Even before A.I, Black students were often accused of not writing essays and reports. How could THIS kid possibly write that well. Imagine what it's going to be like now.

Mark Zuckerberg is a monster.

At least one AI company is thinking about monetizing its users' mortality. Last year, Meta was granted a patent for an AI system that could keep a user account active well after death. In the words of the patent, "the language model may be used for simulating the user when the user is absent from the social networking system, for example, when the user takes a long break or if the user is deceased". It's a depressing thought, the idea of posting for ever. It's also potentially lucrative for Meta, as the company could continue to train its model through these zombie accounts.

this is a very important point: the panic over medical care for trans kids is almost entirely about transmascs meanwhile, the panic over trans people in sports is almost entirely about transfemmes both are patriarchy and misogyny in action, just cutting opposite ways

We still don't talk about the way medically transitioning trans boys and transmasc nonbinary kids are the primary focus of the moral panic over trans kids.

Was watching Buffy’s Anya backstory episode. Friend asked why I sighed. “She’s not of a sufficiently high social class to have domesticated rabbits that far north in Europe in that century, but the writers couldn’t know, the paper was only presented at a conference yesterday.” Accuracy is fleeting.

More seriously, it is National Coming Out Day here in the semi-dystopian United States, so I want to reiterate this: there is no “too old.” No such thing as “too old” to come out, whether as trans, gay, bi, ace, anything. Self-knowledge comes at a cost and takes you as long as it takes you.

I know of an excellent mathematician who uses ChatGPT a lot in “dialog” to help with their research. But they don’t acknowledge this. When I asked why not, they told me that originally they had done, but when the chatbot saw this in a draft of a paper, it suggested they remove it.

I and a dozen other Colorado trans women had a pizza party to celebrate the retirement of Dr Depaolo. He was the only Kaiser endocrinologist who was allowed to write hormones for trans women, and he would withhold renewing our prescriptions during check ups until after we allowed a "breast exam".

no idea who made this but I think of that random person with gratitude every time I heat up any sort of wraplike food object in the microwave

two scenes from an X-Men animated program: in the first, scott summers and jean gray are making out; he is labeled "microwave heat" and she is labeled "plate." in the second, we are more distant from the couple, and wolverine is standing in the foreground, labeled "my burrito."

This is unsurprising because ai generated code *is* ai generated text. Code is text. People think code is different because you can test to see if it runs. But that just tells you if it runs (or passed the tests defined in the code) It does not and *cannot* tell you if it makes sense
