Today on NovaLandia: "VAL3R1E: The AI Assisted Music Project, and What's This All About?" So, I'm sure a lot of people, or at least some people, remain apprehensive. Some probably angry, banging their fists against a wall, plopping some deuces on the ground, or what-have-you. That's fine, ... https://mkultra.monster/music/2026/08/11/val3r1e-explained/ #ai #experiment #fediverse #llms #bluesky

This is why I'm tracking unfollows with a script, so that I can server block potential future stalkers and harassers

It's not lost on me that a guy talking about how we should be running an AI over our code in order to prepare for future vulnerabilities doesn't really provoke a hostile reaction from fedizens, while at the same time if I mention AI at all even in the slightest the hall monitors try to kill my online presence

Work stuff, ASD, strange accusations Hover or focus to reveal Sensitive

So, there’s this guy at work, and I’m not sure how to respond to this stuff, but he’s kind of being neurotic/hyper-vigilant about what he perceives to be stalking and harassment, and in his reports: first thing he mentions, “I don’t know if this is because of my ASD, but …” and then lists a slew of instances of his coworkers making small talk and telling him jokes, and him taking it to mean they’re out to get him

so, the reason i dropped VRC a year ago and hadn't come back until now, is because I met a guy in VRC, and this is weird because my sexuality seems to be in constant flux, but anyway, i thought he liked me we hung out every night, watched movies, chit-chatted and played games then he invited me to a discord where he a numerous handfuls of people just like me, and I was sickened by it lol I quit

I think it's hard to make new connections online, because social media has been around for such a long time now, and so have the people using it, and then you know, people develop these expectations in their heads that they're looking for in every single person they interact with And I think I've finally decided that's nuts, and also sucks ass?

About Me Hover or focus to reveal Sensitive

Throughout my time on the fediverse I've seen a lot. Months (before writing this) I had a couple instances and a large group of ridiculous people (trans men + their allies) calling for the silencing of myself and my instance because I said "misandry isn't real" (it's not), and misogyny/transmisogyny is a growing problem on fedi.

About Me Hover or focus to reveal Sensitive

I have an extensive backlog of releases/albums, I'm running my own grid on OpenSim, have multiple servers, and yes Sometimes I use AI. I find it interesting, and like to poke around and make weird stuff with it. This makes some people mad, because apparently we haven't all graduated high school and some are susceptible to being manipulated by strangers who want control over you and everything else You won't get that from me.

So I'm basically writing this in order to keep the fedi hall monitors, the abusers, and the people who just generally suck, _out_. I'm a trans woman (currently closeted), I'm a musician, a writer, a webdev, and have years of experience. I'm behind projects like Eyeshadow 2600 FM (which you may remember from pre-2020 days), and I used to go by "Meryl". Nowadays it's mostly "Nova" or "Valerie"
