@qualitychaos Nice, you managed to disrupt the filter. Thanks for sharing.

Observation: I've experienced more viral blog posts since I left Twitter last May than I had being on Twitter for 15 years prior to that.
Anyway, my server's CPU usage literally went "off the chart" or "through the roof" today (see picture) and I don't think that's happened before đ
This happened in connection with Eugen boosting my post about TikTok filters. The affected service is my Ghost blog.
This Akkoma instance that I'm using for my Fediverse presence I've put on a separate server, which I'm learning now was a good call.

Wow that song is too good...! đŹ
@selea Ja den fick sig lite skrĂ€mselhicka tydligen. Det var en ganska spetsig linje i statistiken! đ
@karllouis Have you been able to reach it now? I do think my site was overloaded with traffic at one point.
@pippa Have you been able to reach it now? I think my site was overloaded with traffic at one point.

TÀnkte den tanken ocksÄ. OtÀckt.
@marinade
Fascinating. Thanks for sharing! I've been made aware that it treats masculine features differently but this was a brilliant test of that.
@ben According to the young people in the videos they themselves are surprised. They are surprised by the lack of glitches and artifacts, and the fact that they can cover half of their face with a mug and the filter is unchanged.
You're saying this level of quality has been going on for years?
Sometimes I reflect on how social media strategists kept telling brands to be more "genuine" online. And how that made everything less genuine.

Welcome to post-reality.
Yes, it scares me too.
@ambivalena
HÄller med. Det Àr nÄgon form av grÀns som passerats. Jag blev helt hÀpen nÀr jag sÄg det första gÄngen.
SvÄrt att förhÄlla sig till.
I don't think everyone is aware of just how far the TikTok filters have come when it comes to changing people's appearance in real-time, with no latency and no visual artifacts.
I've compiled two videos showcasing the new beauty filter and the teen filter, if you're curious:

I wouldntâ say Iâm risk averse
but arenât things just much much worse
when that smart thing in your purse
is a megaphone for vicious slurs
as if that is how we define diverse
now asking me to deep-immerse
and I cannot find reverse
need to power through the curse
as no oneâs left to reimburse
now this chariot may be a hearse
fuelled forward by a truth-disperse.
This has been my meta verse.
Goodbye Dickinson, hello AI-generated literature
This is a write-up I did after @chrisnoessel informed me that @clarkesworld had paused taking submissions last week.
The reason being too many AI-generated stories were being submitted.

â ïž Adjö Dickinson, hallĂ„ AI-genererad litteratur
Samma hyllade AI-verktyg som sparar tid Ät en grupp mÀnniskor kommer stjÀla mycket tid och skapa mycket huvudvÀrk för andra. Verktygen tvingar bland annat att vi ritar om kartan för hur litterÀra verk publiceras. Vi stÄr inför en lavinartad ökning av böcker skrivna av maskiner, och redan nu har redaktörer tvingats pausa inlÀmningar av nya verk för att försöka hitta en hanterbar vÀg framÄt.
I nulÀget experimenterar mÄnga mÀnniskor med att anvÀnda ChatGPT och liknande verktyg för att skriva allt ifrÄn romaner till scifi-noveller och barnböcker, komplett med illustrationer frÄn andra generativa verktyg online.
För den som hyser författardrömmar gÄr det att att pÄ mindre Àn ett dygn framstÀlla en fÀrdig e-bok och publicera den pÄ Amazon.
Du kan bokstavligen bli författare över en natt.

@bagger NĂ€r du boostar sĂ„ dyker det upp i Federated Timeline för alla som Ă€r pĂ„ samma instans som du (mastodon.nu). SĂ„ det fĂ„r absolut mer effekt Ă€n du kanske först tror. đ
