We have to define what we mean by “AI.” Because the model that advanced our understanding of protein folding and the LLMs that churn out the nonsense slop that fills the internet both get called “AI.” And the latter is co-opting the usefulness of the former to create this exactly perception.

There's this ancient usenet post by the creator of Babylon 5 I tend to cite periodically. The gist was that nerds read or watch a lot of nerd shit, and good for them, but they do it at the expense of everything else, dramatically shrinking their frames of reference.

I hope one of the takeaways from this article is to be skeptical when your social media is full of negative content about a famous woman who never really crossed your feed before. It’s horrifying how many people will take a new interest in a celebrity if it gives them an outlet for sexism.

Today I've rolled out the rsky-labeler service to automatically label and report anti-Black content. This means that within milliseconds of someone using an anti-black slur in a post, profile bio, display name, or handle it'll be labeled as antiblack-harassment and reported to @blacksky.app

I will not respond to most of Trump’s nonsense. But out of respect for my forbears, let me set the record straight. The people who did most of the working & dying in constructing the Panama Canal were Black ppl from the West Indies. Not Americans. This guy… For more: www.pbs.org/wgbh/america...

I get a lot of women who recently started their transition telling me it’s overwhelming to try to learn how to beautify/style themselves. And that’s true! Cis girls get to absorb ambient knowledge of this stuff growing up. Here’s a thread of some advice for ramping up, and tips that helped me.

One of my least favorite things about trans social media is the tendency to take a minor philosophical disagreement and turning it into a 'you're either with me or against me' flame war. It's not unique to us, but god damn it leads to some really brutal things being said over really minor things

Consider simply ignoring bad intracommunity opinions. it's not like they're not coming from authorities with the power to enforce them; they would simply suffocate in the vacuum of no engagement.

Republicans aren’t controlled by public opinion but attempt to shape it. Failing this, they use legislative and judicial power to pull the country right. Telling Democrats to follow public opinion—rather than attempting to shape it—gets politics somewhat backwards.

The standard social media cycle of 'trans people do awesome and cool shit and make your place more inviting for the general public' to 'now enough non-trans people are here so we can stop pretending to actually consider trans people human' is so fucking old at this point

Wild that BlueSky makes its user data public, makes a point of proclaiming how important that is, won't let us make our accounts private even for our own safety, and then bans Juni for using that celebrated public information to show what posts the head of T&S interacts with on his work account.

Hi! Juni ( the creator of this bot ) (@queen-of-the.pelf.ie) was suspended and removed from bluesky for literally no reason. We will be stopping service until my (her) account is reinstated.

Good morning. Let me check if I’ve got this right. - Juni created a bot that shows what Aaron (head of trust and safety) likes - His likes are public information - Aaron likes a porn post - Trust and safety ban the bot and creator in 16 minutes - Creator appeals and ban is upheld

With only two weeks left in the year, Philly is on track to have its lowest number of homicides in a DECADE, and its third-best year since 2007. Down 37% since last year, down FIFTY PERCENT since 2022. The entire Covid spike, absolutely wiped out. And the coverage? Basically crickets.

absurd and ridiculous own goal if you’re looking for some counterweight to Trump, it’s a slam dunk to put one of your most charismatic and media-savvy members in charge of oversight Connolly isn’t even terrible as a rep but he’s 74, has fucking cancer, and nobody knows who he is
