This is not Discord “walking things back.” This is them further explaining the situation in more detail, and elaborating on how the new system will work. I understand the impulse to attribute this to outrage and Nitro cancellations, but this is just a better explanation, not a change.

Yes, cancel your nitro but also please understand that the ID laws in states are largely giving corporations a lot of "excuses" to do this stuff and you gotta take it up with your state reps. Call them and tell them ID laws are awful and hurt people. 5calls.org

the whole age verification discord thing is shitty and comes as a surprise to a lot of people, but this is directly in response to governments age restricting children from the internet. i had to verify my age on many services months ago in australia. expect many other websites to follow.

The Israeli Knesset voted in favor of a death penalty bill for Palestinian prisoners last year in its 1st reading. The bill will likely pass 2 further readings before becoming a law that formalizes Israel's ongoing killing of Palestinian prisoners.

"Don't worry about the Discord thing, it's only NSFW servers and channels that will require age verification! :)" I could remove every speck of risque imagery/topics from my community and there's still a 50% chance we'd get flagged just because we're openly queer. It's not actually about the kids.

There are MANY middle class and (mostly white) working class Americans who still firmly believe women's lib came along, women foolishly demanded to enter the workforce to prove something, and that's the main reason wages and benefits went down and you can't have a one-income family anymore.

The "protestors were starting trouble" argument is something else that's reading more absurd the more you see it in Australia lately. Even if it were true, it wouldn't actually help to justify police violence, especially when literally any leftist with any engagement in these protests at all...

The essays are remarkably similar: insightful and well informed histories of capitalism, fintech, etc that point to an all-encompassing form of extraction, abuse, racism, and so forth. But rather than plot a form of resistance they imagine a fantasy world in which AI becomes a public good.

This is Smartwashing AI. Many know that the econ & political conditions that enable the tech industry to infiltrate every sector of public & private life are unsustainable & dangerous. But bc resistance is cast as emotional or archaic a cottage industry of wishful thinking from the left has emerged.

TL;DR/Moral of the Story/Whatever THIS is what MSFT and others are pushing. It's not a value add. It's a broken, planet destroying plagiarism engine built on theft. And now, it just makes unprompted changes to things we're responsible for. Why exactly? Reasons, I guess. Cast it into the sun.

And, yes. Grad Student should have checked. You're responsible for what you submit. But why should/would you expect a program to do something you didn't give it a command to do? It's like using =SUM in a spreadsheet and having Excel just create new numbers for funsies. 🧵👇

Turns out the bibliography checker was Agentic AI, which will just *do things* whether it was part of a user prompt or not. In this case, the AI platform *changed the names* of several articles in Grad Student's bibliography. No prompt. Just "bring titles in line with training data." 🧵👇

Prof. Keynote is genuinely shocked by this because they know Grad Student and know they do good, honest, thorough work. Why would *they* fake citations? So, Prof. Keynote calls Grad Student in for a talk. How did this happen? Why would you do this? Grad Student is horrified. They didn't do it. 🧵👇

Grad Student is terrified because the bibliography needs to be in an unfamiliar format, so they decide to run their bibliography through an AI platform (Prof. Keynote won't say which one b/c they don't like to name specific companies, but it sounded like Grammarly) to check. 🧵👇

Prof. Keynote has a reputation for being something of a hardass when it comes to citations and references, both for professional and disciplinary reasons. Fair enough. Grad Student is asked to submit a bibliography for some huge project. Maybe their masters thesis, but it's a bit unclear. 🧵👇

Please, don’t trust ANY anti-sex-trafficking nonprofit that refuses to support the labor rights of consensual adult sex workers. We know for a fact that criminalization leads to exploitation and trafficking. I would also be wary of those who fund such organizations.

when i started working as a journalist in 2014, there were trans reporters in multiple national newsrooms. almost all have left. the high output of anti-trans articles & the near absence of articles by trans journalists are two sides of the same coin: institutional transphobia in the UK media.

I really hope people advocating to ban kids from SM read this. Some kids are isolated by disabilities or circumstances. Furthermore, some kids grow up in abusive households. “Ideally, a child’s exposure to online worlds should be moderated by their parents” isn’t a reassuring sentiment for everyone

Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is. GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart. But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.
