All this because people want a transphobe kicked off the platform. Trans people played --and still play-- a huge part in this platform being a good alternative to Twitter. Without them, this place would be nothing.

Reminder that @theguardian.com has a partnership with OpenAI, and has of late published a spate of asinine articles that are uncritical in framing, and just read as press releases for the company and for "AI" in general. The headline/implicit framing of this article seems consistent with its biases.

The official database of works eligible for the Anthropic AI settlement has been released and, as I suspected, many authors are screwed. Basically, if your books weren't officially registered with the US Copyright Office you're out of luck. 1/ secure.anthropiccopyrightsettlement.com/lookup/results

OpenAI is essentially a social arsonist, developing and releasing tools that hyper scale the most racist, misogynistic, and toxic elements of society, lowering the barriers for all manner of abuse. The so called guardrails make a pinky swear look like an ironclad contract.

RIP Renato Casaro, an Italian artist known for his film posters. He passed away yesterday at the age of 89.

Meanwhile whilst everyone looks at boats......genocide is openly declared on a captive civilian population..... And the white west watches on in silence.... But fear not, theyve 'recognised Palestine' so we'll know WHERE the bodies are. #Genocide #IzrahellIsATerr0r1stState #WhiteTerr0r1smMatters

People recognised as refugees fleeing persecution & granted the right to live in the UK to be denied the right to be joined safely by their spouse & children. This Labour govt is a moral void, a stinking darkness, an empty hollow of cowardice & contempt. #r4today www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

Pay attention to the language that will be used by much of the media. The Global Sumud Flotilla never entered Israeli waters. They are in international waters attempting to reach Palestinian waters. Israel is once again breaking international law

”Researchers found a notable and widespread increase in the density of AMPA receptors across the brains of patients. This… was directly correlated with the severity of their cognitive impairment…” #LongCovid #BrainFog scitechdaily.com/scientists-f...

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD

So Israel have boarded the Sumud Flotilla, heading to Gaza to provide aid, and detained people. Illegally. Not that makes any difference to Israel, but it should to the rest of the world. Starmer and our government should be speaking up about this.
