Research from @smnstuttgart.bsky.social shows #LLM #AI chatbots reflect typical human biases about insects: - Bees/butterflies good, wasps bad - 'Bees' restricted to honeybees, 'wasps' to yellowjackets, underplaying masses of vital species onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1... #bugsky #scicomm

Okay, but tell me why the captions on www.nbc.com/nbc-insider/... are wrong (he clearly says “whitely” and then the captions say “wisely”) - there are other errors, too. What the hell?

The Trump Administration is desperate to have this case dismissed www.everylibrary.org/trump_imls_e... via @everylibrary.bsky.social

Thinking of this sign from the Sackets Harbor protest:

“Ai would never rebel against me like those accursed human voters” - every evil billionaire in a movie before his Ai destroys the entire world

WaPo's own AI summary is calling BS

another day, another reason to hate AI

‘Meta has stolen books’: authors to protest in London against AI trained using ‘shadow library’

Overturning democracy and replacing it with one-party tyranny. It's happening right now in North Carolina. Coming to a state near you.

If I wanted to weaken the United States and make us less capable of combating 21st Century threats, I’d be doing exactly what the Trump White House and DOGE are doing.

Hi, just a reminder that when you use Libro.fm for your audiobooks, you support independent bookshops vs. large corporations that drive them out of business. We also pay taxes. And so do indie bookshops.

TODAY. ONE DAY ONLY. Don't buy anything today if you can--wait until tomorrow (or if you must, buy from a small business and use cash). Send a message. 👇👇👇

Democrats do not recognize or believe that public uproar, WHICH THEY CAN DRIVE, can change or affect politics. They have instantly forgotten about COVID, 1/6, Charlottesville, the ACA fight, the Kavanaugh fight. They desperately want to believe they have zero agency, so they can relax.

The photo is satire but I totally believe people exist who are like this

This is filth and no one should be on Twitter any longer.

I want to scream

Why do old people think texting 'CALL ME' is acceptable? I feel like I should call them and when they pick up, just say 'text me' .

What do you think?

What movie made you ugly cry 😭

Important to remember. Don't let fear of loss and the bigoted opposition shape your values. Right and wrong are still a thing.

Moving in New York is hugely expensive, demoralizing, contentious, and everyone I know is making concessions they never thought they would (my apt only has hot water in the winter at midday or at 3AM). This is one step toward fairness, and it's a good one.

I’ve been an American citizen since I was adopted in 1998. My mom didn’t trust Clinton’s law that adoptees of citizens were automatically citizens would hold so I became one through an official ceremony. But with racists running immigration? I don’t LOOK like a legal citizen. And that’s scary.
