It's interesting that Bluesky sends you to a Google login page to apply for verification if you're "notable," whatever that means. It's not quantified in this blog post: https://bsky.social/about/blog/04-21-2025-verification #Bluesky

@briankrebs Never in my wildest imaginings would I have foreseen the US becoming like some backward third-world dictatorship.

@tomjennings @briankrebs Fine. The Irish. The Chinese. The Muslims. The Palestinians. There's more, probably.

"When developers are allowed to use AI tools, they take 19% longer to complete issues—a significant slowdown that goes against developer beliefs and expert forecasts. This gap between perception and reality is striking: developers expected AI to speed them up by 24%, and even after experiencing the slowdown, they still believed AI had sped them up by 20%."METR: Measuring the Impact of Early-2025 AI on Experienced Open-Source Developer Productivity https://metr.org/blog/2025-07-10-early-2025-ai-experienced-os-dev-study/ More:Reuters: AI slows down some experienced software developers, study finds https://www.reuters.com/business/ai-slows-down-some-experienced-software-developers-study-finds-2025-07-10/ @Reuters #AI #opensource

@stux There's more to this group that meets the eye. Trying to find an earlier story today about them. But it's not just about porn.

@mike805 @cy @n_dimension @mttaggart Trace back the connected generation of 18-22-year-old who have crossed to the dark side. That would put you back in the early 2000s.A lot of important tech milestones happened then: https://www.zdnet.com/article/technology-that-changed-us-the-2000s/

@cy @mike805 @n_dimension @mttaggart I'm guessing that suggests it was expensive for businesses - at a large scale.

AI investments and Microsoft's CEO salaries are far more important than the value of your entire life. "That's 27,000 million dollars, or roughly 0.39 Blizzard acquisitions. If we take Glassdoor's median average game developer salary of $81,000 a year at face value, that's enough to pay the salaries of 335,802 developers for a year.""As for the entire fiscal year, Microsoft had a net income of $101.8 billion, an increase of 16%."Microsoft "has made, in the past three months, more money than any of its laid-off developers and employees will ever see in their lives. Multiple thousand lives, in fact. 4,197 if we assume they work 80 years at that median salary and then die."PC Gamer: Microsoft made $27.2 billion in 3 months and still chose to lay 9,000 people off, in case you thought there was simply no other way https://www.pcgamer.com/gaming-industry/microsoft-made-usd27-2-billion-in-3-months-and-still-chose-to-lay-9-000-people-off-in-case-you-thought-there-was-simply-no-other-way/ #Microsoft #Xbox

@cy @mike805 @n_dimension @mttaggart It does. It's probably a different price quote for businesses as well.

@aral It likely will be sabotaged after the coveted peace prize is given. Also, the foxes will be guarding the hen house:BBC: "The plan states that Hamas will have no future role in Gaza, which will be governed by a temporary transitional body of Palestinian technocrats - supervised by a 'Board of Peace' headed and chaired by Donald Trump and involving former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair."

They moved accounts to their parents or older siblings ages ago and verified with adult ID, and their parents have no clue.”"We know about algorithms, so kids are following older-people groups like gardening or over-50s walking groups, and we comment in professional language so we don’t get picked up."New Scientist: How Australian teens are planning to get around their social media ban https://www.newscientist.com/article/2507241-how-australian-teens-are-planning-to-get-around-their-social-media-ban/ @NewScientist #socialmedia

@stux There are two types of AI. - The AI models that have been running for years, dedicated to science, medicine, and genetics. These have helped personalize medical prescriptions and advance medicine, but we still have a long list of diseases, plus new ones, that haven't benefited from this AI work. It's still a win, nevertheless.- The new commercial AI bots that encompass the second part of your post and are wreaking havoc among young people and creating mass addiction. I'm still waiting for the positive effects.
