argue about it, or eat your bloody expensive, crappy chicken sammich!

I kinda hate that I actually find the five dollar meal deal that includes this thing not too bad. Then I’m reminded of what once was. My two for two McDoubles man…

They must be in season.

Careful you don't break it off in there.

Reg Ass Pov:

This looks very similar to the thumbnail of "Absolute Territory" by Ken Ashcorp.

Looks like this artist's twitter account (hamna_0071) was hacked or something.

Bro that's so good
