It floors me how many people think revolution is easier than getting someone elected

@jbcrawford They can take the em dashes from my cold, dead hands. But hell if I’ll join two sentences with them — irony is the only valid case of that.

I'm a fierce LLM critic but I'm getting just as annoyed at all the LLM vigilante detectives in the book space. How about you all do something useful rather than speculating if Daggermouth was generated. Here's a hint. Read the book. It wasn't. I know it's not a nine second video clip but I […]

@skribe Basically, we weakened democratic participation to the point where the lizardman contingent can swing elections.

@skribe Well yes, but it’s real close. Turns out if we gave a damn and actually participated beyond ‘vote, maybe’ we’d gain some damn power.

Rather tired of socialists thinking they can build power by being right at people.

@twipped Right? Some of the flip side of this is that I do post like I’m speaking _to_ people. This is not my personal diary. I have some idea of who the audience is!

This is also the reason I despise most requests for content warnings. I do not in fact want to use your schema for this, and people do not in fact agree on what’s triggering. I’m happy to accommodate specific people in some contexts, but for example generally on social media? Sorry, no. The […]

I realized that one of the things I loathe most about some corners of the internet culture is that people will press _their schema_ for the world onto you and expect you to conform to it. Habitually resisting this is one of the major reasons a lot of marketing and advertising works poorly on me […]

"That looks like AI" is an incredibly hurtful thing to say about a person's creative output. I say this not as a defense of AI art, but as a defense of humanity.

Getting old for a lot of people means that social anxiety hurts less than their knees, and that's a really freeing change in priorities.

RE: union.place/@smolwaffle/11726364848… This. When in fact there are regulatory mechanisms that work great! We can change road designs and make companies pay for harms they cause. And if rates are hard to calculate we can set them in law.

RE: social.wikiworkersunited.org/@wwu/1… This one is so very, very important. Wikipedia holds a very particular place in our collective knowledge-making, and having a union in place adds, among other things like worker protections, a second line of defense against […]

So the actual practice of mutual support in my community looks like: - Knowing the semi-official funds for big problems. There's a fire relief fund, and groups who are reliable about getting out the hat for the big problems - A Discord where people get to know each other - A tool library, just […]

So if you wanted to attack the information ecosystem of everyone who uses LLMs for research, what would you do? I'd try to poison exa, keenable, and a few others. Not sure it'd hit Anthropic or OpenAI, I think they run their own services. But it's a good start. That's where you'd put lies you […]

Welp. Slop article from Open Culture about Dunning-Kruger, by an author whose site is a dead link. I hate how every niche media institution becomes a hall of mirrors reflecting their readers most banal interests. No idea if it was generated or written, but it doesn't matter since the relevant […]
