Hayao Miyazaki, who said AI is an "insult to life itself," would probably hate all the AI-generated art ripping his studio's style that people in the AI industry are now obsessed with www.404media.co/hayao-miyaza...

Never was too sure I’d see my social security payout, but I figured it’d be because boomers used it all up, not because Elon Musk hamburglared it

An easy solution for this concern: get rid of gendered sports. All coed, with leagues split by some basic ability metrics. Metric-based splits work for boxing, there’s no reason they shouldn’t for integrating genders. Unless, of course, fairness isn’t really the root of the concern.

Stuff like this always reminds me of Peter Cullen’s talk about the idea that led him to the voice for Optimus Prime: “Be strong enough to be gentle.” Sure it’s for a cartoon character, but the idea that compassion takes more strength than cruelty does is a resonant truth in any form.

Disgust at SJSU’s transphobia aside, if play stats were really what transphobes were concerned about, the sensible thing to advocate for would be getting rid of gender in sports entirely. All coed, leagues separated by performance metrics. Very telling that that isn’t on the transphobe agenda.

Why would the LLM recommend the things it does? Articles like this push folks to accept the black-box text creator’s outputs uncritically as objective truth, when they absolutely shouldn’t. If anything, you should trust LLMs less because you don’t know how the outputs were arrived at.

Coaching MS volleyball, I first told my girls to get 3 touches before attacking. Fundamental, best practice for control. But to turn a game around, we realized it was better to just send the ball over. One touch was fine. Make your opponent have to not mess up, especially if odds are that they will!

In middle school teacher training, the number one tactic for dealing with disruptive kids is to not give energy to negative behavior and only give it to positive behavior. That’s a big part of why Bluesky blocking is so effective at combating these RW trolls & “intellectuals,” and why they hate it
