If you're still buying wizard book shit, you are no friend to the trans community. Here's the wizard book bigot inciting harassment against innocent people to her 14 million followers on the nazi app. And no, they can't Always Tell.

In case you can't tell what just happened, JK Rowling instructed her followers to take photos of anyone in a women's restroom who doesn't match their idea of Western feminine beauty standards. Short hair? Thick cheekbones/jaw? Too tall or broad-shouldered? You're now "a man" and will be harassed.

it's funny to insinuate artists who post all their work online completely free for other people to enjoy are actually copyright-clutching groups or dupes for the global IP regime

one person plagiarizing somebody is a major offense but LLM’s plagiarizing millions of people and it’s called innovation.

the problem the tech CEOs have with their "AI" programs is that they are not intelligent at all, they are just predictive text programs trained on what people have said on the internet, and a lot of people think tech CEOs suck and have talked about their shortcomings and scandals etc

Yes and I challenge the notion trans people have "increased" visibility compared to the 2000s or before. We've been a focus of fascination and mockery across the entire history of mass media and lots of people are plainly nostalgic for the pleasure they got from our public humiliation

This is incredibly funny but, also, I hope everyone who is pro AI or a teacher that allows AI can see clear as day that the ultimate goal is to put the thumb on the scale of all of this shit. That's why they're forcing it on us. It's a joke.

It was when JK Rowling said that the Cass Review was a peer review itself and that's why it didn't need to be peer reviewed I realised she's an idiot. Anyway, here's a peer review of Cass. Guess what it finds?

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders? the term "cancel culture" originally steams from Black women freelancers who noticed, around 2015/16 that we weren't getting paid on time/at all and barely any editors of Color were being hired on for permanent positions

there are a lot of western leftists who are always just itching for a chance to express antifeminist & misogynistic sentiments under plausible deniability and i think you're a stooge at best if you run to reinforce the plausible deniability as soon as someone calls out what's happening

Saw someone ask ChatGPT a medical question and it was shockingly wrong, almost like it's not an intelligent, all-knowing brain floating in cloud space, but actually just a powerful text predictor... Nothing makes me lose respect more than someone using the argument "I asked ChatGPT" in anything

With @davidgilbert.bsky.social : We retraced the history of the #TeslaTakedown, which began with a BlueSky post + has evolved into a nationwide movement that's led thousands to protest outside Tesla dealerships.

I wrote about how the 2020 protests hurt Trump politically. I also wrote about how counternarratives about left-wing violence are just spin — and wildly at odds with the reality of extremist violence. Gift link: wapo.st/3SOEv6e

Based on crowd-sourced records of No Kings Day event turnout, and extrapolating for the cities where we don't have data yet, it looks like roughly 4-6 million people protested Trump across the U.S. yesterday. That's nearly 2% of the U.S. pop! Mobilized anti-Trump resistance is exceeding 2017 levels

The Tea Party protests in April 2009 had about a third of a million people involved, and the political media treated it like a game changer for the Obama presidency. The No Kings rallies were AT LEAST ten times bigger than the Tea Party protests. Will the press keep pretending Trump is popular?

A reminder to reporters, when historians look back on this moment with the president throwing himself a military parade and the people throwing No Kings rallies across America, the media sources raving about the former and sneering at the latter are going to be quoted by name. This is your legacy!

Framing everything in debate club terms is that we spend inordinate amounts of time bickering over rules of engagement - it's why "free speech" now somehow means right-wing censorship. It's also why every act of political violence is only discussed in terms of the violence, not the politics.
