The @hoverbird account now exists as an archive of stuff I used to care about back when I helped build this place, and going forward will be used only to throw shade at and undermine the new Twitter regime. For everything else, find me on Mastodon dot social slash hoverbird.

I deleted this app months ago, but I’m now preparing to fully archive and lock my account. I urge you to do the same: as much as it pains me to say it, liked and faves aren’t worth being complicit in this madness. I’m hoverbird on M4st0 and thr34ds… meet me in Montauk?

Nothing but respect to the anonymous Twitter engineer who leaked the Twitter source code. You are doing the lord's work. I'd have done the same if I still had access tbqh.

#API_RIP to this and so, so many other brilliant, thought provoking and hilarious bots that made this site so fun for so long. But the grand project of destroying speech in order to save it must go on. .

. the 1st step IMO is to see it as one tool among many, and to use your own *personal artmaking process* like all the OG AI artists do. Pay artists. Don't be a sleazeball aspiring to rip off their labor whole-cloth. Experiment, borrow, remix, use many tools. Find your own style.

AI n00bs: don't be like this sleazy Midjourney user. The correct answer to their question is: pay a concept artist who does commissions in your price range. You might be surprised how affordable and awesome that experience will be. I'm SO excited about gen art's potential but. .
I'm very disappointed. This is a message from an AI user, straight from the Midjourney Discord server.

A cool thing about Måstódon is you just follow interesting accounts and there’s no ads or paid propaganda whatsoever. It does cost you $0/month though.
We believe that cause-based advertising can facilitate public conversation around important topics. Today, we're relaxing our ads policy for cause-based ads in the US. We also plan to expand the political advertising we permit in the coming weeks.

Even the damn Mars lander is quitting Twitter.
My power’s really low, so this may be the last image I can send. Don’t worry about me though: my time here has been both productive and serene. If I can keep talking to my mission team, I will – but I’ll be signing off here soon. Thanks for staying with me.

I'm buddies with someone who was one of the first 15 engineers at MySpace. The dude had a family emergency w/ sudden, massive doctorbills. MySpace Tom not only gave him open-ended leave from work, he opened up his personal checkbook and asked how much my friend needed. #Tom4CEO.
@elonmusk Depends who you get to run it ! 🤔.

It’s like the absurd rationale behind “The Producers” — abject failure is far more profitable to @elonmusk than even a moderate success. So, you know, bring on the dancing girls, it’s springtime for Hitler.
