We need something like this here in the States (this is only for UK charities). Generative AI / LLM technology is already becoming one of most significant competitive differentiators and yes... charities absolutely compete with each other, for-profits, and even government agencies for resources.

This scenario it's precisely why we should've abolished our political duopoly and the Electoral College long ago. But, sure, let's keep whining about how ineffectual the impeachment tool is - as though the duopoly and EC aren't exactly why impeachment and other checks are now effectively useless.

Our political duopoly and electoral college are far more significant structural problems for our democracy - and directly enabled this MAGA fascist regime. Yet, of course, middle aged white men of privilege virtually never address those two Leave No White Man Behind structural inequities.

The No Kings protest map will help you find a place to exercise your First Amendment rights this weekend. (It's also a pretty good argument against the Electoral College.) www.nokings.org

Nobody can look at Trump getting elected twice and believe authenticity genuinely means anything to much of the American electorate. They know he's a bullsh!t artist. But they don't care because what they really want is strength - both to be protected and avenged.

“If your tactics disrupt the order of things under capitalism, you may well be accused of violence, because violence is an elastic term often deployed to vilify people who threaten the status quo.” — “Let This Radicalize You” by @mskellymhayes.bsky.social & @prisonculture.bsky.social

"Ending a $5 million research study when it is 80% complete does not save $1 million, it wastes $4 million" In "The Bethesda Declaration," over 300 NIH employees take a big risk to point out flaws in the new administration's actions.

Simply mind-blowing how self-righteous immigrants don't understand that having come here "the right way" will not protect them from MAGA fascism for very long.

Yeah, I haven't over-thought a problem that was easier than I initially believed since, whew, I don't know... last Tuesday? But even I acknowledge that LLM models will probably never come close to having and then rationalizing confirmation bias quite like an anti-LLM extremist.

"It's not promising that (an LLM's) ability is that best so prompt-dependent." The cognitive bias is so thick. This is akin to being concerned your computer's calculator is so button-order-dependent - "Straight up give the calculator all the right numbers and symbols, but can't implement them."

Must've been great to live that long without experiencing at least one good reason to despise American law enforcement.

there are so many thoroughly antisocial behaviors that would shock and disturb you coming from any other human being but are completely standard for cops

# 62,937 on the list of Things I Needed to Know at the Start of Complex PTSD Recovery.

This is Complex PTSD. It can occur after experiencing a series of traumas over time - and they can be micro-traumas and/or vicarious traumas (such as repeatedly consuming depictions of others' traumatic experiences).

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple.
