I was reading up about a drug on the manufacturer's website for a paid project in my other life where I'm not an erotica writer and the text was, I kid you not, AI generated. What's funny is that while I was reading I was thinking to myself that pharmacy companies are so happy to sue each other, it would be daft to use AI generated text. Yet here we are. Sigh.

What instant communication, thread-based platform do you use at least once a month?
Just trying to get an idea of the popularity of different options - multiple choices possible, please boost around!
If you think we should add some choices, please cite them in comment and I'll do a 2nd poll. They would have to be similarly thread / themes / channel - based, with a phone app but also available in the browser (e.g. maybe Matrix? But website-only platforms like Discourse would not work…

So far I don't care for how I have activityPub integrated in to #tvmarks. It tried to be a full activityPub app but I think I just want to oauth with mastodon/bluesky and make post updates to the authed account.
I guess maybe this will mess up the idea of being able to reply to a post and it shows up on the website as a comment? I'm not sure, but I'm thinking about it.

What does it tell us that AI scrapers are ignoring the more intelligent way of scraping data despite all the indications towards it?

Relative to many, my life is very good,
-- in that I am alive and housed, fed, sometimes employed.
I am healthy and loved.
Still, I am about to lose my entire mind over the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) website,
and the fact that someone,
probably a bot farmer,
has already used my 16-year-old son’s identity to establish a fraudulent account.
This is a common scam,
one that was fortunately detected before any money changed …

Now that the poll is done, thinking if something like this make sense?

@… I’m playing catch-up on your weekly updates (you no longer shows in my feed or alerts even though I follow you, which is hella annoying and I still have to debug) and think you were messing with me by generating the abstract of my Atlass post with an LLM.
If so, well done and I’m sorry I’m just seeing it.
If not, then I guess I need bet…

I strongly think that government should be where they can reach people; especially for emergencies but also for boring normal civics and politics.
This includes websites, TV, radio, print media, social media and whatever the future brings.
(Do not confuse abuse of this, as currently practiced by some western governments, with it being inherently bad.)
