hello cis friends this is what people mean by trans genocide if a type of person does not officially exist, then any harm against them cannot be measured or reported this headline change isn't even being caused by an executive order it's simply the NYT editors deciding we don't deserve to exist

So, in summary, we know Musk is a Nazi bc he: 1. Does Nazi salutes. 2. Names everything X, which is 88 in ASCII (88 is shorthand for Heil Hitler.) 3. Posted 14 flags (shorthand for the 14 words white supremacist slogan.) 4. Supports German AFD Nazi party. Does that about cover it?🫣

Shout-out to the former manager who told me point blank: "I don't know how to include you because you're disabled." Those words will affect me forever.

I'm so tired of the fight for accommodations. It's wearing me down. Making me wonder if I deserve an environment in which I can succeed. I feel like I'm losing my damn mind.

Newsletter: Generative AI is a marketing con perpetuated by Sam Altman and Dario Amodei through a mixture of lies and half-truths carried by a tech media that fails to ask the right questions. Outside of ChatGPT, generative AI companies barely get any traffic at all. www.wheresyoured.at/longcon/

Passionate US civil servants, past and present, trying to shine sunlight on the harm being callously and capriciously inflicted upon the nation. Some snark included. go.bsky.app/FLUwv5d

I will say again: The destruction of the CFPB—an agency that has brought in $20 billion over a little more than a decade despite having an annual budget that's less than what DOD has spent so far today—is the clearest sign none of this has anything to do with saving taxpayers money.

Hard agree. Machine learning isn't just LLMs and GenAI. You are using ML every single day in everyday tools. The introduction of ML is not equivalent to exploitation, massive energy use, or whatever valid criticism you have of GenAI.

everyone replying to this post needs to log the fuck off and touch grass. Machine learning was a part of T&S for decades before you ever heard the term "generative AI". If you've ever complained about "all the bots on Bluesky, they should do something", the "something" you're asking for is ML.

Also, if you get vaccinated early in the flu season, check with your doc to see if you should get a second one towards the end of it. Formulations do change in response to new data.

Medical cocaine is referred to as "Vitamin C" in many offices and if you have it administered you get a shiny letter explaining your positive drug test. Source: they used Vitamin C on me as a numbing agent, and no, it was not fun

you know, I hate cleaning the kitchen, but maybe demolishing it to avoid a deep clean was overkill

Wearable makers: hire me to stress test your devices! You'll love to hate me! Honestly it'll be a fantastic waste of your money because I'm the very definition of an edge case.

Me: Woohoo! New high score! Watch: That's your heart rate. Me: ...is that bad? Watch: Nobody programmed me for this trainwreck.
