Finally, after way too much research, and going WAY too deep on the exact specifics of how Fang math works... The full SIXTY PAGE Fang, Dracai of Blades Primer 1.0 is now live on the Patreon! Gotta admit, I'm pretty proud of this one. www.patreon.com/posts/fang-d...

Somebody called being barefoot “I’ve got my grippers out” and it’s haunting me.

Indeed. LLMs are LLMs. Machine learning is machine learning. AIs are Astro Boy, Robby the Robot, Cmdr Data, the Ghost in the Shell Puppet Master, etc. I will not use the term for anything less. Don’t feed the hype machine. Don’t call it AI.

Not only should the Dems refuse to cave on the shutdown; they should announce they won’t vote for a budget until: (a) the military is withdrawn from every American city where it’s been deployed; (b) the budget forbids the use of any funds for that purpose; AND (c) the healthcare demand already made.

I'm on the spectrum. I'm 76. RFK Jr can fuck off into the heart of the sun.

double down, you stupid motherfuckers, every car dealership, personal injury firm and local franchise is about to get inundated from the angriest fucking libs you have ever met in your life demanding they stop advertising on sinclair stations

If you're a cis person who wants to be kind to your trans and nonbinary friends right now, please do not forward us links to stories about trans people being abused, having their rights taken away, or living in fear. We already know. A friendly "hey I hope you're OK" is much more helpful. 💖

The first duty is to the truth.

it's so funny to see America's health insurance companies be like "look. If there's one thing we love it's denying you care. but we ran the numbers - and we cannot BELIEVE we're saying this - and it's cheaper for us to just pay for the vaccines than deal with you going to the ER."

people who still post on twitter I guess have at this point made up their minds but if you’re looking for another good reason to dump twitter and tiktok maybe consider how fun it would be to make these bad investments for some of the world’s most annoying boneheads

it’s revolutionary to find joy & connection. that’s worth celebrating

chuck's gotta go, man just can't even pretend to meet the moment we're in, you cannot be out there talking about bipartisan funding for the health care system when the VP is threatening your constituents with loss of employment and freedom for speaking their minds in public

Yes. What Kirk did is a simulacrum of discussion & debate, constructed without any of the good faith that might give it meaning or impact. It was a show -- humiliating liberals &, by invoking liberal values like "civil discourse" -- fooling them into playing along with it.

I wrote a book called "Stories Are Weapons" which is a history of psychological war in the United States. In it, I describe how the US military came to a simple definition of rhetoric used for destructive purposes in war (so-called psyops) vs. for democratic debate. Want to know what it is? (1/3)

Bluesky is now 20% random posts by people refusing to acknowledge the news of the day, 30% people reacting to the news & main characters of the day, & 50% exhausted artists trying to sell their work with strained, cheerful posts. Nevertheless, we persist. Throw a coin to your Witcher if you can.

Excited to finally show you Angelic Attendant. I'm very VERY excited about what this card can allow us to do. And the name feels... kinda personal lol. Initial breakdown linked. youtu.be/k924wtZBsr0

Thank you so much to LSS for this opportunity and for the community that supports us. We love you all🤍

@pitchperfectpod.bsky.social and @rainbowxpitch.bsky.social are pillars of the #FaBTCG community. They have put countless hours in and I'm so happy to see them being given recognition for their fantastic efforts. Thank you so much for all the incredible work youve done and continue to do 🥰

Hey #fabtcg community. I started a Trans Lifeline fundraiser. I'm at work now, but I'll be doing giveaways related to this fundraiser with more info about it tomorrow! If you can donate, thank you so much! If not, no worries. Please share with a friend: give.translifeline.org/fundraiser/6...

#fabtcg (CW): Transphobia LSS has had a great track record in making our community a safe and inclusive space, and I'm disappointed I think that it's gross that someone who's being touted as the potential "Professor" of FaB is still making "jokes" like this in his videos (as recent as Yesterday)

One of these is not like the others One of these is a bigoted jerk who should not be put on a pedestal like this by LSS, considering his thoughts on trans folk and women. One of these most definitely shouldn't be heralded as "The next professor of Flesh and Blood".

Calling him "The Professor of FaB" is a disgusting insult to the Prof and everything he stands for. Can't believe you would support such a person when you preach inclusivity in your game. YET ANOTHER L for LSS 🤮

It's a joke and a slap in the face that you'd praise Pitch Perfect's efforts in lifting women and LGBTQ people in the hobby while at the same time funding a known misogynist and transphobe. And the AUDACITY to compare him to The Professor who does yearly fundraisers for Trans Lifeline?

that term is so completely wrong on every level. Too many people have adopted the idea that "AI" is somehow capable of thought, and the language has normalized that.

Every single person should be born and live and die knowing all the while that their basic human needs will be met by society.

Trans people have been around your whole life. You’ve been sharing bathrooms with them your whole life. They’ve been in your communities your whole life. They’ve even been playing sport your whole life. And you didn’t care *at all* till a few years ago when every right wing org decided you should

This format is going to be like 60% of what journalism is in the next few years and, honestly, good! This is incredibly thorough. I do wonder when the major networks are gonna get the hint.

This is amazing!

How did you get so cool, Kim?

To you, Lord Governor, Remains the censure of this hellish villain

Instead of regurgitating the bromide that LLMs are just "autocomplete on steroids" (even by people who know better), maybe we can actually engage in some public education. The problem with genAI is better expressed through a classic computer science concept, known as SYMBOL GROUNDING. 🧵

While I find the autocomplete analogy to be a useful starting place when explaining how LLM‘s work, this detailed thread digs into more fundamental critique of the technology.

That's my secret, Cap. I'm always anxious.

Take me down to the paradox city where the grass is green and there is no city

TRANS HEALTHCARE TROLLEY PROBLEM A runaway trolley is set to roll down the empty track, saving the trans people. However, that guy over there might voluntarily walk onto the train track. Do you pull the lever, sacrificing the trans people to protect that one guy from possibly making a mistake?

"Remember. You only get the chance to choke if you're good enough to win." Heard someone say this on a non-FaB related video, but damn it just hits home, and I never want to forget this. Never let yourself be defined by failure. If you weren't good enough to win, they wouldn't have been failures.

Hey putting it out there, Disco Elysium is like the most important game ever to me, but dont play the mobile version that's releasing in a few days. The actual devs and writers of the original game were fucked over by the publisher, and this mobile version is a shameful exploitation of their passion
