I just want everyone to have the experience of living in dignity with access to sufficient food, safe housing, needed medical care, high quality education, and time to engage with what sparks their curiosity and spirit this should not be controversial 🫠

We launched our year-end fundraising drive one week ago. Our goal was $65,000 by 12/31, to keep up quality of our work, incl. commissioning translations & fact-checks. We got ≈33% of the way in one week! 🎉 Thanks! If you want to support us, especially after this busy week, it's still a great time:

Leftists really have to prioritize public libraries in budget fights.

Sanctify life “Mourn for the dead, fight like hell for the living“ does not have an asterisk on it

just watched this documentary. I've read about the effects of USAID cuts but seeing Rovina was a fresh heartbreak. watch it if you can and for USians, please do what you can to reverse this situation.

I can’t type anymore but I don’t think it matters. ICR who said it, but we’re doing the work governments & NGO networks should be doing. And it has maxed out because people stopped caring. We’re matching £500 for six families ok? 14 HOURS LEFT. 0/1000

Please help Hammam's family survive Israel's continuing genocide, donations are very slow since the 'ceasefire':

Now do it again.

People often push the disabled to take risks with our health. They think if it’s already “that bad” who cares if it gets worse We care. Our baselines mean everything to us. Whatever limited function we have left is always worth protecting. You don’t get it until you get it.

hey if you are an artist who depends on SNAP, ✅ share some art ✅ share links to where people can buy from/donate to you ✅ share the thread ✅ share someone else's post too ✅ label NSFW/horror/etc. properly ⛔ no AI #artistsonbsky #supportartists #artshare

Uninstall Grammarly NOW. They've partnered with an AI company and actively scrape your writing to train its models.

recently watched a video where the "idk these people and idc about them" tier was just bipoc people and seeing racism so clearly was so !!! wdym all the non-white people are at the back of your silly comedy bus?

SAME

Stop sharing AI slop. It's one thing if you don't know or just made a mistake. No need to breathe down someones neck b/c its harder to tell nowadays. But if you do know (ESPECIALLY IF YOU DO KNOW) even if you're posting it to make fun of it or sharing it unironically... consider not doing that.

just paid the price for choosing US on the VPN wdym they're pushing GLP-1s on a pop culture podcast hosted by a fat Black woman?

what the “misuse” framing does is shift the onus on individual users when shit goes wrong leaving AI developers and vendors off the hook 2/

i’ve said this before but lemme say it again. it makes absolutely 0 sense to talk about “misuse” of llms because there is no clear use or purpose for llms to begin with. genAI is a purposeless tech floating around looking for uptake 1/
