yeah i follow the classics or whatever

Saying LLMs “hallucinate” is wrong because it implies instances where they are grounded in reality. But they’re not, because they’re not built to approximate truth - they just mimic speech.

meanwhile costco was all “DEI is good and we’re keeping it, fuck you” and they’re now basically printing money

Wild how you push back on a liberal who keeps trying to think it's worthwhile to pander to the right and they immediately grow dismissive or hostile.

I’m reupping a piece on Emory Upton who was probably the most influential American officer of the late 19th century. He was genuinely a good tactician, hyper agressive and a outstanding combat leader in his own right. But he also drew all the wrong lessons from a civ-mil standpoint…

You guys, so many Romance girlies are reading "On Tyranny" that they've broken the Goodreads recommendations algorithm. 10/10; no notes. #romancelandia

I'm scared for the Trans Community as a Cis person, this is why I'm speaking up! Please do share ALL this thread and take action for we must speak for Trans people OFTEN. All Transphobes are inhumanely EVIL creatures! Deaths of Kids should NEVER be politicised for such an evil gain. #TransRights

I will remind folks those images of Nazi book burnings aren't burning just any books. They're burning the library of Magnus Hirschfeld; a gay, Jewish doctor who created an institute dedicated to LGBTQ sex education and healthcare. And a man who pioneered gender affirming care surgeries.

Ok, this

a chilling warning to america from 2004 !

💙you are enough💙 🩵you are worth it🩵 💛you are deserving💛 🩷you are loved🩷 🧡you are not alone🧡

This is why everything sucks. It's not trans people. It's not immigrants. You are being robbed blind before your eyes and those same people also own all the tech and media networks to tell you that the cause is not them

I cannot overstate how remarkable it is that under GOP rule, US federal health regulations have been captured by fringe crackpots who espouse views that the vast majority of the US public—and nearly 100% of health professionals—reject. Gift link:

this exists it is called thinking

Social media was once positioned as the great connecting force that would improve our world. If it ever did that, it certainly isn’t now. We must rein in these platforms, and deceptive narratives aimed at stopped regulation isn’t helping. Age restrictions are an experiment worth trying.

In case you wonder which platforms are here to help creators thrive and which are here to tell us to eat shit, here’s the breakdown of likes for crab, 15 hours after posting. Follower count in () for more useful comparison. TikTok(2k): 139 Instagram (22k): 719 Tumblr (13k): 12k Bsky (52k): 22k

As usual with this issue, Harris is calling for a compromise that already exists. Every sporting body has standards for how long athletes must be on hormones before they can compete as women. The problem isn’t that we’re ignoring ‘reasonable concerns,’ the problem is that republicans are lying.

bluesky headquarters is in Seattle, at an address in Pioneer Square that is public because they are a corporation. if there's one place in the country you could get a significant number of protestors outside their office because of this shrouded anti-queer bullshit, it's Seattle.

HEY YOU, BLUESKY USER Do you like art on the site? Then you'd better go give the site's moderators a piece of your mind, because they're looking to instate guidelines on October 15th that *massively* censor art on this platform. Make noise in the comments, submit feedback forms on their site, go.

honestly this is a peak fuckgirl futch

You don't have to completely ditch your account, please just move to a different PDS. It takes minutes and you don't have to worry about BlueSky's draconian censorship. The whole reason folks pushed for people to move to BlueSky was because we knew this could happen and there are safeguards in place

Who could’ve predicted this, other than every single critical data studies scholar, who’ve been highlighting data bias issues for years and years? Given this previous knowledge, it’s criminal that this technology has been deployed at scale. A triumph of willful ignorance and wishful thinking.

if these needs aren't met by the end of the week i'll be deleting my entire media tab. there's supposedly 2,000+ here following me if 1/10th of you see my posts and send $1 that's $200 $200 fills the medicine goal i've had running for going on six weeks now. cashapp/venmo/paypal: goblinthempress

Starcraft: Ghost - coming 2003! Sniff. 😢 One of the games I most fervently wish had gotten a release. Everything I've seen from magazine previews to trailers to the surviving beta playable bits points to it being all kinds of awesome. #VideoBytes

They're making the sunsets transgender!

If y'all don't see me at some conferences this year... it's because this has been YEARS in the making. Trans people aren't safe here. PLEASE stand up--personally and professionally (lookin' at you, academics)--for the trans people in your life.

Wow we should base our entire economy on this technology

Loyola Marymount just declared its faculty union doesn’t exist anymore. Non-tenure track professors say the Catholic university walked away from bargaining talks using a religious exemption to avoid federal labor laws—something labor advocates say has never happened before.

“We are not working on building an AI agent. We are working to protect Signal from the invasion of AI agents that threaten privacy and that are being implemented in irresponsible ways”

good morning

In case anyone has forgotten, vaccines are literally MIRACLES and one of the greatest inventions in the history of mankind. Seriously MAGIC.

Taking commissions still. DM me if you're interested.

also one way to look at this: This bill is comparable to a US version of europe's Chat Control proposal so it needs to be taken seriously

Chiitan loves all transgender people. I've received a lot of criticism for expressing my support, but what's more important is that all transgender people live happy lives. Blue Sky cannot display long posts, so please read this post if you'd like. love you all 🤍 ↓ www.instagram.com/reel/C9qppva...

Taking this advice as a chance to share the amazing game a dear friend of mine developed, Toward Dawn! It's a fantasy RPG inspired by Welsh mythology, featuring loads of interesting characters and places to explore. Would very much recommend giving it a go ♥️ store.steampowered.com/app/3140160/...

I think someone should file a class action suit against social media platforms for collectively traumatizing people.

Just in case any of y'all thought they'd actually filibuster the appropriations bills coming with all the anti-trans provisions and shut the government down. Call your senators, demand no anti-trans and anti-LGBTQ+ provisions in appropriations bills.
