Who benefits makes all the difference, though.
When I think about how much training data was used without getting consent from or compensating workers to enrich the ultra-wealthy, the CSAM it produces, & AI-related cognitive atrophy, I understand how God felt when He gazed upon the Tower of Babel
If you have the means, please donate to the Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate and they are overwhelmed with requests. Colorado borders Kansas, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out.

If you are a streamer, or have any form of public Amazon wish list, after March 25th anyone who orders you something will be able to see it.
Amazon is choosing to let people doxx your address by ordering you a gift. Amazon COULD put a security layer in place to prevent this, but they don't care.
1. Major news on trans youth care. The American Psychological Association has reaffirmed its full support for its 2024 guidelines supporting trans youth car.e

They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.

Job offer!!
I’m helping a PBS series look for a social media manager/content creator for an upcoming promotional campaign. The start date is ASAP, and a project timeline that currently goes to July.
This is for a series on American Muslim history, so candidates with cultural familiarity preferred!
I sincerely hope that JD Vance gets this reaction every single place he goes.
Bondi directed federal agents to arrest four journalists.
Georgia Fort, Don Lemon, Jamael Lundy, and Trahern Crews.
All Black. All doing their jobs.
“Screenshot of a promoted Reddit post by u/AYAGDOS. The post reads: ‘Navigating gender dysphoria? Join our confidential, cross-country study of 18–25 year olds to tell your story, challenge preconceptions, and have YOUR experience reflected in the science.’ Below is a banner graphic with the Northwestern University logo and the text ‘TRANS OR GENDERQUEER? SHARE YOUR STORY.’ The image shows a close-up of a hand with light pink nail polish, partially painted blue, held up against a blurred background. A link to ayagdos.org and a ‘Learn More’ button appear at the bottom, along with Reddit vote and share icons.”
If you see this, don't participate. It's a rigged study by Lisa Littman and unethical researcher J. Michael Bailey meant to undermine access to care. Spread the word.
Y'all, it matters that journalists are being arrested on US soil for existing as journalists. Remember when we told y'all fascist regimes look a particular way. This is that.

⚠️ NEED REMOTE WORK 💻
I am disabled and the in-person jobs I've taken and am applying for are unsustainable for me.
If anyone could direct me to any clerical/data remote jobs, I'd be grateful.
I have 20 years experience with Excel and AMS's.

Through Valentine’s Day, I will be donating 100% of my pattern sales (+ TikTok Shop commissions earned to date) to the ILCM. I’m covering transaction fees and matching the donation through work, so $5 spent on a pattern = $10 to the ILCM.

LA people: ICE IS IN KTOWN
Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old U.S. citizen and Minneapolis resident, was murdered by ICE today. He was a lawful gun owner. Our government saw his Second Amendment right as a threat and executed him in the streets.

It's a shame more white men over 35 aren't yelling at them then. Get to work.
recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best. It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence relies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.
it’s come to my attention that my tumblr post has been crossposted to bluesky, so I’m posting it on my account here #AntiAI #GenAI
This is why I'm disappointed we stopped calling these idiots weirdos and freaks
Their entire worldview is based on conforming to an image they have for themselves, the world, etc. If you upset that image, you damage them.
