weird that we package tobacco in repulsive green with pictures of dead people and cancer patients and rotting flesh but poker machines look like a golden flashing N64 demo station that will suck your cock

Open access has never been more vital in the age of AI hallucinations

I'm sorry, what? In writing my first monograph, I spent six weeks trying to track down a citation in TWO languages I didn't know. And good thing too, because the citation was wrong. That's scholarship. That's research. You know, the thing we're trained to do?!?

In Betrayal at Krondor, you can drop inventory items into sacks, where they stay until you pick them up. However, there is an element of randomness to it, in that there's a non-zero chance items disappear. However, by adding a note to the sack, this probability falls to near, but not absolute, zero

wow — the preprint host, arxiv, is banning authors for a year if they submit papers with hallucinated citations 🤖

my work bestie gave me a shit roster today so i asked him "but arent i your favourite?" and hehe i am <3 (it's fine everyone had a shit roster we were pretty understaffed)

Following on from what I said earlier about scapegoating other trans people, I really feel like this transsexual separatist tendency I'm seeing gaining increasing currency is, ethical issues aside, a strategic disaster.

The nine critically endangered American Red Wolf pups, born at our offsite facility on April 18, meeting their dad Fiddle. Both mom and dad Red Wolf parents share responsibility for raising the pups. The pups will remain behind the scenes at our off-site Red Wolf facility. Stay tuned for pupdates!

Like in terms of threats to trans people who need medical transition to live full lives, the lobby group with the ear of politicians and major medical bodies that is actively seeking ever greater restrictions on our healthcare is more of a concern than the they/them who was shitty to you online.

If journalists did their job, someone would directly ask him about economic logics that require X% of people to be unemployed and how that stacks up with his rhetoric.

i knew a guy who worked at atlassian and i dont think even he had strong opinions about the company

i think the "bold of you to assume i was socialized at all" joke is a lot closer to the truth than the typical assertions and counter-assertions that we were socialized according to our agab or our gender.

i can only assume that "pluribus is slow" actually means "she doesnt fire a gun"

Wake up babe we're debating the concept of art again

im quite happy for queers to engage in general church-bashing, i dont really expect anyone to play nice with christianity when their primary exposure to it is homophobia, but. leftists discussing christianity in any greater detail than "nah fuck that shit" inevitably end up getting everything wrong.

"This will transform historical research!" Cool but it's already being transformed out of existence by the same forces pushing these transformative technologies. Forgive us if we're skeptical of a moment that's telling us "This will help you do your work--which we despise--faster and better."

The most consistently reliable take home message from the labor party is that the people who most need help from the government can expect, at best, to be thankful that their lives will not get worse because the government will never willingly improve them.

has anybody had the surgery where they take your soul out of the dead body it's trapped in and put it back in an alive one

You are a skilful and trusted vizier. You will advise me wisely on how best to rule the kingdom. You will not scheme or plot. You will not inveigle my other courtiers into turning against me. You will not lie to me about scheming or plotting. If you scheme or plot against me, you have to tell me,

idk why you would listen to the albums on that ‘1001 albums you must hear before you die’ thing. if you don’t listen to them you won’t be able to die

it was excruciating to get them to opt me out of AI everything on the phone and text reminders and so on, then after i finally got them to, now there's a fucking video thrown at me weekly asked for a copy of any instances any AI agent or LLM has had access to my PII and they keep ignoring me

I can't believe that, almost a year later, the Shrek gravestone still hasn't sold

The last time I taught my class on the history of Belfast in 2022, @tomhulme.bsky.social Zoomed in to talk about his research; When I teach it again this Fall, I am forbidden from including this material.

it's so fucked up that 'roguelike' now means you get three random upgrades at the end of a level instead of "occasionally the game will generate a gnome with a wand of death and obliterate you (in the event that you havent already died accidentally falling down a set of stairs while overencumbered)"

i do just block you if you reply to a post with a screenshot of llm output

In addition, I just have zero interest in people with no class solidarity, so even if an author used absolutely no AI anywhere in their book, the fact that they immediately turn to AI for a cover is traitor shit. That author is happy to throw anyone under the bus to get what they want.

this post was ultimately inspired by a comment about douglas adams and trans rights, and im reskeeting it because i just stumbled across yet another post claiming that douglas adams would support trans people. we dont know that.

decaf is perfectly respectable; coffee is lovely, caffeine hits some people surprisingly bad, i get it. but decaf instant is nonsense cmon lol.
