So, uh. In disability studies we call this a "disability dongle" or a techno-utopian solution to a problem that appeals to the able-bodied imagination rather than the actuality of disabled life itself.
Deploying a LLM to translate a legal notice for an asylum seeker functions similarly.

THANKS AGAIN NEWSOM
ONCE MORE I ASK, IS THIS YOUR KING
We all know that people living in poverty have more experience navigating the real world — by necessity! — than pretty much any of the rest of us, right?
worth remembering, David Lynch directed “fix your hearts or die” specifically at transphobes. it wasn’t a generic “no mean people allowed” statement, it was said by his Twin Peaks character in defense of a trans woman he cared for and deeply respected.
I think this story is a really good example for people to look at when it comes to understanding bias at NYT. It's not that the reporter, Dana Rubinstein, says anything outright false. But the framing, word choices, etc., add up to an unprofessional and biased account.
A billboard I saw for Free The Nukes dot com It shows windmills in a scary thunderstorm and two cooling towers on a beautiful, partly cloudy day. It reads NUKE THE MANDATE, FREE THE NUKES
Maybe connecting the destructive power of nukes to nuclear power plants isn't the best messaging for building more nuclear power plants?
Every day I see cool artwork on here and think, I would repost that if it had alt text.
After revelations that companies like Ring have been selling home security footage to ICE, the most common defense of keeping a camera up seems to be, “But what if I’m stalked?”
And as a violence researcher, I’m just here to state for the record that police do not care about your security footage.

"Gender is a fixed biological reality, like gravity" ok but you're not passing 50 laws making it a crime to defy gravity, why do you suppose that is
If gender were the immutable biological reality they claim to believe it is, they wouldn't need to spend so much energy policing it like this.
Republicans are using kids as a smokescreen for what Big Tech lobbyists want: a national surveillance program to harvest our data with zero protections for people and their privacy.
We must fight this dangerous expansion of surveillance technology.
tweet from Mark Meador @MeadorFTC on Mar 5 People who argue that age verification requires collecting and retaining massive troves of personal data are not operating in good faith. They're just paid by people who want to prey on your kids.
Trump's FTC Chair posts that people opposing age-verification surveillance are just shills being "being paid by people who want to prey on your kids."
The lengths this administration goes to delegitimize dissent is staggering.
There's an emerging undercurrent in AI skepticism as the EO mandating its use in K-12 education is rolled out and mothers are pushing back on untested tech ed taking over our children's learning.

"This probably sounds like nightmare fuel to many, but to wealthy VCs and AI and crypto entrepreneurs it’s the next gold rush." is the quote of our time
Cis people need to pay attention to the way they communicate this. They freely admit that after all of their research, they came up with zero evidence that HRT was harmful.
Then they banned it anyway, claiming their inability to find a reason is a reason in of itself.

‘I had never the intention of working a job, and when I got into the pilot, you'd think that that would convince me even more not to work, because why do I need to work, right? I've got the money coming in. But when the pilot came through, I thought, “Well, if I work, then I can save all the money from the pilot and maybe some from the job as well,” and if I'd never been tempted by the pilot weirdly enough to go and do more work to get more money, then I never would have become more social and gone out of the house, and just developed as a person as I have over the past 2 years.. it made me happy. It changed how I acted quite a lot’ (YP62 - End of Pilot)
Love this experience by one of the basic income pilot participants in Wales. They got £1,290 a month after tax for two years (about $1,862/mo), and at first they planned to not get a job, but then after getting into the pilot, they changed their mind, because why not do more to get more money?

I won’t use these posts to cite the specific traumas Palestinian children in occupation detention have endured. We’ve gotten this far without peddling their pain.
Palestinian-led, research-informed mental health workshops for these kids. Let’s do it:
