There is a discussion cropping up in the replies here about which I would like to have a side discussion. "Llms are good for research" isn't true and here's why: half of information's utility is lost if you don't know the source.

LLMs as they currently exist, represent a capitalist enclosure of the internet that we all made together For the benefit of billionaire parasites who are blowing up an AI bubble that will crash the economy again. If you don't care about that... I don't know how to explain that you should

If I see you posting images with no alt text, I just won’t repost. If I see you messing around with alt text like this, making it less than useless, I’ll block.

She deserves the loudest death possible. Well, no, she deserved life, of course. But since death it was, let's ensure she gets all the decibels.

let’s look back at what has happened so far Cory Booker giving a 25 hour speech: everyone loved it, raised his profile Van Hollen flies to El Salvador and meets Abrego Garcia: everyone loved it, raised his profile Schumer publicly caved: everyone hated that just a general note to Dems

Trump’s attack on the American mind — on education, science, libraries, and museums — is an attack on the capacity of Americans for self-government. Democracy depends on people knowing what’s occurring around them and having the capacity to deliberate critically about it.

I'll go further: Every time you engage with official Harry Potter products you tell the companies behind them that JK Terfling makes them money. They don't care if you hatewatch. They don't track if you give to a trans positive charity to assuage your guilt. You tell them to keep supporting her.

Can we please stop calling CECOT a prison now? It's not really a prison as we would recognise the English word - most people in there haven't even been tried let alone found guilty, most will never be let outside for air let alone released. Not even a gesture towards rehab or education programmes

It's wild how once people start repeating trans arguments, it seeps into their thinking and they make hating trans people their whole identity and reason for being. It poisons everything because making bioessentialist determinations about other people is incredibly fascist.

I believe in the reality of biological sex - human dimorphism is a norm not a law - humans exist with a wide variety of chromosomal sexes other than XX/XY - XX and XY do not always map to gender expression - you can alter biological sex with the judicious application of hormones & a surgeon's knife

“Just calm down and let people enjoy chatgpt.” Sorry, no. I find it creepy that folks are treating a machine that mimics human speech as their friend / therapist. It is feeding you lies. It is destroying your thinking abilities. Shut it off. Talk to other humans. Go outside.

This administration sent 200+ fathers, sons, and husbands to be tortured in a foreign prison for the rest of their lives. 9 in 10 have no criminal record. None received any due process. If you *aren’t* outraged, you need to check your fucking humanity.

I hope everyone remains safe and also that people know that a corporate spaceflight of only women astronauts for a company owned by a deeply destructive billionaire who is enabling fascism is just public relations for fascism and has absolutely nothing to do with feminism

i do not think the mainstream press is equipped or capable of covering ideological white nationalists and eugenicists as such, or even capable of noting that this is what they are. it is related to the wide belief that racism is simply a matter of manners.
