Honestly, I would say thereās a big part of the story missing, which is Google abandoning the wall between search and revenue.
But also, Googleās AI is so bad it hurts. Google.

Or the Tory party went mad over Brexit, sold itself to dark money, elected a compulsively lying charlatan who kicked out all the MPs of any talent to protect his position, and then finished itself off by gorging on US-imported culture war obsessions.

The Dunning Kruger effect has never been more important to understand.
The number of people who overrate LLM output so long as itās distant from their own specialism is so depressing.

Did this child steal the movies they watched and games they played?

Trans people were lied to??
Using services based on āself IDā (the gender role in which they present) regardless of GRC is right there in the EHRCās 2011 Code of Practice.
Itās in the EHRCās own 2022 guidance.
The Labour Gov recognised this too a matter of months ago.
This is horrific gaslighting.

Absolutely.
These people were appointed by the Tories in order to attack a vulnerable minority. Kemi Badenoch has said this openly.
Are you going to stand by and let this situation continue?

I mean, the conference everyone is talking about where Bluesky was mocked was apparently almost entirely white.
comment in response to
post
Because itās the conference thatās being quoted.
The idea that itās the extreme left only that is unhappy with Democrat inaction is a myth. Is JB Pritzker a leftist?

But thatās whatās being promoted at the conference.

So why do these people talk like itās more representative of the electorate they want to appeal to?
comment in response to

But thatās now you āshouting on Blueskyā.
Even though what you say is backed up by polling figures, that it helps Democrats to be assertively critical on this issue.

But I have these sorts of conversations all the time. Far better than on Xitter.
On Xitter the abuse is really bad.

Eh?
1. Bluesky is LGBTQ heavy. It has been from the beginning
2. People at this conference have been arguing to abandon LGBTQ as a damaging group.

How about *opposing* what ICE is doing? Because Yglesias says thatās bad.

Itās just that all this noise about Bluesky and online not being real world is people trying to avoid real world practical discussion of how to combat the far right.

Do you agree with triangulation as a strategy? Of being anti-immigrant and down on LGBTQ rights in order to court voters?
Do you have evidence that it works?
comment in response to
post
I see a lot of evidence-based criticism of triangulation on here.
comment in response to
post
An even better point would be to listen to the people who should be your core vote and find out why theyāre angry.
Because turnout matters, and because if the triangulation strategy isnāt attracting new voters while it drives loyal voters away, listening might be good.

Typical neolib anthropocentrism
Iām guessing none of your close friends or relatives are viruses.

But Japan also really just needs to have more immigration. Which surveys show the population understands is necessary.

These sorts of things are fixable.
As is the cost of bringing up kids. The government is doing things like making university tuition free for families with three kids. They should extend such benefits to lower ages eg help the cost of cram schools (which so many kids go to).

For example, schools tend to assume there is a caregiver at home available within working hours. Meanwhile employers struggle with the needs of parents to be able to guarantee they can leave work by fixed times.

Partly itās patriarchy - along with Korean men, Japanese men do the least amount of hours of housework, but also itās various assumptions made by employers and schools

Although a reversal of the trend may not be possible, I do think that an arrest in the decline is possible. Japanese society conspires somewhat against two-working-parent families.

Trans women increase their risk of breast cancer if they medically transition. They get subject to sexism and sexist abuse.
Rustin probably knows this (Iām sure sheās been told it) but she doesnāt appear to care.

Thereās a nature paper out recently that did a meta analysis of articles on AI in education that was all very positive. I started sniffing around the papers it analysed (a fair bit of mdpiš£) and at least one has exactly these phantom references: genuine doi but to a completely different paper.

Risk -> fail. FFS autocorrect. āRisk to graspā isnāt a fucking phrase.

As a cis person, obviously I donāt *know* what *that* is like. But Iāve lived enough of life to know parallels in my own life and in the lives of people close to me that help me accept and support what trans people say.
I think fear plays a huge role in cis people refusing to listen and support.
